    The torture will be watching us start a 6'3" center.

    They got swept to a team without their best player.

    There was no chance they would get to the finals.

    Even if a 3rd team is involved there won't be major players shuffled around. More like sending Sato to a team where he may play, or Snell. Or offloading Zeller somewhere else. Minimal money moves.

    Sato for Boucher would be cool.

    Sato and a 2nd for Bagley makes a lot of sense.

    Relocations take time, especially if an arena isn't built in the target city. I am not saying it's a certainty the Blazers are leaving, I'm saying it's on the table. You don't think so? A new owner who likely won't be from here? It's not like Ballmer, who bought the Clips and relocated to LA. No billionaire is relocating to Portland, OR.

    Getting all the guards makes sense. We still have games vs Houston/Detroit/OKC/Orlando this year. They are trying to break the roster enough that Simons can't win regardless how much he scores.

    i think bled is gone regardless, at the latest this summer. putting him as my avi wouldn't have forced a trade to happen by Thursday.

    gotta respect the process. :)

    But seriously tho...:

    -Rolo
    -Plumlee
    -Stauskas
    -Curry
    -Stotts
    -CJ

    Every single one gone less than a year after they showed up as my avi.

    Your first thought on this trade would be about what others think in contrast to what you think. Lmao.

    The NBA has floated out a $2.5 billion franchise fee. The owners would rather make that off of Vegas and Seattle than allow the Blazers to move for nothing.

    There’s 0% chance the Blazers leave Portland
