I hated being in purgatory for the Dame era but I also HATED knowing we weren’t making the playoffs in October. Let’s see the other moves before giving up all hope.
True, but this just set them back. Portland is not gonna trade Jrue in his expiring season for anything. I remember RLEC and baking the cake. Unless there is a deal for Scoot Joe was fleeced. No good reason to relegate him to the bench behind Mr. Defense as that is all Jrue has going at this point. Hoping that Jrue is gonna be flipped, but if the paperwork is in to the league already, pitiful. Ayton for KAT sounds just as good now. KAT's defensive liabilities are covered by all the fabulous defensive players Portland now has, and if they keep pick 11 they can draft another 6'6 defender and try to win games 86-84.
I promise you Ant’s shoe game blows Jrue’s away. That’s the most important detail in this trade FAMs!
Not to be a whiny asshole but his thread was titled, "Ant Traded" I think. The other thread had this title... I doubt anyone is really bent out of shape about it though, just people complaining a little.
There would be a LOT of people joining me in the not watching the team until they prove something camp, thats for sure.
Then let him stay in NY. He's a difficult player to build a roster around and on a massive supermax. Id give them whatever Ayton Grant Timelord Thybulle type vets they want. NY traded 5 FRP for Bridges.... I think they want players not picks. Maybe Ayton for that Lakers package then all of that plus whatever from us to NY.
I'm here for the Cronin critiquing but let's not get carried away. That would be absolutely nuts on a few different levels. Maybe the first being adding Shaedon to Booker and Green wouldn't really sit right.
Doing this trade the day before the draft makes me think we're trading the 11th pick for a kat type player Edit: couple days before the draft
I'm not convinced he's starting. We just turned the worst defensive player in the league into one of the better ones. Seems like further commitment to defense but also having the flexibility to yield more assets for him like the first time around with Jrue.
