    The premise is simple. Offer up a trade that may be beneficial for both teams and ask would you? Would they? People can weigh in on if it's a good deal for both parties....

    Could be a fun game given the blazers current situation.

    I'll start. I think Portland has too many potential bigs. We need an all star level wing to help with the scoring. As much as I'd hate to do it because he is my second favorite blazer now, he probably has good trade value in the league right now. Toronto just lost Lou Williams and have been rumored to be shopping derozan because they don't want to pay him next year.

    Would you deal meyers Leonard and cj McCollum for an extended demar derozan? Would they?

    I'm not so sure Toronto would be interested. On one hand, Leonard and CJ are hardly risk free. OTOH, if they do play well they will soon be seeking big pay increases.

    Stop overvaluing our players. CJ and Leonard are fine young prospects, but Derozan is an all star caliber player that would give Dame some help. The Raptors have a hole at PF right now, Leonard and JV would be a good fit. CJ could take the Lou Will role and they could start Ross at SG.

    If you don't like Derozan, what kind of package do you think CJ and Leonard could net us?

    Cj and Kaman maybe.

    I'm all aboard the Legend boat (was going to say train but then rethought it). Those dirty northerners can't have him.

    If we sit on some cap and just base hit these small signings, I suspect Boogie may force his way out of SacTown. We could have the pieces and cap space to make it work later in the season.

    even if boogie has no intention of playing in Portland, we should be able to pick up some attractive/valuable assets by facilitating the moves utilizing our cap space

    Unfortunately I don't see CJ and Kaman getting you much from anyone that fits our team right now. Maybe Rudy Gay, but I don't want him as the guy to pair with Lillard without Lamarcus.

    Other than that, any other player that realistically might be moved for that package is old, or young and better than CJ. So you'd rather just keep CJ.

    But I'd rather have an all-star level player to pair with Lillard now

    I like Derozan. I would have to think about it...Probably replace Myers with someone else.

    I think this thread is great proof that Portland fans overvalue their own players

    No way Derosan is worth two valuable guys on rookie contracts. Doesn't make a lick of sense. I don't see it happening. I do see possibilites for trades but not that one. We just lost a scoring threat PF and we have another one ready to step up in Meyers ...we need a 2 guard 3 pt shooter. Volume scorer in my opinion CJ is moveable, Crabbe is moveable, Vonleh is moveable Kaman is moveable but to me..Leonard is not going anywhere

    If they don't move him, I think need to put Meyers in the starting lineup and let him continue to develop. He may turn into Marc Gasol for us.
