    I think it was @THE HCP that said he can make any player look like an all star with a highlight video but I can appreciate your positivity.

    All the highlight videos still don’t negate the fact that they could have used the pick for another player and bought a second rounder and picked this dude up on the cheap.

    Loved our off-season too, Wilkins back in a boot sucks though. I definitely trust in Tom/Spy/Pete.

    I don't think they're going to trade in, but agree that if they do, it'll be for Penda (AKA Collin Murré-Boyles), whom we had in to work out both this year and last. Have to get one of Charlotte's two picks to land him. Could offer both the seconds we just got from Memphis.

    Also a possibility (if we can't get such a high second rounder): Toohey.

    I don’t think we need more players unless it’s a shooter.

    Chaz Lanier? John Tonje? Both "super seniors". I like the sound of Tonje. But if we're going guards, I'd prefer Kam Jones.

    HOWEVER: FO probably agrees with your "I don't think we need any more players" view.

    Don’t get me wrong I’d still like Fleming lol I’m just seeing log jams already. I’d like a consolidation trade honestly. Also I think IF Grant is traded we are gonna bring back multiple players.

    Someone bringing up Clingan would have been good. They did bring up the log jam of centers and Cronin basically said if they end up going into the season with 5 centers they would figure it out.

    He did sound like he wasn't finished both with the Jrue trade and others.

    Minnesota was going to take Yang at #17. He wouldn't have been there any later. The Twolves had to recalibrate and pick Beringer. Tim Connelly, the president of the Timberwolves who was with Denver when they picked Jokic, wanted Yang badly. He saw what the Blazers saw. So, hopefully it's not fools gold, and down the road this will be the steal of the draft.

    Correct FAMS! I did one for Dan Dickau that made him look like Stockton 2.0 and I’ll never forget the masterpiece I did for whatever the dude’s name was from Washington State with the huge hair a couple years ago…..if the right people see it, he’s headed straight to the HOF!

    He should go to the HOF simply because you correctly spelled masterpiece, FAMS.

    It’s like in college recruiting, the coaches and scouts want to see game footage, not highlight packs. They want to see how they play off the ball for example. Highlight packs are great for fans and families though.

    Looked it up first to make sure it wasn’t 2 words.

    CJ Elleby!

    Dude started 28 games for us. Last year Scoot started 10.

    Are Blazer fans hoping in his 3rd year as a much hyped #3 overall pick Scoot can have as big of a role as CJ Elleby did for us? Probably unlikely with Jrue slotted in the starting PG spot though.

    The data is out. This is wrong. Minny was sniped, and they're not happy about it.

    No.

    Saw some tweets and such about it. Cronin touched on it I think. It's out there. It's real. Minny wanted him. We snatched him away right in time. Hopefully, it pans out.
