?

What are you hoping for with this pick?

  1. Draft Scoot and keep him

    27.6%
  2. Draft Miller and keep him

    28.6%
  3. Draft someone else at 3 and keep him (please specify)

    3.1%
  4. Trade down, but still draft in the lottery

    10.2%
  5. Trade the pick for a starting forward

    30.6%

    Oh, thank goodness! I didn't think we had those 1st rounders anyway.

    But what does it say that I thought we may just be dumb enough to execute a deal like this? #littlefaithinBlazersFO

    Guys, please check the handles of tweets. Some of these are obviously fake.

    Charlotte can pound sand if they think they can squeeze Portland. Blazers take who is left at three between Miller/Scoot. Period. No need for a three team with them. I doubt Portland cares that much between the two.

    I thought it was BS but this is Cronin but then I looked and this was reported half a day ago and nothing had been reported by the national media but for a second I was about to lose my mind

    Yeah I've thought of this before with Ant+3(Scoot) trades... there are almost no teams that would want both of them. Now an Ant and Miller duo makes much more sense for a rebuilding team.

    That's exactly what I did. I also almost fell for a post from "@WpjESPN". The font on my phone is too small.

    Other than making picks I don’t see Joe doing anything with Ant or Nurk etc. It will be a quiet deadline IMHO. Just don’t have any assets that are highly valued other than Shaedon. 25m a year so Ant can come off the bench? Who wants to do that? Ant stays a Blazer. Same for Nurk.

    I think plenty of teams would want him....for another bad contract. He makes about 4 million too much next year. That's doable

    not sure what it is but something tells me that Miller will be ok but not great. Probably safe bet if he’s there but I’m a risk taker so I would be ok with Amen. Really liked his interview and demeanor.

    Totally disagree about Ant, I think he has positive value... maybe slightly overpaid but that's my opinion having seen him play out of position for most of the season. Nurk has negative value but we have two picks in the first round of this draft and the second one could be used to move Nurk for pieces with slightly positive value. I'm not saying both guys are for sure gone or either of them but I'm saying that your certainty is misplaced but then again lately your more negative than @AldoTrapani and it just seems like you've been trolling.

    Sorry for my negativity. I was just hoping to hear some rumors etc by now. I am positive that Scoot is the man however. POR is just between a rock and a hard place to build around Dame while not screwing up the future of the team.
