I agree. And I’m probably wrong about what Edgecombe will become should he become a Trail Blazer. Back to Coward (11) and Demin (16). To compensate...
He's a SG now, and soon enough he'll have the ball being 6'4 and athletic, scoring from 3 levels. He'll guard PGs on the Blazers. His handles and...
Top 5 -- is not available unless Portland overpays, and I don't know if it's worth it to do so. Edgecombe as a 2-way PG with good size. He would be...
I like Coward. I like Carter Bryant. Both have some unknowns because of court time for Bryant and level of competition plus half a dozen games for...
You’re not wrong. And that’s not a back-handed compliment at all. Demin is a risk. IMHO … he has 3 fixable issues: 1. His strength. His frame at...
If Portland traded Ant to the Magic in a package to get both 16 and 25, then Jase Richardson at 25 is good by me. He’s Payton Pritchard size with 2”...
I did forget to mention Dallas. With Kyrie, AD, Klay, PJ, Gafford and Lively, they’re definitely a win-now team. Their picks moving forward are not...
OKC looks like a team built as sustained contenders for the title. It’s too early for me to say they’re a dynasty in the making. Too much luck with...
A fundamentally good question. Who will be off the board when the Blazers pick at 11? Someone falls a bit or even out of the lottery who was getting...
I liked Daniels > Sharpe, but I have no issue with the pick as Sharpe’s upside is seriously good, still. I liked Amen > Scoot, but I have no issue...
Clingan, Toumani, Deni — the keepers. Any media, League, X, forums with trade proposals and chatter and conversations can leave them out. 1. Getting...
I understand the preference of trading the 11th pick plus assets to get an upgrade. To put that aside for a moment and not even really speak about...
Cap gurus on this site have explained timing, dollars, years, current contracts, league $$$ expectations … it’s a lot. Arguments have been made on...
I prefer who Schmitz wants — cop out, admitted. IMHO, I’m for Demin and Essengue on big swings. I’ll be surprised if Jakucionis falls to 11. Carter...
1. The Spurs getting #2 and Harper is a pain in the @$$. I don’t like the Spurs at all. Never have. Respect to ownership and some players but have...
48 hours. The luck that’s in team building. The skill and hours staffs put in during multi-year analyses of prospects. Good luck, Monday, Mr. Cronin,...
Zion’s abilities, skills, and talent are obvious. Unless it’s a trade involving 2 of Ayton, Grant, and Simons — no picks — then I’ve come back around...
Good question. Two. Toumani and Deni. In baseball terms, getting Toumani was an inside the park home run while Deni was a double that may stretch...
One week and counting … Prayers and offerings to the basketball gods … Go Trail Blazers!
There is a view on this board that a Grant trade would require adding assets (a pick) to get it done. I disagree with that opinion. Ant’s value and...
