    Cronin definitely has to wait for summer league to finish. These are the players the Blazers would want if any of them look good.

    I can't see it happening any other way. It is the only thing Miami has of value that we need. An SF with size and a PF who
    can score. I am not counting on the Nets to offer more picks, but including Jovic and Jaquez is a no-brainer. Adding them both will not affect Miami's chances of being a contender next year. They absolutely should and will be included. They can keep Caleb Martin instead as he helps with their timeline and not necessarily ours.

    I like Bari a lot. Not sure if he'll stick but I really like the guy a ton.

    He needs to find a shot he can hit consistently. Like Watford's floater.

    Bari is just confirming what I have been saying!

    "Man Shaedon.... the more I see him the more I realize he's going to be a star. I know he got picked 7th last year and people were saying he was a steal, and I was like 'man that's a really high pick' but I can really see how he could have went 2 or 1. Honestly he's what you want in a wing. He's athletic, he can move his feet... he is still working on that. He has high upside, can shoot at a high level already... I believe he was a steal of last years draft... along with me."

    No, no, my friend. They can't keep nothing.

    After one game in the summer league, suddenly, Miami offer shifting from "worst offer ever" to "oh, it would be lovely to get Jovic and Jaquez..., they can keep Caleb"

    It's like finishing your 11y relationship (being drunk and emotional) for a young girl with heavy make up on her face.
    It's a trap:)
    It's summer league.

    Is it just me or was Bari throwing shade at Dame in that interview?

    Not just you. He said something at the end about sorely needing a true point guard :lol:

    If anything, it's not Dame that should be drug tested after his 71... Jaques should be drug tested now, because it is so obvious, that Pat will try to show him to us.

    Also the "everyone is excited to be here" line.

    The irony is that almost 30 years ago the Blazers picked Bowie at #2 instead of Jordan who went #3. Now it was Jordan who picked #2 and the Blazers get Scoot at #3. Only time will tell how this will play out!
