    Here's the thing; if Butler is pushing for Cleveland and Boston pursues Porzingis (as they should) it could leave Portland in a pretty good position to land George.

    This. This is the one circumstance I've seen where I'd be happy to get Melo: If he comes with Porzingis attached.

    If only we'd tanked, one of those picks would have more value. :pokecrap: :rolleyes2:

    (I'm not good at trolling. Does that qualify? ;) )

    For Evan Turner? Crabbe?? HELL FUCKING YES.

    Now for CJ or Dame? If they were saying they were leaving in FA I'd trade BOTH of them rather than get nothing in return for them.

    We should have Traded TT's punk ass...

    So Yes... Get your mind right. Our picks are valuable in this draft.

    Edit:

    I think I may have read your post wrong.

    Do you really only want George for a year?

    Why? What benefit is that then trying to draft a star with one of our picks?

    If Boston goes after Porzingas now Hayward might be obtainable.....with everyone trying to sign George, Butler and Porzingas...he'd be a great pickup for the Blazers.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You misread his question. He's asking if you'd do this deal:

    Portland Gets: 3 mid-to-late first rounds, Crabbe OR Turner
    Portland Trades: McCollum OR Lillard

    Obviously, assuming Crabbe/Turner were on other teams and could be traded to Portland. He's basically asking if you'd trade one of Portland's stars for three mid-to-late first rounders and roster garbage, as people often suggest Portland use to get other teams' best players.

    It doesn't matter how much money Allen has. Portland doesn't have the cap space.

    Because trying to win next year is better than the 1:1000 chance that one of our picks turns into Giannis (for example). Our window closes when Lillard's contract ends. And then we're back to a rebuild

    If Golden State didn't exist then I may see your point. Problem is they do, so this seems foolish to me instead of trying to find a gem.

    I don't think they do this, even with the 3 picks thrown in:

    But they'd have to consider this. with the 3 picks:

    upload_2017-6-20_9-36-15.png

    I wouldn't say "not remotely"
