    Surprised they don't have more fans that are blinded by the hope of potential that is so obvious to many here!

    keep in mind, Paul George has shown massive loyalty to the Clippers, the team that drafted him after all; it's understandable he has a close connection with Clipper fans

    I disagree. It's still a little bit of a hypothetical for teams. Also, waiting allows for better trade options to come up. Who knows? Embiid might ask out if Harden leaves and they start losing. Just one example. Maybe things get ugly with Brooklyn and reverse course on Bridges.

    Trade Ant for a starting wing. Trade Nurk for another option at center. Let Scoot come off the bench.

    What the fuck are you talking about PG is the ultimate sell out? I can never take what you say seriously again.

    I took away the fine print and went crazy on you for no fucking reason.

    (I know this is not YOUR perspective, Tince :) )

    That is such a simplistic approach.

    If we could have Paul George's career to date? Sure. Trade all the people.

    If we could have Paul George over the last couple of years? Nah.

    If anyone expects him to be better, moving forward (including the next two years at over $90m), then they are being ridiculous IMO.

    I definitely agree with the drafting of scoot. The other two depend on who we can get in trades, but I'm doubtful we could do any better than those two guys.

    I'm not saying I agree with the logic, just providing proof that there are Clipper fans who don't like the Ant & #3 for PG13 trade just like there are Blazer fans who don't like it. Some people here value our own players/picks so much, they can't fathom the rest of the country doesn't see it the same way.

    Personally, I would not trade Ant & #3 for PG13 if I were Portland. If I were the Clippers, I'm not sure I'd love the move either. Ultimately, both team would need to have other moves ready to make such a trade make sense.

    Yeah, I edited my post to acknowledge you were posting it as an example, rather than your personal take on things. I didn't do it quickly enough. Oops.

    I agree trading Ant or Nurk should be dependent on who we can get in return (same goes for the #3 pick). Curious why you feel Nurk/Ant have more value to Portland than the rest of the league, and therefore you're doubtful we can do better than those two?

    A roster with Dame/Ant/Sharpe/Scoot would somehow be the most imbalanced roster we've had in the last decade of having imbalanced rosters.

    I see these exchanges and urge people to use the ignore feature.

    Don't like the cryptic nature of MM's sharing of information? Fine. Move along and don't make a fuss. Others that have interacted with him in the past and have gained knowledge from his posts appreciate them.

    How much value will Scoot have after he’s summer league MVP and we’re hoisting another trophy???
