    Jrue will be our Greg Anthony. I bet Scoot starts but Jrue finishes.

    I can’t wait until we have a new owner and they fire Cronin and Chauncey. Delusional.

    Does it make sense even if there is another destination?

    Welcome to Portland again Jrue! The end of the Olshey roster choices is here...good luck to Ant, Boston can use him...apparently we are going to make defense great again! Now watch us sign Brogdan in free agency.

    One expensive AF mentor.

    This also indicates that they’re not drafting a guard.

    It can, depending on what the 3rd team is, and what is coming back.


    btw, ESPN trade machine already has him on the Blazers.

    Well if the trade is already finalized then Jrue can only be traded by himself, his salary can't be aggregated with another player's from our team going out to another team. We can definitely trade him on his own though, just like we did to the Celtics when we acquired him from the Bucks.

    If the trade isn't finalized then we can do whatever we want to augment the trade but the Celtics would have to sign off on it.

    Those of you who wanted the vets gone at any expense are getting their wish.

    This will hopefully clear the way for the young guys and provide veteran leadership. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dealt again before the draft.

    Dude, I can't believe you asked me if I was high because I think Dame's contract is the worst in the league... while you continuously post drivel like this.

    Keith Smith is dating the Blazers are now Hard Capped. I still don't get why we included picks to take on a bigger salary and if that also hard caps the Blazers, this doesn't seem too good.

    Assuming Scoot still starts, I kind of like it. I give two shits about 2nd round picks. Face it, the league was just as aware of Ants short-comings as we all were. I wish him the best though, seemed like a good guy. Obviously don't love Jrue's contract but I'm going to hold out hope this means Joe's planning on getting out from under Grant's contract somehow. In the meantime, we significantly upgraded the PG position and now Sharpe is our clear shooting guard.
