    Below average shooting, below average rebounding, zero play making. Imagine being 6’11 250 with plus athleticism and averaging less than 7 rebounds for your career.

    I'd rather land a recent first-round pick center and hope he blossoms to be what Jarrett Allen turned out to be.

    A lot of that can be situation and fit next to Sabonis. He can block shots and scored 40 in a game this season.

    Yeah I’m not a Turner fan either. He’s a glorified Channing Frye.

    Ultimate tank trade. Those who are pro tank, I need your opinions:

    POR gets: Jones, Murphy III, Horford, Nesmith, Sateransky, 2022 LAL 1st, 2 BOS future 1sts, 2023 2nd (HOU, MIA, or DAL) from BOS, 2022 SAC 2nd from NOP, 2024 NOP 2nd

    BOS gets: Powell, Lewis

    NOP gets: CJ, Zeller, Brown, Snell

    I can see NOP being like BRK and overpaying for CJ, and they really need size right now, so Zeller as a throw in would be good for them as well. If you want to lose, take on Horford’s contract and try to get as many 1sts out of the Celtics as possible. Horford is only owed $14.5m in 2022-23.

    Team after the trade (with Dame out):

    Simons/Smith Jr
    McLemore/Nesmith/Sateransky
    Jones/Little/Murphy III
    Covington/Nance/Watford
    Nurkic/Horford

    McLemore gets a 2nd. Covington at least gets you your 1st back. Nurkic hopefully gets a 1st back from a team like Toronto.

    With the vets gone, that team should most likely be a very high lottery team right? But with Simons, Little, Jones, and Murphy III getting a bunch of minutes though, I’ll be tuning into as many Blazers games as I can.

    So theoretically, if we let go of all the vets, we could have our own 1st/2nd this year, all of our own 1sts in the future, as well as 5 future 1sts and 4 future 2nds.

    Watford is somewhere between the relevance of Blevins and Elleby.

    according to who, you? Lol. How can he be in between those two when he’s a regular part of the rotation?

    Players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, James Harden at this point in their careers don’t care about lottery picks. They want to win now. They don’t have time to be waiting on young up and coming players to blossom.

    yeah I’m almost certain that if/when the blazers get a lottery pick they will trade it for an established player. If they get a top 3 pick they may just use it for themselves, but other than that I wouldn’t spend too much time on prospects.

    Wonder what the asking price is on Mo Bamba. He’s a RFA after the season. Should be cheaper than Turner both in contract and asking price.

    Mitchell Robinson same thing. I like both as backups. I don’t like only having small ball options behind Nurk. Zeller will be a free agent, hasn’t been able to stay healthy, and wasn’t that great of a fit to begin with.
