Please take DFS AND Clint, horrible contracts
Put LaMelo on a winning team and watch how his reputation changes overnight. I would love to get him.
Jrue holiday isn’t on this list

good FO is smart not like 90% of fans in here who wanna trade everyone and fire everyone they know this year is a wash and they need to stay firm hold and wait for the full vision is on the court before making drastic changes losing 3 out of 5 starters is hard enough
Lamelo would unironically unlock the offense
So…we are going to do nothing and hope we magically stop losing games? The roster is flawed, the coaching is flawed, the offense is flawed…what’s the plan here?
I would drop n cry to my knees if we got rid of dfs clint tari he’ll Bari or Reed n got lamelo
Lamelo would be so sick on this team
Basically punting to next year when FVV is back, which is fine by me. No need to panic.
Iko stfu lol Garland and lamelo were never on the trade table anyway
Eason for Coby White ??? 😎
just make a move, doesnt need to be a flashy move, just a PG that can run the offense until FVV is back
We need someone like Ball who will gladly take those sorts of shots and won’t care.
Content with being mid
lol I’m trading Tari and DFS for Lamelo all day.
He would elevate this roster so much.
I will drive Tari to charlotte if we get lamelo.
Lol we gonna treat KD like we treated James! Nga we suck! Should have just kept Jalen and Dillon shit.
They dont have to make any moves. They need to hire an offensive coordinator. That’s it! Problem solved.
How did I get downvoted here but people stroking it at the thought of Melo now
I said yesterday that if FO doesn’t bring a PG, they will be signaling that the season will be another one of development, betting on FVV’s return next year.
We could go far this year, but it would depend on a leap of the young players. It’s a gamble, so lower your expectations for the season.
I have no problem with that, I think it’s good that the FO isn’t taking desperate measures, but as long as we can actually see progress this season.
They may not bring in any players, but it wouldn’t be difficult to bring in someone to help Ime offensively, and I think that’s even more important.
Bring harden home
We have no interest in competing I guess
ok then season is truly over lol
Ain’t nobody saying no to Melo, he’d bring quality and much needed flair to this team.
I think we should be willing to move all three of our players
Alex Caruso come on down

We have a point guard.
Good news. I wouldnt lose one more young player and picks to increase KDs ring chance a few percent. Lets wait offseason.
Jrue is best option to go for if Portland can get a 1st rounder or Tari
Has anyone seen citizen Kane? It sounds like that letter he sent about his inheritance, “ I have no interest in gold mines, oil wells, shipping or real estate.” It’s also in the white stripes song full of quotes from citizen Kane.
reading this thread, I’m so glad none of you are our GM
