Yup you could probably do a Trey for Allen + 1st round pick + 1st round pick swap, and I'm sure it could get done. The salaries match up pretty well and both teams would benefit. The only problem I see is the Pels lose even more shooting with this trade, so maybe you try to get Cleveland to throw in a Jaylon Tyson into the package.

I would 100% take one of those 2030s 1st round picks, as the Cavs are going all in, and their team would be full of overpaid max guys and 40 yos, and they won't have too many ways to improve themselves once LeBron is gone.

If we're not going big game hunting, and instead looking for a backup big for a platoon lineup, Quentin Post or Nick Richards are the best of what's left. Post offers some floor spacing, and Richards can bang a little down low.

I doubt we're going into the season with the current C rotation, we're likely waiting out the market to see what opportunities may arise once LeBron signs with a new team.

Completely agree, we didn't get a deal done before or at the draft, but there may be a secondary market for players once the 1st round of free agency passes and teams don't hit on their targets.

As awesome as Trey is, has limitations in his game that not aren't so obvious to the rest of the NBA. His ball handling, defense, passing skills, and primary shot creation skills might get marginally better, but they are likely not getting drastically better this far into his career.

He's a very good #3 on a contending team, but probably will never be a #1a, #1b, or #2. His value may never be higher, it might be closer to a #2 in the league right now. The longer you hold on to him, the higher chance he becomes an Ingram or Zion in provided perceived value once the rest of the league realizes his limitations.

Trey to Blazers proposal

Posted by chhese007 on 6/30/26 at 5:45 pm
Pro Pels talk podcast had some interesting banter a couple weeks ago about a potential Trey Murphy trade for Donovan Clingan and one of their guards/wings, potentially Shaeden Sharpe or maybe Camara. Clingan is the perfect type of center that we've been looking for. He stretches the floor, can protect the rim, and doesn't have a high usage rate, and he's cost controlled for 2 more years.

The blazers have way too many guards now after the Ja trade, and they need to unload somebody. They just resigned Robert Williams for 3 years, and they also have Yang Hanson, so they do have some depth in the front court, so their center room wouldn't be totally bare.

Would you do this as the base of the trade?
Pels: send out TM3
Blazers: send out Clingan & Sharpe

Would you have to include Missi, Matkovic, or something else to sweeten the pot and give the blazers some center depth in return? We just resigned DeAndre Jordan to be our 3rd string center/player coach.

Why would the blazers do this?

Would either team need to give up a 1st round pick up sweeten the pot? Which team would have to give up the pick .

Either way, with our 2 glaring holes at C and SG last year, we can patch both of them with this type of trade. Flame away my friends...

Sean Sweeney the guy?

It's gotta be him, right? Why else would they be waiting so long into the playoffs to make an announcement? You could have announced any other of the candidates 1 or 2 weeks ago.

Do they make the announcement this weekend after the Spurs finish the series?

Idk I'm just trying to stir up some discussion here...

We can prob do some addition by subtraction with some of the posters on this board...
I'm a vegetarian, not vegan. I have been one since I was a teenager, and now I'm in my 40s. Growing up in the deep south, you would think it would be tough or you would get picked on, but besides the recurring jokes from isolated close minded idiots, everybody from friends to work colleagues to random people I meet have all been supportive, cool, and always willing to discuss the differences in philosophies.

It's actually not hard at all, especially if you include all the ethnicities in your diet. "American" veggie food isn't very creative or healthy, but every other culture offers delicious, healthy, and an amazing spectrum of options. Whether it's Indian, Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Greek/Lebanese, Peruvian, Japanese, African, Haitian, Central American, Italian, German, etc etc etc, they all have so much variety, spice, and amazing taste.

My wife isn't vegetarian, but she's become moreso, maybe about 90% veggie since we got married. Our 3 young kids are not vegetarian, and we want them to decide what's best for them when they come of age.

To each their own...
Any Indian restaurant (Swagat), Thai (Chai Thai Lao) or Vietnamese (Pho Cafe) restaurants that has veggie options, also a real nice sit down place is Cocha. There are also some good Japanese and ramen places as well. There are actually really good places all around town that have good combos.
Who's better, Capella or Okongwu?Looks like Okongwu has a game better for today's NBA, as he's starting to shoot 3s, and looks to be more mobile and able to guard wings on the perimeter. This might complement Missi's and Zion's game better, and you would think we could pry him off the Hawks for Ingram.

Really interesting discussion Hawks were having about him last year.

He seems not a true stretch 5, but more of a good "starting to stretch 4.5", so he could also solve the backup to Zion problem, and not take too many minutes from Missi.
Seoul Tofu Korean Restaurant

Hot Stone bibimpap is the best thing here. We also got the kimchi pancake and the hot pot tofu soup. We love Korean food.

So much great (and affordable) food off the strip in Vegas.
Get a Kia Carnival. It's marketed as a MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), looks like an SUV, but is contrasted in the minivan class with a minivan like price. I had the same issue with my wife when we had baby number 3 coming...her not wanting a minivan and wanting an SUV instead. This was definitely a compromise winner for us. As a bonus, it has the highest consumer reports safety ratings in this class as well.

SUVs are horribly overpriced, Best of luck to you my friend...
