    Touchy! So I guess you should describe my trade as "1 draft pick, a 6'8" center and space we can use as an asset going forward" then.

    Yes, that's precisely what it is, for presumably our two best veteran trade assets. We should be able to do better. 1 pick is not enough.

    Cronin had to trade, waive, trade ~13 different Blazers, then add 2 picks to acquire then re-sign Jerami Grant.

    I think the Blazers GM is basking in the fruits of his labor, and has 0 intentions of trading Jerami Grant.

    Sadly, you're probably right.

    FWIW, the messaging out of Portland media that is connected to the FO (Marang, Highkin, etc.) over the past month as been this:

    - Blazers are not looking for draft picks. If they trade any of these guys, Grant, Malcolm, Tisse etc. they are looking for players that can conceivably be part of the future. A name that was thrown out was WCJ - not that it is who they would be targeting but just that kind of player, young-ish, can already play. The Blazers are not looking to take a step back on the court. The consensus is that they're not just going to move these guys for packages where picks (especially 2024 or late firsts) are the main prize. There will have to be a player component and right now that deal is not out there.

    Could be posturing, sure, but that is the line of thought.

    WCJ just thumbed someone in the eye last night. It dropped the dude like a stone. Got a flagrant for it. That's good dirty basketball, WCJ would be a great Blazer.

    I'm really hoping that Jerami isn't actually out with a back injury tonight both because I don't want the guy to be in pain and also because I really want it to be because he's being traded.

    A draft pick can’t be part of the future?

    Hearing we’re sending Grant to Kings for HFB, Lyles, and a 2026 pick.

    1 draft pick, zero useful players, and no freed up playing time for our guards? That would be quite disappointing.

    Lyles is a 6’9” forward. I think he and HFB together are worth more than Grant.

    I'm aware of who Lyles is. He's an also-ran. A throw-in. Especially on a team that is trying to develop several other young forwards. He's not worth acquiring

    Not sure why I’d trade Grant and not Brogdon.
