    I gave you a bunch of stats which prove that DeAndre is declining, and you had no response. Now do you want to participate in logical argument instead of acting like a douche? Because I'm not going to entertain both.

    I would not give up a 1st for Matthews. No. They are asking for a 1st for him and they haven't gotten it (and won't imo) yet. As I said, a 2nd sure.

    This dude wants to give up Nurkic AND picks for DeAndre, who's expiring, declining, and will command $25M over 3 years at least. And then he tries to act like his opinion is superior. LMAO.

    I understand why not, I believe we'd gain more flexibility and more of an upgrade than you or Gronk does. Thinking about it harder, I'd probably want their 2nd (which is around 33 right now). Moving down 13 picks in the draft to swap those two out is definitely worth it.

    Still no way I'd ever want to even swap Nurkic for DeAndre straight up. That shits ridiculous.

    Agree with you on DeAndre part.

    That's what I don't understand. I understand not wanting to do that Matthews deal and we can have a discussion about it. But this man has some nerve. I've been polite to this dude given how rude he's been.

    A new coach. Dame was great in transition in college. He can run. We can run. IMHO it's all coaching.

    Oden and Bowie were both 7 footers. Parker is 6’8 and much lighter. If Shaun Livingston can come back from a torn ACL, MCL, meniscus, and dislocated patella then Parker can come back from two ACL surgeries in 3 years. People forget Westbrook has had 3 surgeries on the same knee.

    I’m coming around on the idea of trading our pick, but only if it’s for an upgrade, not getting rid of a contract.

    We need a small forward that can shoot so bad. It would open so many things up. I don’t want to break this team up without getting a chance to see that.

    So our pick should be shopped.

    Plus our first.

    Evidently Orlando isn’t sold on Payton so Napier could be of interest. They also get a look at Vonleh. Aminu fits the type of athletes their front office looks for and is on a tradeable contract if they wanted to move him. So for Orlando it’s a minimum commitment financially.

    We get Gordon and dump Afflalo. Mack can replace Napier. Financially, Aminu, Vonleh and Napier should combine to make about what Gordon will get in FA.

    Dame
    CJ
    Turner
    Gordon
    Nurkic

    That’s fine. I wouldn’t offer more. Like I’m sure Orlando would want Collins. But no thanks.

    I don't think that's enough but I'd do it. I'm more interested in Napier, Vonleh, Turner, and a pick for Fournier and Simmons.
