Re: Twitter Trade Rumor Roundup
Nassir and #23 for who? I'm ready to unload Nassir, but we were able to acquire Grant for a late 1st last year. Why blow the 1st pick on a scrub?

I would hope to God we would not trade a first for any of those players.

Sounded like Nassir OR 23, just as those being pieces in a smaller secondary deal they were discussing with Cleveland.

Re: Twitter Trade Rumor Roundup
Porzingis to Boston has fallen apart. Should the Blazers get back in the Zingis game?
If they’re keeping the pick and Zion isn’t on the table, maybe a deal of Porzingis, Wright and #30 for Simons and Nurkic?
The Blazers move 23 and 30 to NY for Toppin (fits into the Blazers TPE from Payton).
Dame/Scoot
Sharpe/Wright
Thybulle/Little
Grant/Toppin
KP/Eubanks

I'm not a huge Porzingis fan but he did have a good season last year. I'm up for Ant and #23 for him.
Heck....Washington was willing to trade him for just Brogdan and the Clips pick. This might be an even better deal for them.
Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone

You’ll need more salary than Simons to match KP.

Like this a lot. But if CLE likes Little I would try and swap him for Wade. I love what that guy brings. Then try to use the picks and TPE for a bench swing man.

You're better than this.
OG for #23 + Little? Who says no?
Blazers get a defensive stopper.
Raptors get younger. Get a draft pick in a deep draft and a young wing.
Because love can burn like a cigarette.
And leave you left with nothing.

I was also told that someone in the Suns organization has a big mouth and that a lot of Suns info will be circulating.
Kuzma is a FA, so only way that could work is a S&T. A Simons for Kuz S&T would be awesome, would give the Wizards at least one young building piece on a good contract to start with.
Kuzma is terrible. Stay away.
Wright is the correct target from Washington

I could see the blazers getting Wright with their tpe and some 2nd rounders

If this ends up being true, it’ll mark the first domino dropping in Lillard being gone by the deadline.

I'm not convinced Lillard will ask for a trade. I think he really likes and values the Blazers organization and city. I think things would have to get pretty bad for him to ask for a trade.

That may be true…but Lillard doesn’t have to be the impetus behind the trade.

Porzingis to BOS, Smart to MEM and Tyus Jones to WAS is a done deal.

I expect that I won't hear anything until after the draft, but if I do I'll post what I hear.

That's too bad that Dame, likely knowing exactly what we intend to do with the pick, won't make his decision before the draft, and waits until just after??? Why? Feels like it would be a courtesy on Dame's part to not wait until after the draft... IF he is decides to ask for a move.
I still think that leaving the comforts of Portland, and uproating his family to a truely BIG CITY, with real media, etc., may prove to be too much weight for Dame to want to leave. Hope I'm wrong, but on a human level, after such a long career here I kinda doubt he leaves regardless, even if we do draft a 6'2 PG... which I happen to think would not be the smartest of moves with the #3.

Re: Twitter Trade Rumor Roundup
Betting against Jordan has a high success rate in the draft. I think Scoot will be good
Return to Portland Trail Blazers
