    I do too, but I'd also insist on Cleveland taking Leonard back as well.

    I'd consider CJ and Ed to Cleveland for Love, Korver and the Brooklyn pick... We probably still make the playoffs, barely, but then Stotts finally has the legit stretch 4 he has always tried to make other players be. Slide Aminu to the 3 and Turner to the 2 or Pat C to the 2. It would be a transition to a younger team anchored by Vet's like Love and Dame. SHort term sideways move long term gain.

    That would be a home run for Portland if that happened.

    Slightly disingenuous; Lamb plays consistent minutes, plays every game, and is performing on par with what he did last year as well. He's a legit player. He would more than make up any offensive difference between CJ and Love, and be a significantly better defensive player at the 2.

    They need great analysts.

    I am actually an FP&A analyst by profession with some decent experience. Find me a job at an NBA team!

    That is my point regarding the trade. CJ is better than Lamb individually in scoring, but add Lamb's defense and size and it is much closer. Then add MKG's defense and athleticism with Love's rebounding and scoring and to me it is a no-brainer.

    Yeah, I'm thinking that's not going to happen.

    Future Picks:
    Portland has all of their own 1st round picks and no one elses in the current future.
    Portland does not have a pick in either 2018 or 2020.
    In 2019, they have the better of LAL or Minny 2nd rounders (they do not have their own.)
    Extra 2nd rounder in 2021.

    https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/future_drafts/detailed

    So, trading a pair of future 2nd rounders isn't likely.

    What do we have to trade?
    2018 1st rounder.
    Ed Davis EC
    Some young players who haven't peaked.

    Other Notes:
    The following teams do not have a 1st rounder in 2018:
    Detroit, Houston, LAL, Miami, Milwaukee*, Pels, OKC*, Toronto*.

    *picks movement depend on where teams finish.

    I mean, if we could trade ET for Bazemore, I'd do it. We would save ~1 mil per season I believe AND he would be a better fit on the floor.
