    Wow, I cannot believe Huerter fetched a first round pick, and from the KINGS no less which has to be their own.

    I bet they will still make a trade for a wing.

    I am so tired of the hate -- Do not get me wrong I can understand concerns about the roster just tired of the fans and I use that loosely that rip moves without giving any real reason .

    If ya want to hate without giving reasons -- basketball reasons -- please stop but if ya want to debate how the moves do not make sense etc that is fine but pure hate for lack of a better word is garbage.

    Am I wrong that we are not hard capped until GP2 is signed? No contracts get signed until 7/6 so can we not swing a deal beforehand and then sign him?

    We can swing deals beforehand, but nothing that takes us over the apron if we still want to sign him to that deal.

    I'm not a hater because i think our roster isn't even close to contend, unless Sharpe, Simons and Little explode

    Bledsoe can be combined with other players right? I see a lot of guys on the margins of our roster that can still be packaged together.

    Yep. Would have ideally saw him moved in the Grant deal. Hoping we still trade him but not seeing a realistic deal.

    told you last night, order of operations is irrelevant. if our last move triggers the hard cap, we still cannot go above 157 mil at the end.

    What is up with Jalen Smith? Do we have a way to get him?

    What do you mean there's no reasons.......

    We have (COUNT EM) 1..2....3....4....5....6...7 guards on this team?

    Dame
    Ant
    Hart
    Sharpe
    GP2
    Keon
    Brandon Williams?

    We blew up the team midseason last year because we were failing with a three guard lineup. What exactly are we planning on doing going into the 2022-2023 season?

    And they're not just guards...... they're short guards.

    Dame - 6'3
    Simons - 6'3
    Sharpe - 6'5
    Keon - 6'4
    Brandon Williams - 6'2
    Gary Payton II - 6'2
    Hart - 6'5

    In a league where length and switchability is king, we're fucking short.

    honestly don't see the point in shipping him out in the grant trade. it's not like we can use the TPE for anything else.

    That would make me feel a little better about our offseason.

    Lol I don’t hate Nurk, I just don’t suck him off like you do.

    He’s a fine player. Not worth the max. Worth about 12 mill in my eyes. That’s far from “hater”.

    I think I’ve gotten into more disagreements with Wiz than anyone else, so no clue how you came to that conclusion.

    This is a forum for Blazer fans. People who like the Blazers. I have no use for a Nurk fan. I'll just assume that your opinions on the rest of the team are irrelevant and put you on ignore since you really offer nothing.

    Kind of cute. Shaedon seems super shy.

    I like Nurk. But, he’s often injured or not engaged and is a slightly above middle of the pack center in the league.

    I don’t think Ayton is much better right now. But he’s more available and young enough to come into his own
