Here's a Brogdon trade idea. What if Brogdon is here to stay and back up both Scoot and Shae at both guard spots and this signifies that Ant will be moved for a forward that makes sense with this roster???
Is New Orleans trying to make the playoffs, or tanking? Who's New Orleans starting Point Guard? How about Herb Jones or Dyson Daniels?
This is a great example….you just typed, “I heard” Did you REALLY “hear” that? Honest question. Where, if you don’t mind me asking? Honest question. Somebody came up to you and told you this? I just have to ask.
That's good thinking. Turn our assets into the player we want now. Why wait? Blazers traded a 2025 pick for Grant.
starting SF's last year in the Western Conference: Denver 6'10 Memphis 6'7 Sacramento 6'8 Phoenix 6'6 (traded for 6'10) LAC 6'8 GS 6'7 LAL 6'9 Minny 6'9 NOP 6'8 OKC 6'8-6'5 Dallas 6'7 Utah 6'9 Houston 6'6 SAS 6'7-6'5 if Sharpe/Thybulle are the SF rotation this coming season, then Blazer SF's over 3 seasons will be 6'3-->6'5-->6'5-->6'5. At the same time the starting SG is 6'3 and can't defend a broken chair. Make it stop!
That works for me. Whichever one brings us the best return on a young forward. A younger team with an abundance of forwards might be interested in Ant, whereas a contender with a young forward might have a bigger need for Brogdon.
‘Trying to make the playoffs” doesn’t mean making all in moves just to make an 8th seed. I’d love Herb Jones, he’d be much easier to obtain, but he isn’t available till December. I like Dyson as a prospect but I’d want Dyson + a 1st if it’s Dyson, Herb + filler if it’s Herb. But it’ll all be dependent on how NOLA does. There’s a chance they’re solidly in the 5th or 6th seed and are find with CJ rather than trading picks or young assets for Brogdon. Brogdon might be better in his role than CJ, but he’s still not a true PG.
Henderson and Sharpe (at SG) must be the backcourt of the Future. Simons has to go too at some point.
Grant was some who was already in agreement with Detroit that he would be traded to any team he wants if he signed the Pistons deal. You really thought Grant would’ve been that cheap had that not been the case? Of course, I’ll be hoping the Pels are that incompetent to do that, as you all are. Just doesn’t seem realistic.
Isn't that the point of accumulating picks? Use them to overpay to get a player you really want. If you are not a Trey Murphy fan then I fully understand. But he seems like he would be a pretty good fit.
The Pels are incompetent. They have no clue what they're doing. Their two highest-paid players are CJ McCollum (who has 3 more years on his contract) and Zion Williamson.
I am a huge Trey Murphy fan, I just don’t think the Pels are willing to even give this a thought, so it’s a moot point. David Griffin is a lot smarter than trading his SF of the future just to hope they make the playoffs for a year or two with an older guard. The chances of him getting fired in the next few years increases exponentially if he does something like this.
Not feeling a need to rush here unless Cronin gets a great offer. I thought we needed one more guard, preferably a steady hand who could come off the bench. Brogdon can play either guard spot and play it well. You've got Ayton, Time Lord, Grant, Murray, Knox, Camara, Walker, Moses, Badji, Rieth, Butler as bigs. Is Justise still on our payroll? He'd be a guy I wouldn't be averse to bringing back in a playing-mentor role. Grant's a 3-4, Murray, Knox also combo forwards. Walker is a 4-5. Butler's a 3-4-5. Matisse and Rayan are 2-3s We're actually a bit light in the backcourt now, especially if you figure Shaedon's going to play some time at 3. If the Blazers hold Brogdon at least until the deadline, the second unit's Brodgon, Shaedon, Matisse, Murray and Walker (well, with some of the starters staggering minutes and playing with them here and there). That's actually ... not bad.
