    They are over the cap somehow and the league has taken him off the Pacers roster, they can still sign him. I'd love to see Neil steal him away for a 2 guard slot in Portland

    Time to swoop with the cap space and steal some value from them

    Why? Ellis was dallas' best player last year and they couldn't wait to get rid of him.

    He's a pass for me

    Sounds like they will have no problem working it out.

    Too bad - I would love to steal Young from them for cap space.

    Would be entertaining, but would you want someone who would help us marginally improve like that to where we're not in a good lottery spot, but also likely not competitive enough for playoffs?

    If you want a 2 guard who can shoot from deep, he's the guy..44mil contract..well worth it in my view

    Lillard and Ellis would be the worst defensive backcourt of all time.

    As opposed to Lillard and CJ...I beg to differ

    KP was never good at math, he misses Tom Penn.

    Sadly, there seems to be a pattern with Lillard's name and shitty defensive back courts

    I'd be fine with a short term rental. The plusses are that he's exciting to watch and there'd be no worrying about him messing up "Operation Tank." The only downside is that it might look a little too obvious that were throwing the season.

    Why stunt cjs growth for a soon to be 30 year old headcase? He doesn't fit our timeline at all, and truthfully, I think cj could be just as good in a couple years if given the minutes and time to develop.

    It makes zero sense.

    If he was willing to play 2 minutes a game, I may consider it

    I don't like the idea of is signing Ellis, but I do like the idea of somehow acquiring an asset in exchange for helping the Pacers clear some cap space. I'll let Neil figure out the particulars.

    How about we just take PG off their hands for a mysterious second rounder?

    But CJ is already a Blazers. So that automatically makes him better.
