    You're gonna be real fun this season, eh?

    You didn't want Scoot and now you're going to be debbie downer about anything he does?

    Embiid wasn't the real MVP.
    That is very clear.

    Nobody can know how many years it would set the team back. A Scoot Henderson or Damian Lillard aren't available in every draft, and only one team gets that player.

    If Herro were the Finals MVP, sure.

    I think you're the one who is joking! I have heard from the Miami media that Tyler Herro is one of the greatest basketball players who has ever lived. We're so lucky the Heat are offering him in a trade.

    Like the Blazers heading into the draft, the 76ers don’t have extra value players to trade … except Harden and they need to get that right … but with his expiring contract, he has some leverage.

    In a theoretical, not-happening-trade …
    Contracts and talent to Philly …

    Nurkic + Simons + Scoot = Embiid (age + games missed + not rising in playoffs as negatives … otherwise, an MVP)
    Nurk and Simons are both dollars and Simons + Maxey is some serious shooting. Scoot is talent. A couple picks go to the 76ers.

    Lillard, Sharpe, Thybulle, Grant, Embiid — a contender
    Walker, Murray, Rupert, Reath, Keon … spend that exception $8 million and tax-MLE on the bench.

    IMHO, this is serious — not a thing to wait on for Morey. Waiting until next year’s free agency is risking wasting a year of Embiid and him demanding a trade. Durant out. Harden wants out … AGAIN … Dame wants out. The timing of this for Embiid is a right now issue.

    That is not a contender imho. Zero and I mean zero bench. Embiid goes down , and he will, you are in big big trouble

    Where was I a Debbie downer about Scoot in this post?

    Saying “trading an unknown rookie for the defending MVP?”

    Or… how about the summer league game thread where Scoot played? What did I post that was “debbie downer” in there? Find me something or kindly STFU

    that’s right, I didn’t, so hop off my dick

    that’s a pretty damn good team I agree but it’s not far off from being a contender. Couple of vets and you have legit shot at title.

    What a moron...

    In what world is this:

    Herro
    Jovic
    Jaquez
    Two picks

    The same as:

    Scoot
    Sharpe
    Murray
    Nurkic
    Little
    Four firsts
    Three swaps

    To be fair, Herro/Jovic/Jacquez/2picks is much less than what most Blazer fans want for Dame. And Dame is also not quite on the same level as Embiid.

    I give Scoot, Nurk, Little and Murray with 3 picks in a heartbeat. Just would not let go of Sharpe.

    I'd rather move Ant, Nurk, Little, Keon and 3 first round picks plus some second round picks. Keep the rookies Ant and Nurk and Little have some salary to help the deal.

    Fentress is a fucking dick and not a real Blazers fan. He is basically saying POR is asking too much from MIA. He is Dame's mouthpiece.
