While I think the Blazers management's attempts have been very lackluster over the years and are primarily to blame, I do think it is at least fair...
Honestly, that's why I see the Paul George comp as best-fitting, as I remember a young Paul George being similarly withdrawn on the court as well...
I am not sure it matters so much whether Grant is specifically a 3 or 4... however, you had better surround him with length, rebounding, and at least...
Eh, he might if the money's right... the other teams with cap space aren't any better positioned than a post-Dame Blazers team (maybe OKC? Would they...
Yeah, if Dame's gone and "Joe punts," you immediately shift to sign-and-trade with Grant. But, if that can't be done over the summer, I still sign...
This is certainly a reasonable take. However, in the scenario that Dame requests out (for whatever reason), I still hope we re-sign (if...
As someone who is firmly in the "Blazers are likely to overpay Grant" camp, I will say that re-signing Grant for a higher-than-market value contract...
Probably not, no. That said, I do think it impacts the Blazers risk of losing him for nothing. In terms of pay, I am of the mind that the Blazers...
No team with cap space there that is remotely more appealing than Portland really. And frankly, I don't see Portland being outbid (whether we should...
It's really hard not to see Paul George on the offensive end, though Sharpe is probably the more explosive athlete. I think his build will more...
Actually, Shaedon's defense is still very underwhelming (which it should be at this point; he's 19). Maybe we don't shut him down, but we just don't...
Who knows? For his development? Maybe. Would we have won more games if he was starting? I doubt it. Plus, in our standard healthy starting lineup,...
A contender? Nah, they've improved on paper to be sure, but I'd still take five teams in the west over them.
If a Wiseman + draft pick(s) for GPII comes to fruition, it becomes clear that Cronin and team are playing for this summer and 2023-24 (whether that...
I'd assume that it would be GPII for Wiseman as the base (given that we now picked up Thybulle), but I would need some real draft compensation coming...
Not a chance that would have beat the Suns offer. You would have needed to include another first and likely Grant (who the Nets would assuredly try...
Yeah, the stakes of this trade are too low to be anything more than really a meh+ or meh-.
If we are only supplying 1 second and Svi (who I would have wanted to waive anyway), this is a nice gamble on Matisse. Edit: or is that 2024 Knicks...
Yep... you could probably only play that lineup in strictly defense end-of-game scenario, but assuming we have a timeout at the end of game to sub...
The Woj text was unclear. Are we supplying all the second round picks in this trade?
