    In other words you just want to trade our junk and get something good out of it?

    Yea. I can't do anything about the stupid contract he landed. Water under the bridge. But when he goes into that move he knows/believes he is going to make the shot, and he mostly does.
    I don't get that sense from anyone else except for Napier. I like the confidence.

    Haha !! Yea, I guess so. It's all relative. I'm mostly for NOT trading our good guys cuz good guys is what we need.
    Only reason to trade any of em IMO is if they can't play together. Team chemistry is tops.

    Yes I have been proposing the Hood deal myself, I just don't think all the other elements in that deal are necessary. We can get him by sending Napier and maybe a second (Hood's value is IMO higher). Harkless for Rubio in that deal is needless, as is Swanigan.

    Utah could get better deals though. I won't be surprised if they do something like Hood, Rubio and change for Walker and Lamb. They are also looking to trade Favors so maybe they will even package them both to get someone better, sometimes it is hard to figure out what deals are realistic though.

    Apparently interested in Leonard, they're rebuilding, would get two other young pieces who have shown promise in Harkless and Vonleh for old expiring veterans.

    And yet, I think @jlprk would approve that trade. He wanted to be a Jazz fan, but couldn't commit. This trade gets us 4 of their 7 top players. Problem solved!

    But mostly, I think he just likes to call Joe Ingles by the nickname he gave him: Jingles. This trade would give him the opportunity to type Jingles on a regular basis.

    I can’t see Dallas, or any other team, taking on Leonard and Harkless’ remaining $40m or whatever combined when they could sign someone like Hezonja for less in free agency. Olshey should get a statue if that happened.

    Wes played the best game I've seen him play last night as a Maverick....I think the cheers in Portland gave him a lot of energy

    Matthews’ numbers this season pretty much fall in line with the rest of his career. He’s shooting over 38% from outside on over 6 attempts a game. You’ve hinted at a regression this year but the numbers don’t really back it up. I just don’t see how he wouldn’t help us.

    I was a huge fan of his....after watching him play multiple games without scoring more than a few points I've changed that tune....don't know his stats but he's not playing very well most games ....I watch former Blazers when I get a chance...Nico...same thing
