    I don't think Ayton and OG are good enough to win a championship with Scoot and Sharpe unless Scoot and Sharpe become hall of fame level talents, and even then I think the Blazers have a greater chance of ending up with a better starting frontcourt by playing it slowly, thus maximizing their odds.

    Whatever his measurments are, if he doesn’t get 12 strokes a game, we don’t need it.

    We need 12 good strokes a game.

    worth the listen. highkin is the best Portland media person at the moment. But he provided a great summary of the situation and Portland's POV, but nothing earth shattering here.

    I did also enjoy Toronto's perspective with the parallels of OG in Portland to Bridges in Brooklyn.

    Highkin isn't on for the entire show and a lot of it is just rehash. The best stuff is at the beginning.

    good grief I'd love it if Portland could pry Barnes from them in a package for Dame. He impresses me every time I watch Toronto. He can defend most anyone, has superior athleticism & is such a solid complimentary player in his approach. Winner.

    yeah, I'm retired so I have time. But I wouldn't spend it on a 76 minute podcast...not when there are youtube videos on ships crashing, monkeys watching magic tricks, and when there are 743 categories on pornhub

    Feel like if you're posting this, ahem, package, you should re-order Thaddeus and Gradey with someone in between to avoid a visit from the FBI.

    Paul George: “As for as the Lakers, I wanted to go to LA. They didn’t make that happen, they didn’t put nothing together. And so, that’s in the back of my mind. That they didn’t trade for me."

    Who was the last team that won a title without HOF talents?

    Reality is, one or the other (probably both) needs to be a hall of fame talent if we are ever going to win a title.

    OG as the centerpiece of Dame trade is the saddest thing

    And yet, it's far better than Miami can offer...

    probably, although if the Miami offer included their 2028 & 2030 picks, unprotected, and a 2029 swap, unprotected, those could be extremely valuable picks

    of course, that's 5-7 years away and it's not guaranteed Miami has offered that

    Yeah, those picks are probably too far out... or maybe not. Our guys would be 23-25ish...

    So maybe...

    I don’t think so. He has more value than Herro, Jaquez or Jovic.

    How do we get over the hurdle of trying to convince OG that we won’t ever do to him what we are doing to Dame right now?

    Doesn’t matter what you say, it’s hard to erase the fact that we traded role players to their preferred destinations but traded Dame for the most assets.

    A 26 yr old wing who is borderline all-nba defense while shooting 38% from 3 on high volume. How sad is that.
