    I laughed so hard at him bricking the shot. I replayed it about five straight times lol.

    The cost is the question. Both in a trade and salary.
    I would really love to see him do that in an actual game. Too bad those seats are in the way or he could have kept on shuffling.

    Yup. Same here! Too bad it didn't bounce right back at him, but that was good enough.

    (I don't even know if that was actually them....)

    There have been rumours about this for at least 2 years. Like in every deadline they say they try to move him.

    Some rumors are falae. Apparently we wanted to trade Nurkic for Marc Gasol and DeAndre Jordan.

    Aldridge isn’t low reward. It is good reward.

    Really, you think so? I'd assume precisely the opposite.

    I was thinking shorter contract, SA has no real incentive to let him go. Maybe I'm off.

    If they are out of playoff picture by January, which may be the case with how strong the NBA is, then they have to make a deal. No point keeping an old expiring player if you aren’t going to make a run at the playoffs basketball.

    he's not an expiring contract...he has a player option for 2020-21

    and that's why I don't think he'd be a Blazer target. I think Portland values their expiring contracts so they can break the repeater-tax track they are on. Aldridge at 24M, or whatever he'd re-sign for would just about guarantee the Blazers spend their 3rd straight year as a tax team with the repeater penalty being a big threat in Dame's 1st year of the super-max

    I would trade CJ and start Ant. That's where we're heading anyway.

    Sir, you are not alone in this opinion. It doesn't have to be Blake, but turning CJ into a vet or a high lotto pick makes a lot of sense.

    Poor Damian Lillard. He used to look up to Chris Paul and Russell Westbrick. Then, he found out that they are classless bitches.
