Time to root for the Knicks plain and simple cause Cam and a 1st is a pretty solid deal - BTW those other players do not count they might as well fly to there off season homes cause neither will see time in a Blazer uni that is for sure
These are the type of trades we need to make if we're going to have any chance to defend our summer league championship!
It clears enough room that the Blazers could sign a vet FA. It may also mean another trade is coming.
Haven’t made a comment on this forum in acouple months. If no other moves are made, it signals tank to me. I said I’d be excited whether or not we tanked or were a top 4 team, anywhere in between was where I would be uninterested in this team. A mid-lotto pick and a pick around 20 is fine with me. Our lotto pick can still be a top 6 pick if Dame sits.
except they are at 16 active players and can only have 15. Either need another trade or cut someone. If they are going to sign someone they might need both.
Yeah Hart wasn't the problem, but the organization made the decision to pick Anfernee over Josh Hart long before this season even started, so regardless of what happened Josh was gonna be gone.
You are missing the point. We are all tired. Tired of mediocrity. Tired of zero vision. Zero guts. I fully believe that Cronin wants to make moves but can't, as in, isn't allowed to by the Vulcans and an owner who sees the team as a line item on an asset sheet. They are first and foremost focus on protecting the value of the business. And a business in that kind of situation never rocks the boat. But this is nothing new: Paul Allen never had the stones to make big deals after Trader Bob (who did nothing wrong, he just swung for the fences and ended up popping out) failed to win a title and the team floundered. The organization never again, and without new ownership, will never take the risks necessary to win. I feel so sorry for Lillard.
I will admit before I heard about the protection on the 1st -- my grade for deal was like a - C maybe C minus -- but now that I know what it is giving this grade a solid B --- maybe could have been a little better maybe but who really knows and also waiting to see if anything else happens at the deadline. If the Blazers can find a taker for Nurk that would be a win cause talk about someone phoning it in that guy is like -- woohoo got paid now time to just do the bare minimum.
