How would a team get six first round picks in two years without acquiring picks from other teams?
We ARE the Chernobyl of the NBA, haven’t you noticed? Dame couldn’t get a single all-star to come here in 10 years. No big-name free agents come...
Really? In 2024 we’d get the first round picks of Charlotte and Toronto (plus the Spurs’ pick), and in 2025 we’d get the first round picks of Atlanta...
That’s the last thing I care about. Players around the league want nothing to do with Portland anyway.
They should take it off the table. The Lillard trade request changes everything.
We’d have to take back other pieces, and possibly get other teams involved, but adding Lillard and Grant to Wemby would give the Spurs an “instant”...
Yep. It can’t be that hard to find a forward who rebounds.
I don’t think he’s the right guy to lead anything.
As long as we’re talking about changes, can we also get a real coach who can teach our young players the game?
Interesting. A long, thoughtful and well-written piece on Lillard that never mentions his woeful defense.
Was this the plan all along? Curious minds want to know. I suspect Cronin knew he couldn’t swing a big trade for the right supporting players, so he...
And Scoot plays defense.
Thanks for everything Dame, but about that trade request to Miami . . . screw you. You can’t expect to flee Portland and get your dream trade...
This is the curse of Portland. They can never swing a big trade. It’s beyond them—and it’s why they’ll probably never win another championship. In an...
This is insane. Cronin is in way over his head.
Lillard is staying. That’s what he and his agent told Cronin.
Will we keep him or trade him?
Just like Lillard?
Hmm. Not sure that would drive up their trade value, since they’re already the consensus picks at #2 and #3.
If that were the case, they wouldn’t have brought back Henderson and Miller for a second look. That’s the kind of thing you do when you’re trying to...
