GSW - Portland - NOP

[Whole Truth]

I'm confused OP. You have the worse of GS/Bucks 28 going to NO's, which is from Portland. The GS 28 going to Portland as the asset for salary swap ?.

If Lauri is worth Moody, maybe Kuminga & 3-4 picks. BI should be able to land 3 picks with fillers allowing GS to keep their young depth.


GS trade - (Wiggins, Green, 26, 27 swap, 28) for (BI)

Portland trade - (Ayton) for (Wiggins, Hawkins)

Detroit trade - (Stewart, cap space) for (Green, GS 26)

NO's trade - (BI, Hawkins) for (Ayton, Stewart, GS 27 swap, GS 28)


GS aren't trading 3 picks for BI. The 26 pick is to drop Greens 20m to Detroit.

they should. He's an empty calorie C

The Ayton and Simons hate really needs to calm down. They are perfectly adequate stopgap players.

I don't know what an "adequate stopgap" player is. Is it anything like overpaid low-impact role players?

what really need to calm down is labeling realistic evaluations of players as "hate"

Ayton and Simons are both 20ppg scorers. Do both have flaws in their game? Sure. But if you consider them low impact, how do you view the rest of the roster?

Ayton averaged 16.7 ppg last year and has never averaged 20 ppg in any season of his career.

On a broader note, simply scoring 20 ppg does not mean someone is an impact player. Otherwise how do you explain Portland having 2 20 ppg players and still losing 60 games?

They definitely do have an impact... they make the number in the loss column go up
