    It makes no sense cap-wise, but they did get better for next year because they now have a backup PG. (regardless if it's Scoot or Jrue)
    Jrue, Shae, Grant, Deni, and Ayton. With Camara, Scoot, Clingan, Thybulle, and Coward off the bench. Not bad

    I don't think they are trading Scoot.

    I think this trade signals that the youth movement is over but I'm pretty pessimistic right now.

    Deni/
    Camara/
    KAT/Clingan

    Gotta move Grant for some bench, preferably a shooter. I mean we’d make the playoffs I think.

    Yikes. I don't like it.

    Bane is traded for multiple 1sts and we cant even get 1 for Simons? We have to give picks for a 35 year old aging point guard owed 100 million into his 38 year old season.

    We aren't close to competing. Play in here we come!

    Might as well. Looks pretty fucking rudderless right now. Maybe we can give away Scoot, Sharpe, Deni and the firsts we are sitting on.

    If they keep Holiday, this is one of the dumbest Portland trades ever. The Blazers are nowhere close to being a championship team, and Holiday will not get them there.

    Maybe the Blazers don't want a full youth movement. Hoping to get a Timberwolves Mike Conley dynamic.

    No one making 30+ mil in the NBA comes off the bench. Jrue would start.

    First thing I thought when I saw this trade was Houston. Don't know enough about salaries and trade rules, but Houston would be the perfect place for Jrue.

    I mean, I get not liking his contract, but the product on the floor? We are most definitely close to competing.
