    Fuck offering a first for Mirotic. Was always against that. Good for Chicago though.

    It’s a move to hopefully keep them in the playoff race after Demarcus went down. Portland won’t do anything and it’s up for debate whether they even should because they are playing good basketball right now. Don’t know who else would be out there to try and trade for anyway

    As much a Blazer as Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and less than Justin Jackson.

    Not as much as Federico Kammerichs.

    Why give up a first round pick for Asik? He doesn't even sniff the court and is overpaid already.....we don't need another bench center

    Chicago took a useless backup C with a big contract and a 1st for a young stretch 4.

    I think we could have beat that offer for Mirotic.

    well, we're kind of settling the trade deadline pricing down...

    1st plus 2 ok starters: Blake Griffin and Salary Matching
    1st plus Salary Dump: Nicola Mirotic.

    Unfortunately, many Blazer fans seem to want:
    Salary Dump + Salary Dump = 3rd or 4th option.

    Can @HCP stop mowing lawns long enough to take care of that for Neil so he can work on trades?

    I think Mirotic would be a HUGE upgrade from Aminu at PF.

    16.8 PPG, .429 from 3pt, 6.4 RPG in only 24.9 MPG.

    PER 36 are 24.3 PPG and 9.2 RPG

    He has a 22.2 PER

    His 108 DRtg is 2nd best on the Bulls.

    He's 25 years old.

    I like NO's drafting ability, but is he going to get that kind of performance out of the next 1st round pick? There's no guarantee.
