Danny Ainge really has about the ideal track record you'd want in a GM so if he stays put it's not really a big deal but it's not very exciting for me

Bledsoe, Monk, Jackson/Taytum, Carmelo is a decent core with a mix of age and youth. Phil doesn't deserve it.

Nurkic looked pretty good after the trade last season and without him they basically have no one to play center. Pretty much no way they can be competitive without Nurkic.

Realistically Portland can probably only dump Leonard. But they should probably be seriously considering trading CJ as well. I love CJ but he and Dame are basically the same dude and awful together on defense. Moving those two would get them under the cap.

wait he changed it from JD and the Straight Shot to James Dolan and the Straight Shot?

He removed even the half-attempt at being clever and thematic in order to make sure everyone knows it's him?

Is he still pretending he's friends with the musicians

Nurkic is an RFA in 2018 and someone is going to offer him the max if he keeps up his play from end of last season. Even if Portland trade Leonard and don't take any salary back, they will be right at the luxury tax border next year even if they don't resign any of their free agents, so maxing Nurkic will put them well over. Because they were over the tax line in 16/17 (by $66,000 lol) and are certain to be this season that would make it three years in a row and make them a repeater tax payer. They are going to have to move CJ and probably not get a lot of value back for him.

Like whatever, I get it. I was never as down on his performance on the Spurs as others, I think he's been good, but this is just another symptom of his mental fragility. I blame Portlandia culture :smugdog:
But it's all good cuz apparently George Hill wants back in

If they're gonna trade Nurkic away too then... what is even the plan then? They're not going to get anyone to replace him in the draft and they aren't going to get anyone in free agency and if they did it would put them in a worse cap situation than resigning Nurkic.

Man those Crabbe and Turner contracts are such albatrosses.

I honestly don't see any package the Suns could offer that would make me ok with trading KP, even if Booker was on the table. The Celtics are really the only option if this goes down, which it wont because god doesn't hate me that much. I hope.

Nurkic is definitely getting the mini max.

Also I'm 99% sure that Portland stayed under the tax by like $5,000 last year, but I think the actual numbers come out in early July.

Seriously though worst case scenario the Blazers have to throw in a first round pick to get rid of Evan Turner this season or next.

According to a Knicks source, Jackson is asking for the third overall pick in Thursday's draft as well as next year's Brooklyn pick along with Jaylen Brown and Jae Crowder. This version of the deal would not include Boston taking on Joakim Noah's contract.

Take Jalen Brown out of that deal and I'd do that as Boston.

Or maybe keep Brown in but get the Knicks to throw in something more on their end like a heavily protected first rounder.
