We got the #3 pick. Discuss the possibilities.

TheNBACentral? Whatever is spewing out of their mouth......is not unlike horse defacation.

 

Hey. It's not like you don't know what your reputation is. You're like the king of negativity and because every time you can go negative you do... you then say shit like, "I told you guys (fill in the blank) bad thing was going to happen." You're not a bad person because of it. You seem like a good dude. It's just that your takes are almost always extremely negative. There are exceptions but it's gotta be way more than 80% of your posts that are negative.

 

This is not a power superstars have had. Kobe demanded a trade and the Lakers told him no. Durant demanded a trade and the Nets told him no; until 8 months later when they eventually got a great offer they changed their mind and decided to go through with it.

Do you think Dame has more power than Kobe or Durant?

How could Dame cry about not receiving "loyalty" if he is trying to force his way off a team he committed to and was rewarded with a $200 million extension that hasn't even started yet?

 

I would hate this trade if it went through…feels like Cronin is trying to give away the pick for any good wing?

 

This dude is so overrated. I swear to god.

 

Dude i been very optimistic and happy latley since we been tanking and got the 3rd pick! I’m even happy with Brandon Miller or scoot.. I don’t even care which one

 

Pretty much every rumor involving Portland has been lopsided, and not in our favor.

 

I increasingly feel the move is to trade down to #4 to take Amen (If Joe likes him) and get a hold of the future Brooklyn picks. Then we would have leverage with those greedy sons of bitches for a future Mikal trade.

 

We are on Charlotte time atm cause until they select or finally choose we will know jack about the Blazers and possible trade partners it's now a waiting game and that sucks for us fans.

 

Don’t fuck our future up for desperation trade to try and crack open a 3 year window a smidge more.

 

Good....since Portland isn't offering. Works out well.

 

I don't think so. I think if we're going to take a player and risk pissing off Dame, I think we're going to go for the most likely star player, and that's Scoot.

 

Durant was reported to have gone into a meeting and requested a trade and the team convinced him not to. It's not like they just told him no. When he actually demanded it and it didn't even have to go public the Nets obliged. As far as Kobe goes I don't know what you're talking about. I know after they lost in the playoffs in 2007 that Kobe had some legendary blow up that they talked him down from but I don't think it ever went as far as a trade demand.

Are you telling me that you think if Dame asked out and the team said no that it wouldn't do damage to our franchise? I think you know it would be bad. Would trying to flex on Dame be worth that damage?

Also you throw out two extremely flimsy examples after we saw four or five trade demands met in the last year.

 

Btw when’s the last time pdx won a trade. Serious question

 

The Lillard draft? Gerald Wallace for the 6th pick.

 

Probably the Gerald Wallace trade with Brooklyn. We got Dame with that pick.

 

GPII for 5 2nd rounderd is a win. Hart for thybulle and a 1st is a win.

 

Cronin doesn’t know what he’s doing.

 

so the next question is when was the last time we had a GM that knew what they were doing…?
