    Not sure if this has been posted yet (tough to keep up) but this is the NOP beat writer who said that a 3rd team could be getting involved

    Maybe we can get another guard or an additional conditional 2nd round pick three years from now!

    Oh... welcome to the team Josh Hart we're happy to have you, we just wish you came with one more first round draft pick.

    I have no idea what’s going on anymore.

    - clearing cap space (which never works here)
    - keeping Dame and paying him a gazillion
    - bunch of random mediocre players who have little value and can’t get value in return
    - keeping young good players
    - getting one pick back and our pick = youth movement but with Lillard? Why not trade Lillard and really speed up the process

    Also, where is this "21 mil TPE" number coming from?

    It's 16.8 mil + 100k. So not enough for Grant/Sabonis/Turner.

    The mediocrity of the younger players coming back is what irks me.

    We only get it if happens to be the 53rd pick, then if it doesn't convey it moves on and on to subsequent drafts and it only ever conveys if it's the 53rd pick.

    You are assuming a buyer who wants to be stuck in Portland. What if the buyer wants to be able to move the team? The first step is to lower the short-term value and torch the fan base. Drive the fans away, then you can convince the league to let you move. That was how SLC, OKC, and Memphis all got teams.

    There's also nothing saying that the Blazers couldn't package picks and move up if they don't get lucky with the lottery, especially considering that if the lottery holds to form they would have picks #8 & 9. That should easily put them in range for Smith/Banchero/Holmgren
