    The wolves look like a treadmill, a very very expensive treadmill

    Lol. He inherited a shitty roster bro. He stripped it to the studs. I honestly can't believe you can't see the obvious. Hopefully one day you will. Cause yikes.

    How in the world will the Lakers find a way to land Bronny??? Maybe they have a late 2024 2nd round pick?

    Bronny's heart condition will cause him to go undrafted, then he will sign with the Lakers.

    That extends him up through the 2026-7 season when he will be 32. At that point Dame will be 36, Middleton 35 & Lopez 39. Dame's contract also ends following the 2026-27 season, Middleton after 25-26 & Lopez 24-25.

    The first of the two pick swaps is in 2028... moouhh ha ha ha haaaa!!!

    No team was going to trade us a near All Star for Norman Powell and Robert Covington between the time Cronin took the job and the time Dame asked out.

    It would have been nice, but no player of that high of caliber has been dealt for similar value as we had to offer. If they had you might have reason to be slightly annoyed. But that's just not reality.

    I don't think anyone's saying that we should have received "a near all-star", but perhaps an asset that would have netted some residual value. At present, the Blazers have zero net return from that trade.

    Like what? We got a first round pick from the prior year... He didn't pan out. Like James Wiseman.

    A #21 that his team gave up on in less than a year is not much of an asset--exceedingly dissimilar from a #2 overall who had been injured, and who clearly didn't fit with his drafting team's timeline and style.

    Keep an eye on what's happening in Minny. Finding a KAT deal is absolutely paramount.





    Don't necessarily think we should be involved but he's gonna be traded for less than his value due to his contract.

    So how long do they have to cut salary? The beginning of next season? I would let it play out this season to see what happens. Maybe they try to dump Gobert instead. Only two years left after this year.

    I'd hate to hold the bag on that KAT deal but I'm always interested in bargain shopping, especially as a rebuilding team.
