Torey's capable of some really good content when he sets his personal feelings aside even somewhat. Here, he even seems almost human ....
And when did he become the arbiter of trade ideas? I enjoyed his silence the past few months. Oh and check the poll results on the original post.
If Depth is the reason, why would you choose someone who's injury-prone and can't be relied on for depth?
Nurkic is GONE. Blazer should not put a lot of assets/money into backup center. Some NBA teams don't even have a true backup center.
Draft a PF/C with top pick. Backup for Ayton now, future starter when Scoot & Shaedon hit their stride.
Depending on where our pick ends up, some of the best players so far are small forwards or power forwards.
I get SO tired of the constant trashing of small markets, especially in non-tropical climates. F*** that guy.
bpa, don't draft for "need". If this is a multi-year rebuild, the Blazers will "need" highly talented frontline depth.
I think NBA GMs can put their petty differences aside to make a deal that benefits their teams. And Miami can spin it by saying they got a player that fits them even better than Dame (The DameStopper) with fewer years at a lower salary for a lower cost. The media will eat up how Riley fleeced Joe in the end. That being said, f*** Pat Riley. I have hated him for decades and will hate him for decades more.
Yes... I'd assume most these front offices don't let emotions control their decision making. Hard to get to the top if you behave in that matter.
Three teamer. To GS: - Holiday To Spurs: - Paul - Trayce Jackson-Davis To POR: - Kuminga - McDermott - Birch - Osman - 2024 1st from CHA (lottery protected) - 2027 1st from GS (lottery protected)
Kind of annoying. Any team that traded for Jrue would either get assurances that he would exercise his 24-25 player option or would negotiate a deal extension.
