What other sites are you seeing team grades? I'm struggling to find them online. I see some with individual pick grades, but no team grades.
Yeah, I read there was a report, but there were also tweets about lots of players being taller than they were, so it was nice to hear from a reliable source.
I think the report was from Givony and it was that both Portland and Charlotte measured him at that height.
I was initially pissed. But after Siakam told the Raptors he wasn't going to sign with a new team that traded for him, because he wanted to stay a Raptor, i moved on. Then Brooklyn said nokie dokie on trading Bridges. Time to move on. Pels decided to keep Zion, at least for now since he apparently is working out with CJ and looks thinner, i moved on. That being said, I want Joe to go after DeMar DeRozan because he can help this team get better NOW. I think a starting lineup of Nurk, Grant, DeRozan, Sharpe, and Dame is pretty damn good . Only Denver in the West is a giant. Every other team has warts and is too far over the cap. Phoenix will has spent 170 mil on 5 guaranteed contracts. None plays any sort of great defense either. So they're going to be a juggarnaut with 10 G League or new draftees to fill out their roster, unless the FIX is on. I doubt it. LA , Golden State, or any other team is not unbeatable . Blazers need to stay healthy 1st and foremost. But that's every team. IF Sharpe takes the next step, Scoot is all that's advertised, and Murray (ready made at 23 to produce) can be good contributor, and the Blazers add DeMar DeRozan to the starting 5, i like the Blazers chances next year to at least be in the mix in the West.
I think Ant and an unprotected pick (2024) will work for DeRozen and reconciliation of the pick owed for good. Blazers then have access to future capital for more moves TBD.
Yes it does. DeRozan's is one of the better defenders at his position in the League. Maybe the best Mid range shooter in the League. And he gets to the line a ton. Refs have always respected him. Ant's a shooter, that's it.
Huh, I guess I just see it in a different perspective. Or maybe it's just the timeline I hoped they would go down. I just didnt see a path where we get competitive in dames prime anymore. It sucks, and I still want dame here, and maybe we get the breaks to make a run. But we can't mortgage it and screw us for 10 years. Gotta think of the team more than (the greatest) star (we've ever had). And y'all know how I feel about Dame so maybe I'm just in the acceptance process lol
DeRozan is one of the better defenders in the league? https://pippenainteasy.com/2021/09/...r-derozans-defensive-liability-hard-overcome/
Maybe that's a product of being on the Bulls where the chemistry isn't that hot. But his overall game is way better than Ant's. 3 Pt shooting is the only area Ant is better.
And we add a decade to a key rotation player. And he's an expiring contract, so we either re-sign his mid-30's ass or lose whatever value he has entirely. Ick.
So... - More expensive than Ant - Is an expiring contract - Plays bad defense - Nine years older than Ant - Doesn't make 3 pointers We trade for him because... he's three inches taller than Simons and makes 3.5 more free throws per game*? Really? *I doubt he'd keep that up coming to Portland, since he'd probably be the third- or fourth-best option offensively, rather than with Chicago where he was basically tied with Levine for most FGA on the Bulls.
