At least we won’t be mocked for the next 20 years for who we take with this pick, look at the bright side.
we really needed this pick to move up. we might have to look forward to the draft lottery night for more many years to come.
Two posters have said we will be like the Mavericks next season. That would be a good place to start. Lets watch them evolve with their confidence in us being in the WCF next year as the offseason continues.
Well that does it for the only excitement we were gonna get for this season. Lets see what next year holds. Have fun looks like Keegan Murray but if it was me picking on draft day it would be Ochai Ogbaji with the 7th pick and i would keep him and not trade him away for Grant.
I agree and I really like BlazerKor's idea of trading down to the Spurs for #9 and #25 and trading #25 and Bucks 2025 to Detroit for Grant. I think we can get Duren at #9 and then S&T Nurk to a team that needs a Center for a wing defender. I forgot Grizz have Adams now so scratch them.
I don’t give a shit if Duren cant shoot 3s, at 18 he looks like a fucking body builder and has hops. Last young guy I saw that looked like that at 18 was Dwight. Dude is gonna bully people in the paint and not throw up weak shit layups from 2 feet out.
Progress report: we’re fucked. It’s early but I think it’s safe to say. Maybe we’ll get a better pick next season…or the season after that.
So throwing away the last 30 games of the season was worth it because we got the 7th pick? Is there someone available at that pick that you think is going to turn this around? Please do share!
A few? Think again. I can see you sit at home and watch on illegal free streams. Lets hope for the best. It's all we can do now. Hopefully the Blazers stay injury free next year and they put together a good team that competes and gives Chauncey a good run. This summer ain't over yet.
It was the right play to make especially when assuming we were going to have a late lotto pick as well. If we didn't tank but made the same trades, we would have either made the playoffs and been swept out of the first round or ended up with the 12th pick. Those are both worse situations than where we find ourselves right now. The 7th pick is not the payoff anyone was hoping for when going through that brutal tank but it was still the right way to play the hand that we had at the time.
