Game Thread 2022-23 Game #62 - TRAIL BLAZERS VS PELICANS - MARCH 1, 2023 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ESPN

If it's not Wemby, it should probably be traded or we should trade Dame... that's all there is to that. I mean Brandon Miller is really nice in a way that is very similar to the guy that fucked us up tonight but maybe a little better.

 

Pffft really?

 

Not out of the question that Orlando passes us and we get a 10% chance at the #1

 

Why not Sign Miles Bridges… just do it Cronin

 

That'd be the best hope for the Blazers, but it makes me queasy because Cronin's trading ability is so erratic.

 

i am deathly afraid of the knee stuff too, but this is unequivocally the best prospect since lebron.

guys like Oden and Chet don't even come close to being the kind of prospect Wemby is.

if we ever get lucky in the lottery again, we get a bunch of priests to bless Moda while burning sage in the entire portland metro area and pray to the bball Gods while drafting him.

can't pass on him even with all our history.

 

Right on par with most of your posts. If you take that as a personal attack I'm not giving you enough credit.

 

this goes with that:

 

id keep an eye on miami. any chance at all that bam and/or jimmy become available, i'd make Grant/Simons/Nurk all available in a trade along with multiple picks.

 

We need to go back to Jailblazers and start beating up teams again

 

Oh we will have to retain him and we will have to get another forward that's a better rebounder than him and unless we fire Chauncey we also need to pick up a mobile starting C.

 

Yeah. I don't think that trade makes the Blazers much better than they are now.

 

3.5 games out of 5th. Come on Blazers, you are so close without trying.

You can do this!

 

a mobile starting C would be a good idea with, or without Billups as coach

Nurkic is too paint-bound, too inconsistent, and too injury-prone to be the starting C Portland counts on

 

Trying would be us cutting Knox and signing Noel tonight.

 

for the purposes of a tank:

Portland is bad enough, and poorly coached enough, that they don't need to shut down Dame to keep the losing alive. But they sure don't need to be playing him 38-40 minutes a night like they have lately

 

Shy-tank

 

bam is pretty much the most ideal fit next to dame in the league and has been an all star.

dame/sharpe/MT/bam is a pretty decent start.

trade nurk for a PF who can somewhat shoot and defend and we will be better.

 

This word perfectly encapsulates the current state of our team.

 

I thought you already traded Nurkic in your first unrealistic trade and now you’re somehow trading him again. That’s impressive for a player I’m pretty sure most teams don’t even want.
