Norm RoCo traded

CJ for Belvin Klevins and a 2027 second round pick.

 

I would do that, but forum rules say tantrum first and ask questions later.

 

- it makes the team worse
- gets them out of Norms contract
- gets them a 19 year old

listen it’s not good NOW. But I believe there’s more to it.

 

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he needed to get this done to do something else. No idea.

 

Well, you all were hoping the trade deadline would come early....

 

Blazers and Jody Allen should be investigated. This is as obvious as it gets. We just paid draft picks and Gary Trent to acquire role players to fill out the Clippers contender.

 

I can see them flipping Bledsoe & Nas for Jerami Grant in another move. Nice cash saving and potential for Pistons and Blazers would get a wing closer to Dame's timeline.

 

I didn’t see that in the tos!

 

Bill Simmons said Cronin had been shopping Powell strictly in a tax saving move. Knicks also wanted Norm but we wanted the longer term tax savings from Bledsoe.


KOC says hes confused about what we're doing.

He did mention we floated CJ for John Collins to ATL.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see Clips turn around and trade Roco tomorrow for more value. Why would they want to get into the playoffs without Kawhi?

 

So a lot of fans get excited about draft picks in this, One & Done , Era. Keon Johnson, can he play? He basically becomes the Blazers '21 draft choice to develop. He hasn't gotten much play, like many young draft choices. I can watch highlight videos for days. I want to know if he has serious game to develop at this level. If he does, could be a nice pickup.

RAPTOR has him graded out higher than Powell. His defensive score ranks ahead of every Blazer except Nurk (and previously Roco)

This is from a couple days ago. Still only 25.

 

What if Billups really thinks Keon can be a really good player but is stuck behind Paul George and Kawhi?

 

17% from 3 this year. 31% for his career, Aminu had over 33% for his career, and no one guarded him.

 

Kawhi and PG have been hurt all yr and Johnson has been getting dnp cds

 

Why?

 

I have to think that Billups had a lot of influence here, and now he better damn well make something good out of these two guys!

 

19 years old....
