It might be semantics, but I think it's more doing due diligence than fielding offers. The Spurs aren't trading that pick. But, hey, the Celtics tell...
I think he's right, though. I live close to Penn State and have some connections there. I don't think the USC/UCLA ever was the end game so far as...
True, but with a couple of caveats. First, if George doesn't force that trade, OKC doesn't blow up their whole team and rebuild. They remain a top...
We've got a lot of threads and posts about Dame's comment about not wanting to play with more young players and having to wait for them to develop to...
By saying three first rounders, I'm speaking in actual compensation. We used two first rounders to trade up for Collins the first time, now 1-Eye is...
Because a big part of the reason it doesn't make sense is the compensation. See above. And it should matter to us because they are assets because...
I think as things continue to come into focus, that's what we're going to see. The Celtics, Raptors and Nets, thinking the Blazers are being forced...
I don't have to write a book about that. You're the one that just made a post about me making an emotional decision when I've actually included...
There'll be opportunities to surround Dame with veteran help. Or, at least, veterans ... it's the "help" part that's the issue. It's about getting...
You're bargaining against yourself.
There was no psychoanalysis in my post. It was a breakdown of the weaknesses of your process and likely outcomes. Tying that to your state of mind...
I don't think that's entirely true, though. There is a matter of sample size to be considered. There's also a matter of commensurate availability to...
But you can't just do the Jedi mind trick on other teams and make them trade us their all-stars/all-NBA players for appropriate value, either....
Unless it's a sucker bet. It's one thing to take gambles. That's playing the lottery. Then there's studying trends and facts and taking the gamble....
I don't know if I'd call that hitting a nerve. It just seems like you've got blinders on about the guy. First, you want to give up far too much for...
You get it. When you boil it down, that's really the only sane decision one can come to. This stuff Dame's said is static. White noise. You have to...
If the Blazers sunk five first-round draft picks into Zach Collins the franchise should be contracted from the NBA.
That's kind of a very glowing analysis of what he does with no acknowledgement of any of the issues with his game, isn't it? That's my point,...
Yeesh. No, thanks. I don't know what that even does for the Blazers. It seems like a directionless move, IMO.
Sure. We gave up too much to get him the first time. Why not give up too much to get him again?
