    This is just so underwhelming. I like Prince, but he has a PER of 11. Not really much of a needle mover.

    Everywhere I turn we're talking about Aaron-fucking-Gordon! He's fool's gold, fools! Let me say two things:

    1. No fucking way Olshey trades CJ.
    2. No fucking way.

    Not a needle mover? Right up Olshey's valet driven alley.

    Man I didn’t think Dedmon and Meyers were this close to each other. Makes me even more confident there’s a deal to be made between the two teams.

    I highly doubt we’re going to get a needle mover for a non lottery pick, Meyers Leonard, and some unproven yutes.

    Scalma, you don't think we can get Anthony Davis for that package?

    Anyone think Dallas would do something like this:

    Turner
    Simons
    Swanigan
    1st Round Pick

    FOR

    Wes Matthews
    Dennis Smith

    I like it, but I don’t think Cuban would want that Turner contract, even with a pick attached.

    I think they would bite on that. They want a 1st rounder for Smith so essentially were giving our 1st round pikc this year and Swanigan for them to take on Evans contract for 1 year since Mathews and Turners contract are very similar so this year the money evens out.

    I think getting Matthews would be a shot in the arm and give us an edge we haven't had since he was here.

    No chance. They aren't taking on guaranteed salary next year without something big going back. It's still my favorite CJ trade though...

    CJ and ET for Wes, Barnes, and DSJ

    I'm working on a pretty realistic hypothetical domino trade in which we acquire a bunch of rookie contract players that could potentially have a breakout. So far my list of possibly available players is (not all of these guys would be involved):

    Luke Kennard
    Bobby Portis
    Taurean Prince
    Thon Maker
    Dennis Smith Jr
    Frank Ntilikina

    What other "attainable" players like that am I forgetting?

    I think Dallas buys him out eventually. His contract will be hard to move since I don’t believe Dallas is interested in adding salary in exchange for a pick. he would be my number one target if that happens. System familiarity would be huge considering where we are in the season.

    Dallas got a DPE for Barea, valued at $1.85M.

    Baldwin is playing for their g league team. He makes $1.5M and would fit into that DPE. Could be a way for Portland to open a roster spot without taking a cap hit.

    I wouldn't think so. I think it takes a 1st to move turner, so let's pretend it's that for wes. Then you have Simon's and swanigan for smith. That seems underwhelming

    No chance. They'll want cap space next year, and they'll want more back for DSJ. They dont fulfill either.
