Ideally trade one of them for PG of equal or greater value (but not second round picks, you don't want to trade a winning lottery ticket for less than three future lottery tickets as you may not win). Maybe POR would go for a Naz+Moore+JMcL+Brown for Borgdon. or Miller+KA+Brown+JMcL+Moore for Borgdon. I don't want to trade Conley and on the fence if we need to throw in both Naz + Miller. It depends on how well Milton and JMcL handles the backup PG role.


If you’re trading front court youth it better be for some PG youth in return that helps balance the roster.

I wouldn’t make any trades while our players are accruing value.

Sell high.

We’ve only just started!

I would love to trade for Brogdon. Good thinking.

Miller is the guy I'm, by far, most reluctant to trade. Kid has legit NBA starter potential.

Brogdon is overrated and plays horrible in playoffs no way I trade someone with a future like Miller for him straight up.

He isn't overrated. He may have had a bad playoff series I'll take your word for it. Did I suggest trading Miller for him? I didn't. TimberKat did. I supported the idea of trading for him, but not Miller. I would trade Garza or Minott for him.

If not Brogdon, any young PG besides Ty Ty Washington :D that is worth trading for? Maybe one of the Pacer PG? However, only Naz and Miller has trade value. Garza and Minott will need to prove that can actually be rotation player. It's like what is Austin Reaves worth in the beginning of last season vs at the end of the season.
