... or trade.
Perhaps Fournier to somewhere, freeing up minutes for Grimes and Cammish.


Othersowise I'd have Cam's locker next to Burks.  They have similar games and early career struggles, compounded by injury.
Burks was stuck behind a rotating cast of others his first few years, then they drafted the somewhat similar Rod Hood.  When Burks got his chance to start in Y4, he blew out his shoulder early Dec.  Then Y5 made it to Xmas before his knee gave way.  So two lost years.  Then trades, etc.  Burks can help Reddish through it.

Yep

Seems Grimes already has his minutes .  But I guess that could change if Derrick came back.

I think Thibs has no clue who they will trade/trade for, so he is saying the only thing he can at the moment.

So. Trades.

For me, Obi has to stay because no one knows his ceiling (IMHO). His growth from last year to this is significant. Yeah, maybe he'll just be this athletic freak who finds a role in different squads. But maybe something much more

Has anyone seen a practical scenario where Randle can be traded?

Much higher chance than maybe...imho. There are plenty of athletic freaks who can highlight dunk. Very very few have Obi's touch around the basket, golden. And as much as we all hate Obi stationed out beyond the three...no way Thibs has him doing that if he weren't knocking 'em down in practice. Kid has motor, and as you note, demonstrated ability to improve (the D from Season 1 to Season 2..). Surely nobody untouchable on this team, but you don't let this kid go EZ..and def not lol, to "relieve Randle's burden."

Buy Advil at the corner store? The cops know instantly, the "residential committee" will give you a courtesy call, and you may has well march straight into isolation.

Would almost have to be McCollum, since the issue in POR is that Lillard and McC dominate the ball and can't stop anyone.  So you don't want to add Randle to that tandem.  Randle for McC would rebalance their roster positionally, without actually solving the O/D imbalance.  And of course then the Knix would have another SG who plays iffy D. 

Expand to Randle and Fournier for McCollum & Covington.
But again, doesn't solve anything for anyone.  POR needs a defender in the backcourt with Lil Dame.  Not Foureva leaving his man.  Swapping around offenders isn't going to help either team improve their defense.  They could use a Mitch/Noel.

Of course the idea of selling low on Julius before Toppings is a legit starter could use a rethink ...
