    Portland inquiring about 3 for George is why I have no faith in this organization to get this right. All to appease Dame….asinine

    If we keep pick and draft Miller, then i would love to trade up somehow and grab Lively.

    If we keep the pick and Dame asks out we should be able to get Claxton from Brooklyn

    Let's trade the #3 pick in a stacked draft for a 33 year old guy who hasn't been healthy in forever.

    just trying to follow the logic in here...So, if the Clippers said no to a trade, we blame Joe? It's a horrible trade for Portland, and I can't imagine them offering it but want to understand the blame Joe part.

    Nobody knows what details are here. All speculation. People believe what they want to believe

    Money is POURING in on Scoot at #2 this morning. The odds for Miller to go #2 have dropped significantly.

    Dame and Miller would fit nicely together. I'm not a fan of Miller the person but there's no denying his talent. I think his floor is Big Shot Bob. Robert Horry is the floor IMO

    Maybe did that because he'd rather play in Portland with Dame.

    Edit: or he's just an idiot

    It's a really stupid idea from us in the first place. That LA rejected is irrelevant
