    Agreed....very unlikely. It's why I started with 'If'.

    As of now, they don't want to be hampered with the size/length of his contract. So, very unlikely.

    Clippers save $30M in the deal according to Bobby Marks.

    The Clipper deal totally fucked us. We couldn't even get a first back. I'm all for shooting your shots, but this was so hasty.

    Do you think the Knicks would be open to it though?

    Haha you’re kidding. Thad young got a 1st round pick? Kill me. No way we couldn’t have gotten something better for RoCo

    I believe the Knicks would be more open to that than Portland is. But they don't want to just give him away for an ending contract either.

    Counterpoint: the only way we ever had a chance to acquire Simmons was by trading Dame, and we still have that chance if we want it.

    Spurs gave up detroits second, so it’s more like moving up 15 or so spots. But still. What the fuck. We dumped RoCo for nothing

    Good points. I would trade Nurk if we could get a first round pick or a player such as Grant back. But I wouldn't trade him for second rounders or another expiring contract.

    Nothing personal. I hope the best for Nurk. Just on a different team.
