Lillard available?

[Zulu]

I'd do Favors, Hood and let them pick either Exum/Burks/or two First (2017 & 2018)!!

wet dream... if we can keep Hill, Hay, and Gobert. Yes, Hill.

I really don't get the NBA sometimes. The Blazers want to move 26-year old Damian Lillard because they firmly believe that 25-year old CJ McCollum has the potential to eventually be almost as good as Damian Lillard.

You want to know what I don't get? I don't get why Portland isn't selling high on BOTH Lillard and McCollum and racing to the bottom for this upcoming draft. They could end up with 3 picks in the top 10 and more good picks in the next two years.

I don't think they'd want Hill, I think Hood would be a good fit next to CJ.

read again, my friend. I want to keep Hill. Beyond this year, too, even if we were to acquire Lillard.

I agree but that's a tough sell knowing there's no guarantee just how high those picks will be. If they end up being like 5, 7 and 9, and they are unable to move up in order to get a stud, I'm not sure that's the best move right now.

from the sounds of things, there will be studs available at 5, 7, and 9.

I was just agree that we wouldn't even need to offer Hill.

1, 4, and 7, we'll that's a whole nother story.

Imagine, Fultz, Isaac (like him a lot) and someone else at 7...a pure shooter. You run those three out there at the 1, 2, and 3 next year, let them take their lumps, and get more draft picks next year to fill out the bigs.

When Aldridge walked it would have been an opportune time to do it. Now they're stuck with a middling pick, and bloated contracts of Evan Turner and Allan Crabbe

Portland is a mess and totally screwed their reboot after LMA left.

If they weren't stuck with these contracts, then it would make sense to KEEP Lillard and McCollum because they'd have the flexibility to build something around them. But they ****ed up the latter, so it's time to sell the former and reboot. IMO.
