    Can you take back a proposed trade?

    Yes, that's true. Let me restate: a backup behind a 25 year-old who is our highest-paid player and with whom he can't be on the court at the same time since they are both only capable of playing one position.

    Bettering on incompetence. Very smart.

    Pretty sure that I read somewhere that DA prefers the PF spot and considers it his natural position. Twin Towers?

    Stop thinking as if that 25 year old is in any plans longer than 2 years.

    He might be happy to do this. Going to be really interesting to watch how this plays out.

    I mean Ayton has said he's preferred position has always been PF.

    So you're telling me not to be disppointed, and now you're telling me not to worry about the roles our lottery pick and top-paid player are going to have?

    Boy, you sure have a lot of opinions about what I should think.

    You're free to be disappointed. But your concerns seem pretty specific to next year. So maybe you think the team will be good?

    well, they are the management team that coveted Ayton for 2 years and he's no shot blocker and rim protectorlast

    last season, with Nurkic and Eubanks, the Blazers were 2nd in the NBA in opponent FG% at the rim

    this season, with Ayton and Reath, Portland was 28th

    drafting Clingan to plug the holes in the paint and at the rim only makes sense if Ayton is traded

    They took a flyer on Ayton because he was basically free. They thought he would be better in a new situation. He wasn't, so you move on.
