Portland has got 2 first rounders, maybe they could try to package Evan Turner / Allen Crabbe, 2 1st rounders and Nurkic for Paul George?

Worst case: 1 fun year, they get out of some bad long-term salary. I doubt they are gonna pay Nurkic what he will demand given their salary situation

Best case: they get a sick long term team of Lillard / Miles / George

Im reaching here

Uhhh if you package it with the 15th & 20th picks this year as well as Nurkic, yeah I would that if I was Indiana. They are gonna be poo poo for the next ~3 years anyway so having a godawful contract of Evan Turner doesn't really matter. Maybe Portland throws in a future pick if it has to

Obviously depends on what else they are being offered, but I haven't heard any blow-away deals rumored

Portland will absolutely pay Nurkic if he keeps up his 2016-17 form.

Also I know I'm a homer but Crabbe and 2 1sts isn't that far off for a season rental of PG. I don't think many teams are offering much more. Tho I think Harkless, Ezeli and 2 firsts makes more sense.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I do appreciate the fan idea that the second you get traded you have to be vacated from your personal home.

I feel like I'm Harkless blind. He seems good and capable of being way better, but I could be making it up.

I just think it's hilarious that someone is camped out at PG's house right now.

He's selling that house regardless of if he gets traded now or walks next year. He might as well do it now.

Just to be clear crabbe and two firsts isn't a great offer. It's like a late first in value imho.

That's exactly how I feel. There were times last year where he played great and then he would disappear for 5 games. I have no idea what his actual value is.

I'm already sweating because I know they're going to gently caress it up somehow. They always do!

Markless is a big young wing who shows signs of a moderate three pointer .

I'd say 10 million a year is his "value"

That contract is a lot of money for a pure 3-and-D guy and Crabbe ain't really even that yet. Even if he was, how many rebuilding teams want to start over with some mid-to-late firsts and a 3-and-D guy as the centerpiece?

I think people just look at the how the cap rose and pretty much said every deal is fine.

Crabbe has shot +40% on real number of attempts . Hats pretty valuable. Not 20million a year tho.

I think Meyers moved my bar down to "are you actively embarrassing on the floor" and Harkless is never really that. I'm either excited about what he's doing or I don't notice him, but I'm never worried that he's going to comically gently caress up.

Yea thats probably better.

Not sure how much you could package the 2 Portland firsts for, maybe move up to about 10ish. I do think Nurkic is a lot more valuable than Rubio, if Portland included him.

Even if Indiana got Crabbe and re-signed Nurkic after next year, I think they could stay at about or just under the cap. They don't really have any horrible contracts
