Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #6 - BLAZERS VS THUNDER - NOVEMBER 1, 2024 - 7:00 PM - KATU 2.2, BLAZERVISION

I don’t think Grant has lost value. We gave up a TPE and a pick. I bet we could easily get that much back.

Nobody wanted Simons when we were shopping him. I don’t think his value is better or worse.

Ayton wasn’t seen to have a ton of value either. Maybe his value is down, maybe not, but he’s a starting caliber center on a soon to be expiring deal. Plus we got Toumani.

 

He isn’t Dame and he so badly wants to be, but he’s soft. He’s a wall flower. Shaedon is also quiet but at least he goes to the rack like a fucking dude.

 

Pull the trigger

 

Oh I agree that he's not a good #1 option I'm just explaining why he's suddenly not shooting well compared to years past. There's been plenty of times where NBA stars have suddenly had a slump and almost every time it's them adjusting to not sleeping through the night with a newborn. They all adjust eventually.

 

I don't think we'd get a TPE with a FRP. I think we'll have to take one a contract we don't like and maybe get a guy that has even more limited positive value than Jerami in order to score a first that will convey.

 

This could easy be post from 2019.

 

Any word on his return? I haven't heard a thing since preseason. Cant wait for his return!

 

It is really cool to see a well coached team.

 

Im falling for the kid. His defense is impressive. He is like Camara light but way better on offense.
and he is a Frenchy!! Whats not to love? Lol

 

Great post. This place can get unbearable at times. Three or four posters day in day out 650 times a day posting the same shit with angst screaming at the forum in damn near every thread about how pissed they are that so and so hasn't been traded yet. Like everyone here doesn't know clearly they are, and have been, pissed.
Like lighten up on the forum fellas.
shit, I'm one of the outliers who thinks this team is better than most and i don't freak out then they lose. Especially after claiming they need to lose!!!
Lol.
One can still be a fanatic without pushing their negative dissapointment down everyones’ eyeballs all day every day.

 

Ha! Beat me too it, but totally agree Camara light with better offense.

 

Boy i completely forgot Deni

 

when Simons has a hot stretch later that season, trade him ASAP

 

you could get so much value and booster the rebuild with trading Ant, Ayton and Grant

 

Pull the trigger

 

Ayton was ranked 48th or such last year and similar the year prior but now is outside the top 100. Grant and Ant are about 80/100 rank now but much better years prior.

 

That's why they shouldn't be here.

Jesus... Talk about 8 seconds...

 

I'm not sure that's true.

I'd guess message board fans just over-value youth and upside far more than front offices do.

 

Even cooler to watch that team get blown out (in the second quarter).

 

Second part, true, first part not true. At the moment there's a glut of players out there that teams want to dump (Zach Lavine, Kyle Kuzma) driving down the value of all of them, especially those like Ant and Ayton who are flawed and, like all three, who earn more than most contenders have to offer in trade. That's why Thybulle and Williams are more likely to get traded (if they ever get healthy).
