SMH. Another "win now" trade for a team no where close to contention. With Grant on board can the team re-sign Simons and Nurk without going into...
I agree it is a problematic strategy long term. Short term? Is spending a 1st rd pick on someone like Johnson really worse than trading picks for vet...
Pick only one? Most, if not all, of those guys will be on the board at 7 and at least half of them will be better than Grant.

7th pick traded to Detroit.
45 years ago today my wonderful wife made her greatest mistake and married my grumpy butt. Somehow, we are still together after all these years....
Best wishes big guy.
Not to be snarky, but do you remember a guy named Roy who was praised for saving the team post jailblazers?

How do you win 55 games with 2 of your top 3 players on the bench is suits?
There is no 7th pick. It is a delusion. A triumph of hope over experience.
On the contrary. When you tried to milk that bull it was hilarious!
But Scotch is better for the soul!
Pick traded for vet. On the off chance they keep the pick: Daniels.:sad: Darkhorse Duren
So if they were both available at #7, would you take him over Duren? They are both projects, both highly athletic, but we have actual info on how one...
And this is why I want nothing to do with Sharpe. With Griffen we at least have history of him playing 5-on-5 against real competition.
If we throw in a future 1st maybe we can trade him for RoCo!
If the comp was David Robinson we wouldn't be having this conversation as he would be the consensus #1 pick.
Not to be a sour-puss, but it is tough to be excited about the Blazers auditioning guys for another team. BTW, I'm not sure Duren will be BPA at #7...
Pardon me if I get up on a soapbox here. Player development isn't about "patience". It is about growth. It is about natural progress. As frustrated...
