[Kblaze8855]

That pick plus Simons and Nurkic is 41 million so they can match almost any salary.

[Wardell Curry]

Won't change anything either way.

[Kblaze8855]

Random names….


Beal
Gobert
George
Lavine
Siakam(who wants 250-290 million)
KAT
Ayton


They could likely get any of them other than maybe George if the clippers wanna finish the experiment.

[Im Still Ballin]

Karl-Anthony Towns!

[Real Men Wear Green]

If they trade the pick for Gobert Dame may just demand a trade.

[FultzNationRISE]

Random names….


Beal
Gobert
George
Lavine
Siakam(who wants 250-290 million)
KAT
Ayton

Nobody on that list makes them anything close to a contender.

[ImKobe]

I can't find better options than Siakam or Towns in terms of realistic trades. Embiid could force his way out, but it would take more than the 3rd pick to get that done.

[Kblaze8855]

Nobody on that list makes them anything close to a contender.

This roster won 53 games and went to the conference finals. That’s probably enough to make him feel like he isn’t wasting his life. Most of these trades gets at least similar talent.

[highwhey]

send ayton and a 1st round

[Patrick Chewing]

Knicks should jump all over that since they don't have a pick this year and all their future draft picks are lottery protected I believe. So the Knicks might not have a draft pick this high for a while.


Randle
Quickley
and a Future 1st

[highwhey]

swap for ayton and nurkic +3rd pick works out great bc the suns need a big if they get rid of ayton and the 3rd gets them a good point guard.

are you insane? so basically suns get a nr. 3 pick for free?

[PeroAntic]

Lillard and Lavine might be the new splash brothers... thats crazy firepower between them

please control your emotions when talking to me, or i'll control them for you.

it's not a stretch of a proposition. the valuation of ayton is ultimately determined by their front office. do they think he had a bad season because he was playing for a coach that did not like him? it's public knowledge now that monty and ayton were at odds. and monty lost the locker room since last year. so, do the blazers think he can get back to form under the right coaching/leadership? if they convince themselves of that, then all of a sudden he's a 20/10 guy that damian can really use. and a future 1st makes the offer more enticing, plus he's locked up for a couple more years.

[Manny98]

I'm hearing from my sources that they're interested in swapping the third pick for Mikal Bridges so keep tabs on that

Only reason they made the conference finals is due to the draw. They got swept by a team that missing some of its best players, the Rockets and Warriors were the clear cut best two teams in the league that season.

If you are Memphis...what about moving Ja for the 3 and then seeing if someone will take a buyout(Beal)

Siakam

[ralph_i_el]

Beal :pimp:

[90sgoat]

Dame is not going to win a ring as the man, so this thing is just dumb.

Dame should ask to go to Lakers and then Blazers should get Reeves, Rui and picks in return.

[SouBeachTalents]

Short of getting Jokic or Giannis there's no move the Blazers could make with that pick that's going to turn them into a contender. Add PG that's a 2nd round exit at best.
