    So he'd forget how to shoot, dribble, and defend at the level he does?

    Don't worry. Neil's going to get rid of Turner and his contract in the Nurkic for DJ trade.

    I think Pop retires if that is the direction they go in.

    Adding CJ to the Kawhi less Spurs wouldn't be a rebuild. They are doing just fine without him, adding a 20+ point scorer to the starting lineup would be a blessing for the Spurs. Defense is another story.

    This. They are 3rd in the West without Kawhi playing. Danny Green is having a down season. Insert C.J. into that lineup and they have a second 20 ppg scorer.

    As far as defense goes, remember, Pop turned Patty Mils into a decent defender.

    No those things he could still do. That's why I said I would still trade for him.
    But you have to admit Pop's system makes players who are willing to run it......look really good.. More open shots, better team D.

    Spurs might want Nurkic instead.

    I can't even bring myself to ponder this.

    It's basically self-harm because you know this wont happen.

    Even if Kawhi is traded, it won't ever be to Portland. That kind of shit happens to Portland, not FOR Portland.

    Honestly don't know if we'd have enough. Any trade would include CJ. Plus it's a Conference
    Rival and Kawhi would really have to be solid with Portland's future.

    Good point to consider. We would lose our 2 Bosnian posters. That decides it for me.
