    CLUTCH City doesn't mean much when Dame is stuck on AUTOMATIC!

    I just don't understand why they're being filmed and why they'd choose to upload it. Were they watching it together over the internet with friends who are Blazer fans?

    Frankly I'd rather facilitate Carmelo to Cleveland and take back Love.

    Never thought I'd say that.

    Don't want to facilitate anything for anyone. Don't want Love either when we have a much younger and much cheaper version already. If we're paying for Melo, I want Melo.

    I'd go with this

    Dame/CJ/Turner/Anthony/Nurk

    With Swanigan and Collins in the fold I would offer Harkless, Vonleh and whatever filler needed.

    Agreed. Love is a better player at this point of their careers

    Screw it make the trade for Carmelo who's good friends with Lebron and then turn around and trade CJ/Collins/Swanigan draft pick for Lebron and you've got your super team. ;) obviously kidding

    I don't think Melo can play the 3 anymore...he'll probably have to play the 4

    Seriously--being a Yankees fan is exactly the same as being a Lakers fan.

    Don't want this trade. Melo is not a good fit.
    I realize that it's tempting to bring a star SF next to Dame, CJ, Caleb and Nurkic and I think at least 2-3 of Aminu, Turner, Davis, Harkless and Meyers should be used as trade bait and that Carmello is the kind of player that we could actually get for such package but I don't want him, he doesn't fit the colture, he doesn't play enough defense, he wouldn't get us over the hump, he would take us downhill

    I would not mind seeing this as our 10 man rotation. This is based on both salary and potential/player development

    Dame-Napier
    CJ-ET
    Harkless-Jake
    Vonleh-Collins
    Nurk-Swanigan

    That leaves Crabbe, Aminu, Davis, and Leonard as possible salary dumps/trades. (42 million)
    I go back and forth on Crabbe vs ET, (as they both can play SG or SF) but I really think ET brings a toughness and ball handling skills this team needs more. Not sure we can really afford both.

    I would want either Turner or Crabbe to be used only as SFs and would try to bring a 3rd combo guard to rotate with Dame and CJ or at least give Napier more PT in this role.
    Swanigan IMO is a PF and I think he would very soon become a starter with Collins as the backup Center.
    Davis should go, Aminu should go, at least one of Turner/Crabbe/Harkless should go. Meyers I would consider keeping, using him in a more specific stretch-4 role but if another team wants him I'd let him go as well.
    If all these players on the way out get us Carmello I wouldn't say it isn't tempting, but there's a reason he's available and I'm not sure he would do us good. I would rather use this players to get another combo-guard who's good enough to get minutes
