Agreed about us needing an above average height all-star level player. Dame will never be that. Nor will Ant. And it's highly unlikely if will be a...
All good stuff once again. Interesting that you point to the Spurs who tanked one year, but kept David Robinson (didn't trade him). Toronto, who...
I appreciate all your repsonses and the effort beind them. I'm genuinely wanting to hear your take. You picked out some decent contracts/talent in...
Can you give me an idea of what assests you see coming back for Lillard and CJ?
Ok. So it wouldn't be a $50m savings as you wrote? How much do you really think it would be? Trying to get a picture of how much cap room we would...
So you're suggesting we trade Dame/CJ for expiring contracts and basically let them walk for nothing outside of cap space and picks? This is making...
Both excellent points. What the salary savings actually meants in terms of cap room and Portland's ability to land a top free agent, which we haven't...
I get where you're going with this, but some big assumptions have to happen for all this to work out. Why not trade Ant and the contract you see as...
How so? What would doing the opposite do? If you say keeping Dame will end up in us not getting to the finals in the next 5 years, I'd probably...
I reject the idea that just because Olshey decided Dame and some rejects was the only path, that it is the only path. I think it would be MUCH easier...
I agree that Ant's next contract will be of lower value than Dame, but his production is likely to be less as well. Ant is 2 contracts away from...
I bet Dame has more games at a top 75 level left in him than Ant will have in his entire career (and I don't hate Ant at all). I'm not a doctor, but...
I agree that Ant's next contract will be of a lower dollar amount than Dame, but his production is likely to be less as well. Ant is 2 contracts away...
I agree with this. No player on this roster is untouchable, including Dame. If we get calls for Luka, Morant, Giannis, etc. you take it and make the...
You certainly are not a Dame hater, I agree with that. However, the logic of saying you don't love the results of a top 75 player, so switching him...
What are the odds Ant or a couple lottery picks turn into a top 75 player in the NBA who decides to ride out 2 contracts before deciding to stay in...
You just want there to actually be something to a "worst team in blazers history" thread don't you?
Took me 0.01 seconds to answer Dame. Shocked so many people picked Ant. Guess this falls under the category that everyones favorite QB is the backup.
How many flagrant fouls does CJ have in his career? This is getting real old.
I agree... Listen to the guy (Barkley) who had us coming out of the West the last few years when the numbers suggested otherwise; he knows his stuff.
