He said if the Blazers don't want him, so I don't think that matters much considering he went to school in Utah and is from California. I would be open to trading either him or CJ, though, but I'd want a guy who can play one of the guard positions and can play D, cause both Dame and CJ are not good defenders. I don't see a trade we could make happen with Utah that would move the needle for the Blazers. Plus, Lillard and Turner in that trade would be $40 million that would have to work out in the trade. Using the trade machine, the only way to dump both Lillard and Turner to Utah we'd have to take back Favors, Burks and Joe Johnson plus someone like Rodney Hood. 

I would do that in a heartbeat. Would suck losing Favors but getting Dame back in return would be amazing. I know it's never going to happen, at least not for another four years, but it's always fun to think about.

And if you're looking for guards that defend, Hood and Burks are not the answer.

Smith is basically a guy designed for the current NBA. Can be your leading assist man and your leading scorer every night out.

[livid]

For real though, I am a fan of that Smith pick and it will be amazing that the Mavs actually have a decent PG again.

Butler is kind of a douche, I remember people saying something about how Ainge didn't like that about him.

Ainge is kind of a douche!

[gunnar hendershow]

Ainge is so weird about all these picks. I know Auerbach always stockpiled picks as well and rarely dealt them, since you get the longest tenure of a star player that way, but Ainge has been so freaking bad at drafting.

And he should've been a Knick.

I've made a concentrated effort to get into the NBA last season and gonna strong at it next year.

Gotta say, the economics and trading in the league is fascinating. Way more exciting than the NFL. Been having a blast following it this off-season!

Have you picked a team and if not can we pick your team?

[Your Mom]

I hear there is a certain Chicago based team that just traded away their best player for a pile of garbage. Sound appealing to you?

I've picked the New Orleans Pelicans, so no need to pick! I liked Anthony Davis since the he played in the Olympics in 2012 before hitting the NBA. I also liked the Hornets growing up playing NBA video games with Muggsy Bogues, so I stayed with I stayed with the original Hornets and Davis! Plus they kinda suck and after the Boogie trade, could be on the up.

I'm not coming in with zero knowledge, so I wouldn't want to be pawned a joke team!  

[gunnar hendershow]

All the joke teams in the NBA have loyal fans that post in this thread regularly.

Yeah I know, that's why I don't know if Utah would be a good trade partner with Portland. Maybe a 3-team sort of deal. And if we didn't let Turner go and instead let Leonard off, there's 7 million less to make up for.

Step 2. Profit
Step 3. Cuban goes nuts*

Clippers are done. Paul and Griffin both opted out.

As a Mavs fan, and a fan of good basketball, I'm happy this happened. Clippers are my least liked team, and not just for the DeAndre stuff (actually glad that happened in hindsight), they're just a hack team, all talent and no big game composure.
