Portland isn't trading McCollum

You don't think we could flip Vucevic today for Chandler Parsons if we wanted to? Or biyombo? Or Mahinmi? Or Tyler Johnson? We could get out of Vucevic today if we wanted to. There's no way we're stuck.

Nah. We're not stuck yet as we sit today. Uncertainty is scary but we're fine from a long term perspective. Short term is the ****ty part.

I do watch them play. Do you? That's Wiggins issue. It's why people call his contract untradable and compare him to Rudy Gay. The highs are there but so are the lows so any trade for him is a gamble that you can get more highs and coach the lows out of him. You see the box score from last night where he had 36 points and a near triple double where he shot 70% from 3 before a last second heave and he's tantalizing. But you're ignoring the 3 game stretch from earlier in the month where he averaged 10ppg on 29% shooting and 14% from 3. He puts up duds regularly and his team is on pace for 26 wins and have lost 10 of their last 11 games. So you have all the weaknesses of Fournier's worst at a max contract level salary. But there's a ceiling that's interesting. That's the gamble. To act like there's not a gamble is ignorant to what Wiggins actually is right now.

Here's fournier's numbers last year vs Wiggins' numbers this year. Almost identical with the exception of minutes and field goal attempts http://bkref.com/tiny/wUQN7 Would you think the problem we had last year was Fournier didn't shoot 6 additional times per game?

If we resigned Fournier to a 4 year 122 million contract and then his shooting dropped to career lows would you think it's a worse contact than Vucevic's?

Any Wiggins trade is effectively saying fultz-Wiggins-Isaac and whatever you can trade the other guys for us your team through 2022.

Wiggins. Hield is just hard to trade for. His contract is fine and any trade for him actually saves us a ton of money this year. It's the trade rules that kill us. That trade still keeps us under the luxury tax next year. It's the following year where we need to make cuts and basically retain fultz-Wiggins-Gordon-Isaac-Bamba okeke plus one guy in the aminu-Ross salary range and keep everyone else lower than 5 million because fultz Wiggins Gordon Isaac would be a presumed 106ish million between the 4 with a luxury tax threshold near 147 million

Next year we'd be able to run fultz-Wiggins-Gordon-Isaac-dieng MCW-Ross-Covington-okeke-Bamba ?-Frazier-?-aminu-Birch And maintain a ton of tradable assets

This is stupid but whatever https://tradenba.com/trades/-xxC-6GQD

The flashes are there which makes it tough.

I spend way too much time thinking about Wiggins. He's having one of his weeks right now where he looks like a star. Previous two weeks he was unplayable.

Teams make moves to address problems

He had 2 early fouls and probably screwed up a rotation or something and only played like 5 minutes in the first half.

We only play 8 games in the next 4 weeks. Need to get rest, trades, whatever for a final run.

Bamba's starting to put things together

Guys hold him a lot

It would have been better if Isaac didn't get knocked out.

Yeah, right? They weren't even in the same game and have no connection lol

This is how we want things to play out to force a move. Losses Bamba starting to figure things out. Also iwundu. Vets not playing well.

Yep

They should probably cancel the games today

I agree with him

I have no words
