They should be Atlanta's. They have their own & som OKC ones available https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/future_drafts/team
I actually heard that a lot of the Blazers were fed up with his inability to play. He milked his injury and was way too affable with opposing players. They thought he was ready to come back earlier than he did but his agent insisted he wasn’t ready. Meanwhile he was practicing with the team just fine. In my eyes, he didn’t even want to come to Portland. It was the fact they offered way more than anyone else that brought him here.
So Portland did not get 5 seconds as reported. They only get 2 for sure & possibly a 3rd if Hawks are bad in the 24-25 season.
Payton is one of those players that’s only really valuable to a handful of teams. I thought it was a bad signing during the summer and he did nothing to prove my feelings wrong. I wanted him and Nurk off the team so I guess I’m kinda happy.
The debate if it's totally Cronin's fault can be had. To make it seem like he's getting a free pass, unlike Olshey, is not accurate. The second part is what I was responding to.
He can't help but be what he is. He was promoted. He was given the job without any kind of actual hiring process. If I let my toddler drive my truck, is it her fault if she crashes?
uhhh...that tweet was only about Atlanta outgoing Atlanta picks. 3 of them go to Portland, and the Blazers get two other 2nd's from other teams
what are you basing that on....that tweet about Atlanta's outgoing draft picks? I see two that will almost certainly convey and one that probably won't. But that is only the Atlanta part of the trade. There are a couple of other 2nds, a 2026 from Memphis and a 2028 from Golden State.
I know that was only looking at the Hawks side of the trade. Why hasn't it been reported that GSW received 2 2nds and sent out 2 2nds? Do we know for sure Portland got 2nds from the Warriors?
Again, the post you responded to was in response to someone implying Cronin isn't getting critized like Olshey would have and me responding that he is in fact receiving plenty of heat around here. The debate on how much of the blame he deserves is another topic.
I thought the Memphis pick was protected 42-60 but it's actually 30-42, so 4. That 2025 hawks pick is not gonna convey. We sent out two in the Thybulle deal. So +2
They can be traded before the year they are conveyed or not, as has happened here. We can trade them all this summer. They have value while theoretically they could convey.
