    With the impending sale, this team appears to be abandoning the youth movement and rolling with over paid, aging vets that can get them 41 wins. Fools gold.

    Can someone please buy this team with a championship vision.

    Please.

    I only have so many years left in this world.

    Not for a championship. I'd love to be wrong. I don't see it. There are at least 5 or 6 players that were in the finals better than anyone on our team.

    Those picks weren’t going to amount to shit.

    The salary cap gets really fucking complicated after this year. One thing that could save them is if they package Sharpe with Jerami for a starter upgrade. I don't see a target though.

    The deals aren’t done. Take some pills and relax. The same kind of shit was bitched about when POR got Deni and Tou. Nobody even knew who Tou was.

    Have you noticed how almost every trade Portland makes is kind of a head-scratcher? We can’t believe how much it sucks at first, and then we spend days trying to convince ourselves that it might be a smart move after all, and we’ll just have to wait and see.

    I’d love to see the Blazers make one clearly and indisputably brilliant trade before I die.

    I think KAT is coming, not a huge fan of him but we need scoring.

    I hope you're right. I'm not holding my breath though.

    We've just gone into too many seasons under Joe (all three of them) with what seems to be a half built roster... it's seemed fucking aimless and this move by itself does nothing to disrupt that aimlessness.

    Last year we made a trade a couple days before the draft - and basically had zero changes over the next 12 months.

    This roster today plus our pick might very well be what we have opening night.

    Shortsighted, but this move is to free Scoot and Shaedon.

    Just months ago you had fans saying they'd rather have the #14 pick than Deni.

    Talk about delusional.

    If you lose sleep over random ass 2nd round picks, that’s on you.

    If we were going to trade for KAT - Jrue makes way more sense as a teammate than Ant.

    I'm not sure that KAT would work here. If we don't have to give up our youth or picks Id try the experiment though.
