    I'm trying to think about our targets this year: Simmons, Collins and Siakam. It doesn't help that Philly might trade Simmons for less if they can get rid of Harris, cuz Bledsoe contract not big enough to match either Simmons or Harris. Toronto doesn't have any big contracts that they want to unload. What if Atlanta decided that Gallinari and Bogdanavich are not good values? Just doesn't make sense, with them winning 7 or 8 straight. I can't think of what the next move would be and if there is a next move, why not right now?

    Roco has been playing very well in the last month.

    Any idea on what kind of package we could get for the both of them? Id think Nurk has a good chance to stay here, but CJ I would think is on the move.

    He said "Cam Johnson" which gave me a flashback of Game of Zones and the team trading team thought they were getting Dillon Brooks but were actually getting Marshon Brooks.

    Maybe Cronin thought he was getting Cam Johnson.:)

    his 'analysis' of the Portland side of the trade is that it's not as shitty as it appears because there will be a step 2 and a step 3. And he spent time talking about CJ for Hart, Satoransky, and Hayes. That's an 'example' of step 2....I guess

    sure, there could be other trades before the deadline. But the CJ to Pels trade he outlined had no bearing on the trade today. Just seems like he is not only moving the goal posts but making them as wide as the playing field

    and I already see people excusing this trade, if nothing more happens before the deadline, because there could be moves in the off-season. Which, by the way could have happened without today's trade.

    about the only way this trade can be remotely rationalized is if Bledsoe is traded for something good before the trade deadline

    There was a time, many moons ago, that this would be deemed as a bannable post.

    LOL Cronin worse than John Nash.

    It appears both may have been hired for the same purpose.

    Who evidently can't shoot. 27% three point shooter in college and the NBA so far.

    Yay.

    There is no upside to this trade from a competition standpoint. Not now. Not in the future. We didn't even get picks FFS

    There isn’t supposed to be. But there might be down the line with Keon.

    Maybe Cronin doesn’t expect the Blazers to keep him so he did the Clips a solid to try to entice them to give him employment next season?
