"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Dame to philly for simmons? Would portland take that over anything we have to offer?
I don?t think this team is ready to make the most of this type of trade. So I say the Pels should pass.

Ok but what players do we give up? The Blazers are rumored to being sold. I guess i?d be ok with sending Bledsoe and Adams there but not our young players. Kind of messed up to send promising young players to a team in such disarray right?

If the Blazers ask for BI, NAW, Kira, 10, Pels 2023, Lakers 2024. So basically all of our best assets
For reference:
Philly -- Simmons, Maxey, 28, 2023 first, 2026 first
Knicks -- Barrett, Toppin, Quickley, 19, 21, 2023 1st, Dallas 2023 1st, etc.
Celtics -- Brown, Rob Williams, Grant Williams, Nesmith, 2022 1st (after this years draft), 2025 1st, 2027 1st
Warriors -- Wiggins, Wiseman, 7, 14, 2022 1st, 2026 1st
Rockets -- 2, 23, 24, etc.
Raptors -- OG/Siakam, 4, 2023 1st, 2025 1st, 2027 1st
I would not depart with our young guys. You won't have a good bench left if NAW/Hayes are traded. They are too promising to move. We should keep our 10th pick or package it with Bledsoe/Adams even Kira for a glue guy/s that can either play D or shoot from outside. We need a third wheel aka Jrue for the Bucks. We have our two stars already and don't need another superstar.

I get what he is saying though. He is saying we don?t need to sacrifice our depth for one player that is just going to take away shots from Zion and Ingram.

lets start here....if you were portland GM, what would it take for you to engage in a conversation with the pelicans?....
At this moment if I were Portland, I'd be asking for the package I mentioned above of BI, NAW, Kira, 10, Pels 2023, Lakers 2024, and probably Pels 2025. I don't think they sniff that much value for Lillard however. Realistically I think something like BI, Kira, 10, and their choice of one more 1st will be competitive with the offers they get from other teams (but again I think everything centers around the Raptors)
That’s even worse. I want someone good enough to demand shots from the other two elite players. Because one of them will be off one game. Then there’s two other dudes go pick up the slack. I want the problem is not enough shots to go around. That’s not a problem. Thats a privilege.
The game is in big 3s... So, shipping out Ingram with a plethora of picks just seems like a shortsighted move considering the age and holes still on the team. You just get a nicer version of last year team with less depth lol.
It’s not the same. Lillard > Ingram and it’s not even close. And we wouldn’t be giving up everything. We’d have enough assets remaining to make smaller moves to bring in depth and fill the roster out. I mean, how many teams are going more than 8 men deep?
Plus we would still be in position to sign and trade Lonzo. Or just keep him.
