Simons & Grant don't have the potential to net us the potential difference between a 12 pick and a top three pick. It would be nice if they could,...
That could definitely be a Ricky Davis thing...
It's definitely a long-term thing. We won't win a championship probably in the next 10 years. But we could be incredibly competitive for 20 years on...
And my problem with that is that is going to cost us some serious lotto odds... Which is unfortunate.
Nobody is suggesting that we shouldn't try to win eventually.
But the question is what quality of talent do you add during that 5 years? If we get an 11 and 12 pick the next two seasons instead of maybe a top 5...
I'm sure the Blazers were just knocking the Lakers door down trying to extract two picks out of them. Because that's how you get good value. I...
Nobody is suggesting we cycle out young players... I'm not sure where that is coming from.
I don't think we'd be able to tank for another 3 to 5 years. DC has been good enough that I think he might be a very good starter for a championship...
Didn't Miles fail because his knee blew up? He was on the rise here in Portland until he got injured... He was an idiot though...
Zach Lowe thought it was pretty serious... [MEDIA]
He was certainly right on the Ayton deal. He was pretty damned accurate on all the Miami BS, which has even been confirmed by Bill Simmons. I think...
How would we know if it's potential top 12 pick until the deal happens? They were almost certainly having talks and the Blazers were clear that...
Who was the source on the Ayton trade that wasn't happening until it did? Where there's smoke there is fire. Especially with Cronin. That's the way...
Nobody is suggesting that. It's frankly disingenuous to frame the conversation that way.
Lol. I guess nobody is talking to anybody until a trade happens then.
The game is dangerous. That's the nature of competition. Drafting high to build your team is less dangerous than not. That's just math.
We could have already traded Grant for a draft pick. We refused to do it.
We don't know. That's exactly my point. And exactly why we should have already traded Simons and Grant. We're trying to do this rebuild too fast....
We're going to need Stars to win big. We shouldn't be worrying about balancing the roster until we get stars. Once we have some stars we can balance...
