Portland/Cleveland 

Post#1 » by bgrep14 » Sat Jul 22, 2017 12:26 am

Cle: Kyrie Irving, Channing Frye, Cedi Osman, and Felder

Portland: Lillard and Swanigan

Cleveland gets a similar pg to replace Irving

Portland get a similar pg on a cheaper contract and an up and coming SF

Lillard loves Portland and Portland loves Lillard. They aren't trading Lillard unless it is an overpay. Furthermore with Kyrie apparently requesting a trade you won't get full value for him. Also Cedi Osman is less a plus when you have Portland sending out a young and upcoming pf in Swanigan

CJ makes more sense for Cleveland than Lillard. Problem is for Portland a Kyrie/Dame backcourt doesn't work. I just can't imagine a Portland-Clev scenario that makes sense.

Dame makes much more sense than CJ. Cleveland already has 3 sgs

Precisely. I don't see Kyrie committing to Portland like Lillard has.
