    That's the LAL pick. They have their own, protected 1-14 (15-30 to CHA)

    We cleared the books of mediocre, often injured and overpaid players. The fans here thinking any Blazers (not named Lillard) could get a Jrue Holiday or Vucevic haul are deluded.

    Give Chauncey and Dame a chance this summer to maybe entice a player or too.

    So if it’s top 5 does that mean the next year we get it?

    The silver lining is we 'should' have 2 Lottery picks. We need to get REALLY lucky.

    Ahhhh OK.

    that makes it a bit better I suppose. I don't like the top 5 protection for this.

    Bruh.

    Lillard’s never been able to do that. Not sure why it would start now unless we just massively over pay for mediocre players.

    NA-W and Keon Johnson are more players on rookie contracts. Josh Hart and Eric Bledsoe are pros who play defense (as does Winslow, if he's ever healthy). Lots of people to buy into what Coach is selling

    I just looked at the free agent class for forwards. Oh boy, LOL. I wonder who they think they’re fooling here.

    The Pels now have 3 top tier offensive threats. Zion is impossible to stop, Cj is a tough stop and his fade away in the lane is brutal when he's on, and finally BI with his silly length and shooting is trouble for defenses. Could be an exciting team, especially if/when Zion comes back 100%

    Seriously need to stop following Fanspo. They didn't have NO's own 22 pick on their list. Sorry for the confusion.
