I have no idea what the Pelicans FO is doing.

I am down with that

I’m assuming Sato is also in this deal for salary balancing. Curious to see what “draft compensation” looks like.

It’s crazy to see the end of the CJ-Dame era.

Portland waited too long to end Dame-McCollum era. Likey Sold low as hell here .

Hart/Sato/Temple/picks for McCollum/minimum filler?
Is Nurkic next?
Where does Beal go now?

getting value for CJ is already a win

As one of the board's few resident CJ...non-haters? :lol:

I'm very curious to see how this turns out. I think a number of us had suggested the Pels as a possible destination so this should be interesting.

Think we should wait to see more before having opinions lol if they get off a bunch of money which is likely, and a real frp, blazers did well

They desperately need a Guard that can score and shoot off the dribble. Its a GREAT fit.

As with any trade, I will withhold judgment until I see the actual compensation.

Maybe Portland is collecting assets for a bigger move?

Don't even need to know what the picks are - good job Portland.

trading Lillard for assets is more likely

But i wonder if they need one at this trade deadline, on CJ’s contract?

You know the team. Is it possible Zion is pressuring them to add more talent now?

gonna need to wait a bit

Was hoping Pels would take Rozier instead, I would have done that deal. I'm so over Rozier but he would be fine for the Pelicans

Finally nailed one

. I like the move a lot for both teams. People are sleeping on CJ. This is more than a grasp at a playoff spot for NOLA. CJ, Ingram, and a healthy Zion is a playoff team next season.

Still read this kind of thing as a clear shot at Shams. This week, on "Pundit Wars"!

Pels/Blazers trade: your take?
