Given recent history - and Cronin was a part of that - my confidence in the FO is close to zero.
:deadhorse: I know some fans don't want to hear it, but even one season of him playing at Kentucky would have told us more than all the high...
For the record, the "incorrect outcome" is wasting a high pick on a flop. I hold to the quaint notion that more info means better decisions and a...
Interesting. You see the Ivan Rabb situation purely from his side of things. I see it from the perspective of the fans of the team that would have...
I pretty much agree, but the question was what would make more sense when combined with the Grant trade. If the Blazers are really still in win now...
If they are serious about winning in the next 3 years, Davis or Sochan are closer to contribution than Sharpe. If they are looking for a long-term...
Yes, and no. Personally, I just want the team to pick a lane. If they are determined to try one more futile effort to contend with this foundation -...
A rookie deserves a fair chance to earn minutes.
:comppunch: Maybe not so much.
It is kind of funny hearing them posture over taking the 2nd biggest gamble in the top 10.
I don't honestly know. The conventional wisdom seems to be that he is not a very good rebounder for a PF, but that that is where his defensive value...
Not trying to be a contrarian here, but summer league is such no-defense-rat-ball I'm not sure it will tell us much more than that he is (hopefully)...
I don't fully agree, but I understand your feelings on the matter.
Elephant in the room time: doesn't a deal like that tie us into a huge, long contract for what is becoming the least important position?
Someone posted a chart recently about Grant's playing time. He very rarely plays any position but PF - which makes he and Randle pretty redundant.
Grant's looming contract negotiations could also screw up any long term plan.
So, just a repeat of RoCo and Nance. Maybe not as bad, but the same broken plan. Giving up future assets, even mediocre ones, for non-impact vets is...
Then why trade for Grant? Why trade a future asset for a "win now" player (who won't actually help that much) and then turn around and draft a guy...
You know what? Just fuck it. This team and this forum are not worth the energy.
Are you disagreeing that Grant is unexciting, or that he could be a rental?
