It would be a stupid trade for PHO, too. Add Damian Lillard to that roster and they still miss the playoffs in the West and end up with a worse draft pick.

They should just suck it up and go the full PHI route. They aren't going to be competitive anytime soon anyway. A couple more 21-win seasons == a couple more top 4 picks. Rather than trading away any of their youth, they should just keep adding more young guys and see which ones turn out to be something special.

Given the playoff picture in the West, youth is the one thing they have on their side. Bide your time while GSW and HOU age, stockpile as many young assets as possible and your window opens when everyone else's is closing. They're already 3 years into a 5 -year tank-a-thon. It makes no sense to give up on The Process at this point.

Why? Seriously.

Does PHO even make the playoffs in the West with Damain Lillard. I don't think they do. And they'd have to give up some of their young assets to get him (I don't think POR would ever trade him, and if they did, they would ask for the moon in return).

As I said in my previous post, they are 3 years into a 5-year plan to build through the draft. Changing course now doesn't make sense.

You're either misreading or misinterpreting or mistyping or missing something.

 

of course its preferable. but more times than not a guy doesn't want to be moved. they do it anyway. maybe going to Phoenix, still being the star, grooming young guys and getting them back on track is appealing. Oh and throwing lobs to Ayton and racking up assists with Booker.

 

Nope.

 

I'm not saying I agree with their strategy. I'm just theorizing...like two steps back theorizing. And I'd totally agree that they have a decent plan if not for Trevor Ariza and this trade for Ryan Anderson. These things I don't understand...

I doubt they'd make the playoffs with Dame, but obviously they believe in what they're doing if they're looking for a 28 year old point guard. I don't get it, honestly.

 

It doesn't even make sense. I'm theorizing why Phoenix would think it is okay to pick up the phone, which was the question btw. Can a list of real things listed as a theory even be a crock of shit? I don't think it can. I'm not saying it makes sense or is a good idea or Dame would want to live there or whatever. I'm just answering the fucking question. You answer the fucking question. Why would Phoenix even think to make that call. I think saying an offhand theory is a crock of shit is a sloppy crock of shit.

 

So fucking gross, man. Why?

 

Lord have mercy!

 

Lol. It's sweet potato pie filling.
