    The bigger question would be, does Nurkic want to go to the Wiz? If he doesn't then it won't happen

    @BonesJones....

    2 players I'm sick of seeing you try to add to the roster:

    George sorry ass Hill

    Tobias Ugly ass Harris

    Just stop with these two and we'll be cool.

    :cheers:

    George Hill has a 20 piece tonight. You underrated him.

    What the hell is wrong with Tobias Harris? Dudes a great player...

    While this roster is pretty intriguing, I love the draft too much to give up all that future draft capital, but that is just me. I think there are too many moving parts in this trade.

    Porter and Harris are young. We gotta trade future picks to upgrade our team. This starting lineup would be a top 5 starting unit in the league.

    I don't think getting rid of Nurk does that.

    I liked your trade above. Literally.

    My post was an obvious joke. But some truth was said in jest.

    Whether or not I agree with them, at least your trade scenarios are logical and thought out.

    I'm just not a fan of George Hill. He's got a soft demeanor that I can't really fuck with. And Tobias Harris doesn't really play D.

    Tobias is an average defender. Not bad, not good. What he brings us offensively would be game-changing.

    I said it was an intriguing roster...

    I just don't like trading future picks (unless it's for something really, really good which this is close but not both 2019 and 2021 and all those 2nds). The Spurs never really trade future picks and always seem to find ways to upgrade their roster.

    That's because of Pop. We don't have Pop.

    2019 is a weak draft. I don't want to keep that pick.

    I’m not a fan of trading future picks, just because of the uncertainty. What if it’s a lotto pick? This team as constructed is one injury away from just that. You ready to risk that for Tobias Harris? I’m not. I’m ok with trading our current pick though, and I’d be surprised if we didn’t trade it.

    Just my philosophy, I don't really care how weak the draft is projected as there are always diamonds in the rough. I don't mind seeing your ideas though.

    I just think that core is a potential contender. Losing two first round picks for Porter and Harris would be worth it IMO. Drafts are good if you can't add big time players via trade, as that's the only other way to add them (for us).

    But it's too random in the draft.. getting some established that can help right now should be Plan A. And a guy drafted out of the lottery in 2021 likely wouldnt help us until after Dames prime.

    I don’t know how anyone can judge the 2019 class before any of the freshman have even played a game yet, but I do know next years class includes Doumbouya who I think will be a superstar in the nba.

    Thats why you protect them...?

    Doumbaya will be a top 10 pick. Protect it for the top 10... You don't trade unprotected picks.

    You guys wanna sit around and theorize trades for washed up bench peices, this team isn’t a couple bench peices away. They need a legit megadeal. Believe it or not Dray has had a down year this season and how do you expect GS to pay Curry/Durant/Dray/and Klay? It’s not happening, the best way to get value for one is to trade one before their free agent year. Dray and Klay aren’t taking hometown discounts.

    There is 100% zero possibility of Lebron ever wearing a Blazer uniform. ZERO

    Lmao.

    Stop.

    They're not splitting up their big 4 this off-season. Theorize in the realistic.

    Thanks that was exactly my point. Your trade proposal has less chance of happening than a 100% zero thing.
