    Maybe. But no one knows. He never plays. He had some injuries but even when he’s healthy Kerr doesn’t play him. I don’t hear people around the team say he’s a bust. He has been available to play in 43 games this year and played 20, for 12 mins per game. He came into the league as a teenager. He doesn’t get any time.

    All this talk and watch Sell Low Joe do nothing.

    Expectation is a resentment waiting to happen so it's your own fault if you get worked up.

    I would gladly swap GPII for Wiseman - even if it is a big bust. It's the low risk/high reward type moves we need to be looking at.

    doesn't seem like there really has been much talk. We always hear about interest for this player or that player

    the most substantial chatter has been about Vanderbilt. Actually, most of the chatter has been about Hart

    I think Cronin is sitting at the poker table with a 2, 3, and a 6, and he's trying to fill the gutshot straight by drawing a 4 & 5. He simply has bad cards, some of it his fault, most of it not

    He dealt a face card for no reason last year with Powell.

    He went out and signed GPII and I have no idea what value he has around the league.

    Yeah, it is fun to come up with all these trade scenarios, but in the end, it just makes it worse for the fans who actually believe they will happen.

    keeping Powell made little sense. My hunch is the instructions out of Seattle made it nearly impossible to keep more than one of CJ, Powell, and Ant. Keeping two was going to have too much money invested in undersized SG's

    why the fuck he signed Payton I have no clue

    And he's on the river. Never chase a straight on the river. Especially, a gutshot straight.

    I disagree. I think he's on a good contract and he's a starter quality shooting guard. We shouldn't have dealt him for nothing.

    He's an undersized SG! Now it's ok to have one?

    I was thinking more about using him as a trade chip last summer or this year.

    John Hollinger (the Athletic) is reporting that the Warriors are willing to move their younger, non-rotation players for bench help. Wiseman, Moody, Baldwin, etc. FWIW, Draymond Green would love to have Payton back.

    Why is everyone always picking on @BigGameDamian? I like his posts.

    I take Wiseman too. He would fit what Billups what his center to do

    Fully expect an Olshey type of deadline:

    *Moves around the margins
    *Nothing

    I expect fans to whine and moan a lot even though most fans know the Blazers do not have much to work with to begin with and THAT is mostly on NeO so if ya want to spew venom aim it at him over Cronin.

    I think there is a chance the Blazers make a move and sure it might be a little one but trying to trade a Nurk during the season will be tough
