Trade & FA 2024-25:

[F Gump]

TrailBlazers get: Kyrie + future 1st round pick.

Mavericks get: Deni Avdija + Anfernee Simons.

I would do that.

• Luka (+Anfernee, Gortman)
  
• Anfernee (+Grimes. Use either depending on situation, i.e., more offense or defense needed.)
  
• Avdija (+Naji, O-Max)
  
• PJW (+Avdija, O-Max)
  
• Lively (+Gafford)
  

Or figure out a way to include Chicago in the deal... sending Kyrie to the Bulls, and with the Bulls sending Coby White + other players to Portland.

LOL no, no, a thousand times no!
