    I would be happy with that one. Likely have to move Harkless or Aminu though.

    Fuck it why not

    CJ, Collins, and Layman for Kawhi and Gasol. Throw in Simons if need be.

    Lebron opts in and says give me Portland.

    We give Cleveland a couple firsts, Harkless, Aminu, and Meyers, whatever. Take Korver off their hands with the Crabbe TPE

    Bang bang.

    Dame, Kawhi, and Lebron with Nurk is a lot better than anything the lakers could come up with.

    Dame
    Ellington (MLE)
    Kawhi
    Lebron
    Nurkic

    I don't think we will be, but would to play facilitator to grab an asset. Like if SA wants to shed salary, and we take green into tpe, and get an asset for using our space.

    Okay, I think I have a good one here. Curious to get feedback:

    http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ycjkvt22

    Portland Receives: LMA; Otto Porter
    Washington Receives: Kawhi Leonard
    Spurs Receive: Collins, CJ, Turner (possibly through in a rookie or future first)

    Works under the cap, Portland gets help in positions of greatest need; Washington gets the best player; Spurs get some young talent and a leader.

    Dame, WBIV,
    ?, WBIV, Trent, Simons
    Porter, Aminu
    LMA, Aminu,
    Nurkic, Davis

    Here’s one (that will never happen)

    CJ/Laker pick(s) to San Antonio
    Derozan/Danny Green to Portland
    Kawhi/Pau to LA
    Ingram/Evan Turner to Toronto

    We clear some space and bet that Green/Derozan could be > CJ/Turner. In a perfect world we get Cousins with our TPE and a first, don’t match Nurk, and try out a new big 3 of Dames buddies. Lillard/Derozan/Harkless/Collins/Cousins looks nasty to me.

    Toronto bets on the future.

    San Antonio may deliver relevance to LA or it could fleece them and hope that Lebron either stays in Cleveland OR make its own pitch to Lebron (win one with pop, CJ, Lamarcus, etc), as it would clear some cap space.

    Lakers obvuously go all in on Kawhi/George or Lebron.

    TT is SOFT.

    He's never been a good rebounder without a big C.

    That soft MF made Pau Gasol play C...

    He'd SUCK next to Collins.

    And why the FUCK would we trade for his SOFT ASS when we already have his tougher, better shooting, better defending replacement?

    Collins will be better than TT.

    yeah he would suck next to Collins but not next to Nurk. Having said that I do not believe he would be happy once he was back. He is not one to admit making a mistake. It would not take long for the attitude to return, let alone dealing with the local media again.
    An unhappy LMA is not a good recipe for success. Collins shows a lot more enthusiasm on and off the court. He acts like he wants to be here and that usually translates to better on court chemistry.

    I agree. I never cared much for LA even before he left our team in a bad way. He was basically a primadonna only wanting to play PF without putting much effort on defense. Let him have the Spurs, with or without Kawhi. Let him sink with that ship.

    I'd rather have Collins learn the game without LA on our team. He'll be a better player without him.

    Yes, stats are the tell all in sports. If a stat justify something, then there you have it. I heard GM's don't even scout players anymore. They just look up stats and build a team around them good ole stats. Tell me about those per 48 minute stats as well. I love stats.

    You have got to be kidding? That's like saying the final score of a game is just a meaningless statistic. I would agree some single statistics can be misused to make a point, but we are talking every defensive metric available, and the eye test, for those four.

    If you really don't believe those four are good defenders then how do you justify the Blazers defensive standing at the end of the season?

    Faried and a 1st for TPE.

    Then Denver 1st, our 1st, unprotected, Harkless, Leonard, Swanigan, Faried to Minnesota for Butler and Dieng.

    Works out to Harkless, Faried, Swanigan, and 2 1sts for Butler, and then a Leonard for Dieng swap(Saves them 26 million dollars on Dieng's deal).
