Not sure if an even remotely reliable site so please go gentle with the pitchforks.

Would make sense in many ways of course, as always, depending on the deal.

  3. Grayson, Jae, Planet Pat, all our picks. Who says no?

    (Completely realistic offer – Portland could never turn this down)

  4. Seems like the FO is content playing out these next two years with (essentially) this squad and then re-tooling when the books free up. This lines up with the Khris/Jrue/Brook deals + the time when Giannis will make his decision. We also free up an extra first-rounder if we wait until draft night next year (or shortly thereafter I can’t remember) which will help in those efforts to rebuild the roster at that point or help tear things down next offseason if we underachieve again.

    It’s not exactly sexy and depending on your thoughts on this current “core” you can certainly disagree with it, but it’s hard to see how, with where this team is currently sitting talent and contract wise, that this was anything more than a “kick the tires” call, which I’m sure every team in the league has done.

  5. There would have to be several teams involved lol would likely be Middleton or jrue gone, maybe Bobby too.

    Unless Portland is just gonna give a discount just so he doesn’t go to Miami.

    But if there was any way in hell without giving up a whole lot they need to do it.

  6. Jrue++ would be my guess. I love jrue and believe we don’t win the chip without him. We would give up defense, but gain scoring and at least for the recent years, clutch play. Danes contract would still align with Middleton somewhat.

    Not that Portland is dumb, but the chatter about jrue wanting this to be his last contract scares me a bit as well.

  7. “Hey Portland GM, Jon Horst here, anything we can offer you short of Gian.., no, cool, thanks for taking my call.”
