CJ to NO for Hart and picks! more details coming. YES!!!!!!!

Trading CJ happens 2-3 years too late imo.

[GOBlazers]

CJ traded to the Pels!

I would have moved him over last summer when the team got bounced by the injured Nuggets in Round 1.

Anyone know anything about those other players aside from Hart? Those other players look like letters thrown into a ball and picked out at random… not sure they’re real humans.

I am hearing:
Nurkic + Smith + Mclemore
4
Plumlee + Kai Jones + Nick Richard's
+ a pick

Not gonna lie I might hate it depending on the pick. Nurkic and Ant have developed a Nurk/Dame type chemistry that Nurk/CJ never had.

I have also heard that the PDX interest in Bagley is legit and still strong.
The most recent deal I heard was Sortoransky and a 2nd for Bagley...
My buddy was spot on about NO other than the Nance aspect so who knows if he's blowing smoke or if it's legit.

Hearing from who? Remind me, was it you who had the rumor about CJ to NOL early?

Yeah, my good buddy works in the local teams front office. He hears a lot but he's also a big practical joker. He likes messing with me and my fandom.

I thought this wasn’t a thing anymore but I’d your info is right it drastically improves the trade IMO.

A contract that can be reduced that much + a lotto pick might have real value.

Might even bring back a guy as good as Norm.

I could be wrong, I'll admit. I'll wait for someone like wiz to weigh in.

I believe the decision on fully guaranteeing Bledsoe's contract must be done by 6/29 (before the draft, but after the lottery).

So we can trade Bledsoe in the off-season as a 4 million deal (before 6/29 only), or fully guarantee his contract and trade him as a 19 million deal at anytime during the off season. In both scenarios, his contract could be aggregated with others in a trade.

NBA suggests the draft is on the 23rd, so I think we're good in terms of doing it on the trade. So let's keep our fingers cross that maybe they'll do this for someone of value.

If we are aiming for cap space taking Plumlee in a Nurk deal would be silly.

If we could also pick up Bouknight - who seems frustrated with their coach and is buried - that would be pretty sweet.

I don't think players like Plumlee and Hart would be too hard to move as long as we aren't expecting anything more than expiring contracts.

Props to him and you regardless, he had that NOL trade pretty well pegged. Some minor details are different but it was pretty spot-on otherwise.

I think Hart is a keeper. He is an ideal 4th option, plays hard, plays D, nice passer and rebounder, passable 3. He literally does it all, we are going to love him.

Plumper on the other hand is a backup C who can’t shoot. I think it takes an asset to get rid of him.

I would try to reroute Plummer and the NO SRPs to another team for an EC. Get Kai, the pick and the cap savings if possible.

If another team values Plumlee at an "expiring or better" valuation, why not include that third team in this hypothetical Nurkić trade?

Maybe you and BlazersBroncos are right, it would cost us to move him.

If we could Bouknight and Kai from it though I would happily pay that cost.

I dont really like Keon, NAW or Bouknight and would much rather try for a future pick than get James. Kai is OK, wasnt too high on him in the draft and think like Keon he is just an athlete at this point. But at least he isnt a guard.

Hart is absolutely a keeper. He is part of our 3 guard lineup next year. And he'll surely start this season.
