Are you being sarcastic?

Unsubstantiated "source", but we also have many of those here.

Basically 7 for Dort + 12 + Den23 1st + 34 + Future second

 

So 12 + Dort + Den first in 2023 + 34 + future 2nd for #7?

Hard to say no to that kinda value even if Dort clogs up our guard rotation. I don't like the part about Griffin though.

 

Does Dort + a pick in the 20s + 2 seconds move you from 12 to 7? Hard to say. The hype around Dyson Daniels has been pretty loud over the last few weeks. If that's the case, there's a significant drop of after 7 in the lottery.

 

I'd do that deal. Though I don't like his mention of us focusing on Griffin with that pick. Not that I've done much scouting of anyone. I don't know who I would prefer with 12.

 

I think the question then becomes what does the 23 pick/ the mil 25 pick get you? Satisfies the 2 first desire from Det for Grant. So essentially we'd be turning 7 and the Milwaukee pick into Grant, Dort, and prospects at 12 and 34.

Curious bball fits but not a bad value play.

But ya the dropoff from 7 to 12 could be great as per recent valuations

 

Anyone but AJ for me. Duren/Sochan/Eason/Davis would all be fine at 12.

 

Some guys are ranking Davis as high as their 5/6/7th best player in the draft. If we could snag him and also acquire another rotation player, that could be really solid.

But I don't want Dort. I don't think he makes sense. He's a role player. That's not what we need. That's such a pedestrian move if Cronin pulls the trigger. It's still that Olshey mentality and it's a losers mentality.

 

What if we flipped Hart with bledsoe for a forward?

 

you can’t handle the truth.

just like you can’t handle mrs. hcp.

 

Dort would be good in Detroit next to Cade. Maybe we flip dort to Detroit? So it basically becomes moving from 7 to 12 to pick up grant. Maybe need to include one of the 23 Denver or 25 Milwaukee picks too.

 

Dort is a keeper.

You need his defense in the west. You trade for him solely for his defense.

Dort > Grant

 

He’s still a role player. We don’t need role players.

 

I tried to handle her the first time

the next day I scheduled an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon. The second time I tried it I had to see my proctologist. There won't be a third time

 

Embiid > Dort

 

Michael Jordan >Blevins

 

Let’s not push it.

 

he’s also improved offensively. In a more structured system/team I think you’d see better efficiency. But his defense, it’s so fun to watch

 

Swing big with the draft in a market like Portland

 

I like Dort. But he’s a very slight upgrade over Hart
