    I'd really be curious about which team(s) are offering picks for CJ. "Top part" of the draft could be any pick 15 or higher and no team has the cap-space to absorb CJ's contract right now. So the trade would have to be more than just the pick. I doubt any team was offering a top-10 pick, but maybe

    Sign me up for CJ to Cleveland for the #3 pick and absorbing Love’s contract. Not going to happen, but that would be nice.

    If don't know everyone those players you think should been drafted before Zach would been playing behind someone in his 1st two years. Plus without Zach against Denver 3 years ago we wouldn't made it to WCF that year if you forgot.

    Quick on 1080 just said it was a top 4 pick. Have to believe it was Cleveland if that's the case.

    I will drive up from Oakland right now to Portland and personally drag McCollum's ass to Cleveland if that is the case.

    Just listened:

    - Quick says Neil knows he's been conservative in the past regarding trades because of jettisoning too many picks or being left with a star on a one year deal (George).

    - Blazers don't have a good handle on CJ McCollum's value. Not good enough to get Simmons in a 1:1 swap (No fucking shit).

    - Team still believes this starting 5 is one of the best in the league (oh lord).

    What the fuck if you can get Evan Mobley you trade CJ

    Dame / Powell / Covington / Mobley / Nurk

    CJ for Suggs is an easy choice.

    Fucking Neil.

    According to the numbers CJ is 88th percentile on defense. According to the numbers Covington was the second worst defender in the starting lineup (79th).

    And yet, no one is buying it.

    It's a strange feeling knowing the next few weeks is likely going to determine the next 5+ years.

    Important point: Jody Allen is committed to paying the tax.

    Also: fan backlash regarding Chauncey for sure affected Dame in some way.

    After listening to this, I'm convinced Quick only got half truths. What he says doesn't really make sense.

    Fuck Suggs. We don’t need another guard.
    Mobley is a no brainer.

    Cunningham
    Green
    Mobley
    Suggs

    I both hate this off-season and am also irrationally excited about the next two weeks. Just know there is a high (or at least higher) likelihood of some big shit going down one way or another.

    The 3 guard dame cj norm lineup is a waste of time.

    I know a lot of people don't agree with me about this but if big shit doesn't happen before free agency Norm will walk and if we're left in that situation when Dame gets back from Japan, I think he'll ask out. He didn't sound patient, he said he wasn't committed, he said the team needs to show the same urgency in their efforts to get better that he does. There's no way that adds up to him having Olshey tell him that there just wasn't a way to make the roster better but wait for the trade deadline and Dame taking that excuse. What would be different at the trade deadline?

    So I know a lot of people think Dame will give the team until the beginning of 2022-23 but he didn't sound like waiting was on his mind at all.
