You don’t post something like that and not demand a trade. He’s exactly what we need and Portland needs to rebuild.

Does Obi, IQ, Knox, 4 first rounders get the deal done? Have to think with Mitch, RJ making no money and Julius making 19MM that they will have the money to also go after Leonard.

If it were reverse would u trade lillard for this? U don’t think they could perhaps get a jaylen brown type? You didn’t even offer rj. No way

We need to build a deep team (like the Jazz)as opposed to some star laden team thats an injury way from lottery bound.

The lakers showed us 2 things, you can build a championship team overnight, but it won't last when the you build it with a injury prone player(AD) an aging star(lebron) and a rag tag mix of decent role players that don't fit

I agree with this to an extend. But you do need a superstar to win a championship. Have to figure out how to build a deep team even after adding a star. The draft is a make or break. Celtics are an example of a team that had all of the picks and drafted poorly so the supporting cast was depleted. We had misses with Frank and knox but are rebounding well with Barrett, IQ and Toppin. Our best case is to add a significant FA like Chris Paul or Kyle Lowry that influences the team on the court and other players to join off the court and just continue to build. Our overall depth lessens the concern of adding an aging star. Eventually the right superstar will want to join and you just bridge the gap until then. With 2 first round picks, Knicks need to draft at least 1 player that can become a significant trade asset in the meantime. Similar to IQ. That way you have so many of these guys that you don’t have to trade them all to get a star via trade.

For a player who never really took his team to the next level. I watched Dame go totally Randle down the stretch of the game last night, back to back unforced TO's (both lead to scores on the other end) one air ball, and another really bad shot selection, all in crunch time, just trying to do too much.

I'm not saying I wouldn't want Dame, I'm just saying I don't want to deplete our youth and future for a 2 yr run.

I trust Broc, Leon and WW won't even consider a trade like that, they just seem way to conservative.

Look at what Rose did when he joined us - he got us over the hump, made us competitive, played a supporting role.

I'd like to think we could get Jimmy Butler in a salary dump type deal, without giving up anything other than cap - and even there - I wonder.

Look at some of the teams that flamed out - Miami, Washington, the Clippers - they're all kinda in a bad place cap wise.

It would probably be a RJ, sign and trade D Rose, Toppin, Knox and 3 first round picks and pick swaps

I agree, no starphuching please.. I know to win your need a mercenary to join up but there is a limit.

Leon: No, honestly Obi looks alot smoother in practice! Ignore the ski rack thing! He's going to be a ...
