    I heard it. Made it sound like it’s got a good shot to happen. Said it could be a different looking roster after the deadline.

    It's already a very different roster

    I just don’t see any straight up trade with the Knicks that wouldn’t include Randle. If Fournier is the biggest contract coming back, New York would have to add other players, and we already have a full roster. Not saying it couldn’t be done but it would require multiple other moves and we don’t need Fournier to begin with. So it’s either Randle, or a three way imo.

    We can include minimum salary players in the deal, Snell, Zeller, McLemore. And their $ doesn't matter for matching purposes, because any team can take back minimum salary guys

    like I said , it still doesn’t make nearly as much sense as Randle.

    CJ is a different beast from Powell and Roco. Until he's actually dealt, I just assume he'll never leave. I half expect him to take over Michael Holton's job as soon as he's done playing.

    CJ's gonna be on a national show the moment he's retired, not a podunk Blazers Broadcast. But his connections to the area aren't going to change just cuz he's traded to NY or NO. That 300 acre farm he just bought will keep him in the PNW for most of his life, I would presume.

    The Blazers spent the first half of the year questioning effort, energy, and buy-in.

    I can't think of a worse solution to that than Julius Randle. That guy is having issues this season because he stopped playing defense for one of the best defensive coaches in the leage.

    Avoid players like that at ALL costs.

    I'm there too. Randle is an absolute no.

    And I have read that he's not doing what the coach wants on offense either, big risk on a five year contract.

    Thibs has had issues with multiple players, maybe he’s the problem.
