There seems to be a feeling on the trade board that Cj might be available for expiring a only. Would you guys trade for him. Dragic Boucher birch could get the deal done.

Wow New Orleans offered a lot!

Pelicans last offer to Blazers was: Satoransky, Hart, Hayes, Murphy, 2022 Lakers FRP, 2023 Pelicans FRP for C.J. McCollum, Per NBA Source.

Blazers want more assets but didn’t specify who.

Good god the Blazers said no to that? They should've taken that and ran

[Asif16]

Harrison Barnes is def an intriguing target. Salary wise it works with Dragic's expiring (Plus Flynn).

He's def got the ball-handling ability. Solid shooter. Fits the Raptors heigh criteria.

Provides similar skillet to what we have already. Long 3+d plus defender. A young vet now as well. Can score a bit. Provides redundancy if any of our 3 long guys miss any time. Plus allows masai to double down and see if the long lineup can still work in the playoffs.

6'8 guys with long wingspan and athletic as well. Has improved decision making and shot making since leaving the warriors. Very intriguing lineup either off the bench or as a starter.

Exactly. Only problem is he's not overly young. GOnna turn 30 sometime this year. So, he's def not going to be someone who's with this core long term.

But his Salary is def tradeable if things don't work out. So idk

Blazers are like wanting to start over but only with McCollum and Lillard still there. it doesn't make sense at all.

I have a hard time believing that's true. They could always just keep Hart in a great 3 guard rotation with Dame and Simons and move the picks with Sato and Bledsoe's expiring for a forward, even a star if they trade their own first. Even if they're focused on keeping Dame and competing from 2023-25 until his deal ends and he's 35, this trade helps them do that. Hart as the starting 2 (allowing Simons to be the best 6th man in the league) and Hayes backing up Nurkic probably have as much on-court value as McCollum when you have Lillard and Simons creating a ton already.

Saw this on WSHH, and thought the same thing. He's been acting like a fool recently, and I'm sure that our FO is aware of it.

I don’t think that’s a problem though. His age is only a concern if you’re rebuilding and sucking and he takes away touches for young players that just got drafted.

I think the Raptors are way past the rebuilding stage and are in need of players that can create for themselves and others from the bench.

No thanks from POR. Not interested in the TOR offer.

Can’t believe NOH made that offer, probably leaked from to drive up his value going somewhere else.

Have no problem trading CJ but actually want some value which TOR offer does not provide.

Completely understandable.

Houston reportedly has several 1st round pick offers for Gordon, but with salary attached. (maybe New York with Fournier?)

Doubt it matters much to Houston. They’re trying to rebuild and don’t need the capspace

Aside from the atrocious shot selection last night;
Why are Hornets fans so down on PJ Washington?

They seem to include the guy in every trade proposal.

I would want him traded too, after seeing him get so publicly "outplayed" like this.... Just can't win with him

It’s not a problem at all. If he looks to be a good fit then we should be able to re-sign him at a lower salary than the $20M he will make next year because of his age. If the fit doesn’t work out then he’s a big expiring next season as well as the kind of guy a contender would want to pick up.

Maybe this is part of the plan. Act like a fool to lower the trade cost for his new team.

I have a very uncomfortable feeling that we will end up with a Dragic + Min Salary Guy (Svi?) for Gallo deal which almost forces us to exercise Gallo's option for next season.
