    If the Blazers can rename themselves Miami Heat and move all of the Miami team to Portland.

    So ya’ll are saying if OG was open to a trade or Portland decided to break it up cause they can’t get over the hump you wouldn’t take him?

    Dame/Reddish
    For
    Jalen/KJ/Garuba/both 2023 FR/2 2024 SR
    Then sign Harden

    Portland needs to keep the pick and trade Dame.

    Quiet LA playoff crowd is absolutely juicy.

    Fandom goes like this:
    1 Rockets
    2 Whoever plays an evil empire team

    I'm not gonna be surprised at all when Charlotte takes Scoot and Portland takes Miller and keeps him after all these rumors went flying around

    Sh*t just usually isn't that exciting when draft day actually rolls around. Hard to make a trade that satisfies both parties.

    Ok, help me understand why what we have now is better?

    I’m not suggesting long term Dame and Harden. Maybe 2 years to see if there is anything there.

    How many more years does a KPJ/Jalen/Jabari core get? Alpie is our best player.

    Unless you are telling me hiring Udoka is just an automatic 10 plus extra wins I don’t get your disgust at the thought of Dame/James short term.

    If I were Portland . .. I'd Trade Dame
    However - If you must keep him . . How does KAT help more than Nurkic?
    They need someone not only skilled but not soft.
    Kevin Duckworth 2.0 ain't gonna cut it.
    KAT + Nurcic frontline is not gonna strike fear into alot of teams

    Should I have said best team ball player with highest BB IQ on the team and Jalen is our best athlete?

    Of course no team says we need to stop Sengun. Our team sucks!
    No one team looks at the schedule and says we are definitely gonna lose to Houston tonight either.

    We going to trade in 21 year olds in rookie contracts for a 33 year old to pair with a 34 year old where said 34 year old lost in the second round with the current league MVP as a teammate.

    So you want to be play in/8th seed fodder for a decade.

    Even if you are a Sengun dick rider who hates Jalen Green, just understanding basic contract situations context would make you be adverse to the type of cockamamie trade you suggested.

    Don't let your dick riding cloud your judgement.

    So you are a Jalen Dick Rider?

    And can you tell me which rockets player has the highest BB IQ on the team then?

    Sorry, not a rider. Honestly have only watch maybe 10 games per season the past three years cause the team is so bad.

    I was optimistic for Silas early on but clearly to soft for a head coach.

    Silas isn't the head coach?
