    Sorry for the victory lap haha.

    I was a big Jawun Evans and Kadeem Allen guy in 2017. Is that better?

    Wasn't meant to be shade towards Mike. Love the hire like I've made pretty clear already.

    That would be my personal preference.

    Oh..I get it.....
    IF they get some "good" then it's on Mike, but if it's "bad" it'll be on Joe.
    I see how ya roll....

    That doesn't seem to fit well with the current Blazers' management. Are you sure he's really sharp?

    He's come off that way but that's with producers and an ear piece in, with who knows what sharp person making him look that way. Maybe he's just a mouthpiece for the mothership but his analysis for a couple of decades on draftexpress were some of my favorites both before drafts and looking back at them after a year or two.

    It's official: https://www.nba.com/blazers/trail-b...sistant-general-managers-kevin-kinghorn-chief

    “We are ecstatic to welcome both Mike and Sergi to the front office,” said Cronin. “Mike’s extensive knowledge of evaluating talent both here in America and Internationally along with Sergi’s extensive background integrating strategy and analytics in the game of basketball are welcomed additions to the organization.”

    He will join the Trail Blazers in early July following the conclusion of his coverage of the NBA Draft on June 23 for ESPN.

    Contrary to the initial report, Woj confirmed yesterday that Schmitz will be with Cronin in Portland for the draft.

    I think you saw his role in the GP2 for 5 SRP trade. That's where his value is.

    Sure, it is great to have someone familiar with all the prospects, but just about any GM should understand trade assets and the option of tanking for a generational talent. I doubt having Schmitz in the FO is the difference between getting 7th or 5th pick in the draft.

    Paul Allen loved the draft, i'm sure he would have loved Mike Schmitz

    He was at the game the other night. Hadn’t seen him since November.
