Avdija to Memphis 

Post#1 » by esvl » Sat Jun 14, 2025 1:39 am

Based on rumours around.

Avdija

for

Clarke
GG Jackson
2 future firsts (top-10 protected)

Memphis get their big wing defender.

Portland get 3 1st rounders for a future flexibility given they are not ready now.

I don't see Portland trading Avdija for protected picks. They'd have to really, really believe in GG Jackson.

Maybe...

Deni
for
filler
Jackson
Wells
2028 1st (unprotected)

Or more likely some 3-team deal of Bane + asset for Deni + something.

OP is not close for Deni. What rumors are you referring to?

They probably think since Sharpe + #11 = 2 Top 10 protected 1sts, this is close.

Yeh, even Deni is worth more than this.

Yes but if you are the fans and management , you will believe my statement to be true hence unlikely to actually trade an actual contributor.

There’s probably around 4-5 decent regular season contributor for sure. Just need find 3-4 more.

It’s simply not anywhere near a serious offer with top 10 protecting those picks. They’d have to assign blue chip value on GG, and he just doesn’t have that. Not right now.

Why would they trade him for protected picks one year after trading a lottery pick for him? That makes absolutely no sense. :lol:

Those rumors don't have any substance of truth.
Makes no sense for Portland...

There's a garbage report circulating.
It looks like its a fake AI generated report

POR is not taking a lesser package than we gave up for him when he exceeded expectations.

I would add Deni to 11 (and maybe more) for #2.

OP is a pointless step backwards.

Start by looking at what we traded for him and assume we want more. The most likely path would be something that gives a swing at a legit star, so highly coveted 1sts, not highly protected 1sts.
