We got the #3 pick. Discuss the possibilities.

No it's obvious/understandable the organization is being tight lipped RN.

 

yes

 

So according to "sreekar" the Blazers are only pretending to want to get better?

Mmmmmmkay

 

Sure but Dame isn't. He has given multiple interviews. He has commented on the direction of the team. He could have come out and said that he was cool with Scoot or Miller but he didn't. We have no evidence that he has changed his mind.

 

Where?

 

you find it...you seem more interested in confirming it than I am

 

JFC. That's ridiculous.

 

The Blazers "could" target my grandma. But that would be stupid.

 

He hasn't since the workouts started.

 

Nah that interview he did with the boxing guy was recent. Definitely after we got the third pick.

 

Something like that would be interesting

You could also continue to build out the roster over the next 2 seasons or so with MLE - type guys to solidify the bench unit

I wanted Miller to start for developmental reasons but if you can land OG that would be great for POA defense

I'm not a huge Ayton fan, but if people are sold on him, having 2 players on rookie contracts definitely makes eating that contract more plausible

 

I was giving you some shit becasue I don't care about it anymore. I'm not going to get back on that dumb-ass merry-go-round with you Nate. You are way too invested in that absolutist narrative, what it means, and way too combative about it. I don't want to be part of that food fight anymore

did you even see what Propogandist said in the Dame time thread?

 

3 and Sharpe for Bam is gonna be epic

I better not hear from any of you Dame supporters when this happens

 

No disrespect to him, but I'm not taking the word of a random dude on this forum.

And gifs are fucking hilarious. They're not combative.

 

Are we going to forget that the West goes through Denver and The Joker?

Bam was absolutely dominated. Jokic was toying around with Bam Bam and still put up historically good numbers.

Meh.

 

Windhorst (lol) did say he re-confirmed today (or yesterday) with Damian's "camp" or some BS that is still how he feels.

Now, who Windhorst's sauces are ... and if it's accurate ... could be disputed of course

 

We have a far better chance of competing within 5 years with Dame than without him.

 

I don’t see anyone who’s going to be able to match up with Jokic, anyway. That being said, I personally wouldn’t trade Sharpe straight up for Bam.

 

This has been the narrative of a few people around here and the #1 case for trading Dame.

Short of Giannis or Embiid requesting a trade, there is pretty much no plausible way we can compete with the upper tier of the west.

Of course, the counter is that injuries can happen to any team and given Murray and specifically Porter Jr.'s health, as well as Durant's, there certainly could be an opening to compete in any given year.
