kg01 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Yikes, there are no good trade partners for POR really. Just now, JeffS17 said: And I hope that can persuade him to go to Houston (west) so Milwaukee has a hole to fill. Lopez is somehow automatic from 3 every time we play them Yeah so let's sign him instead of HOU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 I gotta admit, the Lakers are finding good value. They have signed quite a few guys, all on low cost deals. Reddish, Hayes, Vincent, resigned Rui on a fairly large deal but a manageable one. That's how you do it. Not over paying the Fred VanVleets and Jerami Grant's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the player Atlanta is targeting but the issue is Miami is his priority. Just got word that Dame does NOT want to go to Philly and Brooklyn doesn't have the assets. Miami is in the driver's seat. They just gotta find a 3rd team who's willing to fund the deal for Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg01 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 46 minutes ago, Hawkish said: For what? I don’t understand why teams deal with Miami. Does Pat Riley have dirt on other owners? There's always this idea that the team should honor the guy on his way out the door by sending him where he wants to go. But the reality is MIA has trasshets instead of assets. So trading with them actually hurts POR. If you're Lillard and you have all this respect and loyalty for POR, why do that to them? Find a happy medium. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the draft picks won't be really good especially considering there's no Wemby coming down the pike any time soon. Just now, warcore said: Someone's gotta fill Stu's shoes! .... who?

Brooklyn has the best assets lol. Miami heat reporters even said they don’t want Tyler herro. They have Dariq, clowney, cam, plus a boatload of picks 20 minutes ago, NBASupes said: @LarsV8 is on point with Lopez. Houston is putting the full court press on him and Milwaukee has put players on the block Pat M and Grayson A on the block to free up cap space. So it's gonna be difficult.

Hawkish Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 19 minutes ago, NBASupes said: Portland wants draft picks and young players. The issue with Miami is that they have the best team after a Dame trade but Portland doesn't like what Miami has to offer. Miami is in the driver seat Dame still has priority What draft picks and young players do we have that we are going to give up for PG? (great player— too expensive and oft injured) I consider OO, JJ, Griff, and the rookies to be our young players. Certainly hope we don’t give up any of them for an expensive PG rental as a non-contender. We’ve already mortgaged our future drafts on Murray.

Find a happy medium. Honor while detrimental to your own team? Hmm… I hope Portland can get out of the Jerami Grant deal. Just roll with Scoot, Sharpe, Simons, and whatever comes from Lillard. They need front court players — not Herro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
