Don't get me wrong, as much as I hope we can get OG for 7 and EBEC... I will be a little bummed that we won't get the excitement of not knowing just how good one of these rookies could be. What I wouldn't miss would be the uncertainty around if they'll even be good.
When did OG become LeBron cause they are talking like he is this mega star and such when in reality -- NO He is a very good piece who I think needs to be surrounded by other good pieces --- at best he has CJ value but even that might be a stretch cause he has injury concerns etc -- cause I do not think OG could lead a team he at best is Robin and more realistic the next hero in line after Robin plain and simple.
Any good will that Cronin gained for getting Grant on the cheap would be flushed down the toilet if he did a trade like the one suggested in the Raptors forum. The only thing that would save him from being enemy #1 would be a title.
I think that's been the case for some since we hired him ..if that's the deal Joe's second deal would be telling the Raptors to fuck off
Going to add something --- The Raps are totally making more of OG then he is but some Blazer fans are JUST as guilty on Nas and I think the Blazers should think of trading him cause correct me if i am wrong he is coming up on a contract year and the Blazers cannot afford to pay everyone so trade him while he has value IF the trade makes sense.
I like OG a lot. And if we’re planning on keeping Lillard and trying to make a run at something he makes more sense than the 7th which would most likely not be an impact guy right off the bat. It completely depends on what direction we’re going. Youth movement or add pieces for Lillard?
Just say no to trading with Masai. If he takes the pick for OG I am convinced he has found a superstar.
I think I would rather gamble in the draft than OG but wouldn't be too upset. I really think the only way we contend is getting exceptionally lucky and drafting a generational talent.
Fischer: Portland’s Wednesday night acquisition of Grant from the Detroit Pistons, and the Trail Blazers’ priority of dealing the No. 7 pick for Anunoby, would seem to make Portland a less likely destination for Collins, despite frequent trade conversations between the Blazers’ and Hawks’ front offices.
