Well, Jeff Green is pretty horrible now. Extremely inconsistent.

 

Yeah which is why idk if it would work, however he is expiring. LeBron also has a turned a good track record with previously inconsistent players.

 

I'm all for adding love. But no way Cleveland touches that deal. Irving and LeBron are basically their 2 PGs. They don't need a 3rd in rondo. Especially since rondo can't shoot a lick. What does he do when LeBron or kyrie have the ball?

Again, though, I'd love the addition of love, for all his warts. The passing between him and plumlee from the front court would be beautiful.

 

Wonder if the Blazers might have interest in Rudy Gay?

 

Where's all the HELL NO at? Haha

 

If we took the time to reply to all your kooky ideas, nothing would ever get done.

 

TBH I'd take Markieff. He's an instant plug in PF and he has a low stock. I know this probably isn't popular with most. But I think it would be the most effective way to fill the PF need without giving up much.

 

For people who want to trade CJ - how does getting one stud back for him improve us, when we're losing a stud to get said stud?

 

Because if we could get a small forward stud or a power forward stud, we could move crabbe into the starting lineup.


Example

Dame
Crabbe
Aminu
Cousins
Plumlee

That lineup looks shitty, and you've successfully gutted out bench by starting Crabbe.

 

But we can still go out this summer and focus on getting a small forward like chandler parsons.

Dame
Crabbe
Parsons
Cousins
Plumlee

Crabbe is a free agent this summer. Do you want to pay him 11 million per year to come off the bench?

So in other words, C.J. is the savior to the team and there's no other direction to go in.

 

BGD with the hyperbole as usual, but he has a point. Why is a lineup of Dame/CJ/Aminu/Vonleh/plumlee less shitty than dame crabbe aminu cousins plumlee?

Cousins is overrated and a head case. He will not bring success to the Blazers. Thus, I think having both CJ and Crabbe on the team is better than Crabbe and Cousins.

 

With the way Crabbe is playing, there is ZERO reason we should target DeRozan in trade OR free agency. We need SF/PF/C - that's it.

 

I have been looking at the various forums checking on the trade ideas from fans of other teams. The Blazers are being included in a lot of trade ideas. Having so much cap space might land us a decent draft pick, or three.

 

Joe Johnson, Dwight Howard, Enes Kanter, Wes Mathews

 

I want Paul George here

 

I'd like to get Brook Lopez here. He's the low post scorer we need.

BKN Gets: Brandon Jennings (DET), Meyers Leonard (POR), Al Farouq Aminu (POR), Future DET 1st, 2019 POR First, 2 Future 2nds

DET Gets: Gerald Henderson (POR), Mason Plumlee (POR), Jarett Jack (BKN)

POR Gets: Brook Lopez (BKN), Thad Young (BKN), Steve Blake (DET)

Brooklyn needs future assets and young pieces. Sheds $30M off their cap for next year.

DET upgrades their bench adding 3 rotation players.

Lillard / McCollum
Mccollum / Crabbe
Crabbe / Harkless
Vonleh / Young
Lopez / Davis
