This is a great example of why, if you can't get a Flagg or Bailey in the lottery, drafting a guy like Knueppel makes sense for the Blazers. He's the...
Flagg played fantastic today against Baylor, but it's worth noting that a couple of the tall shooters that have been mocked to the Blazers in drafts...
I see that and I think I'd go for Essengue who can be that kind of defender or close to it but has so much more upside on the offensive end.
Agree they need a shooter. Disagree that it's Jase because he's a PG, and we have that position filled. There are several really, really good wing...
Deni is perfect for the modern NBA in that he doesn't need a position. He can play wherever you need and do at worst a serviceable job. I think...
I don't mind him taking the 3s, but I don't like it when I feel he settles for them. There are 2-4 times every game where I can tell he's made up his...
He had that putback dunk and then all of a sudden got too excited, lost his poise, tried to follow it up with a couple of highlight plays and then...
Because just getting the ball and shooting it almost immediately is a lot easier than navigating through defenders and teammates to get to the hoop...
Who are you talking to? There's no one there.
If that was true those teams would have traded for Deni in the offseason. He was available and a lot of contending teams had more to offer than the...
The odds always are against everyone. Next draft you've got more elite talent at the top. If the Blazers are playing with this Scoot, Shae, Toumani,...
My ideal scenario is to finish just outside the play-in and move up through the lottery. If you don't get the first pick, then I'm probably drafting...
You mean taking Bailey over Flagg or that Dybantsa and Peterson are better prospects than Flagg? I think a lot of draft guys probably would agree...
This is where we disagree: I see Deni as building through the draft. I don't think building through the draft is just picking guys if the guys for...
Truthfully, I still think the year to be bad is next year. I think that's where you get the real players that can be difference-makers. I'd be...
OK, if you aren't saying adding Deni was a bad move, then why are we debating? I said ESPN was doing awful analysis by saying acquiring Deni was a...
I didn't say you were panicking. The whole subject of my post to which you replied was that Deni Avidja wasn't a win-now move. It was a shrewd move...
When we're at a point where we're arguing that Deni Avidja was too good a player to trade for if you're rebuilding, then we might as well be...
It doesn't, though. It's getting a player who can be a foundational player in the window that I think too many people here are fixated on. Getting a...
Anyone who says trading the 14th pick in the draft for Deni Avidja, a player that was 23 years old, was a "win now move" doesn't deserve to be called...
