    I would rather have Josh Hart, never mind Josh Hart PLUS draft considerations.

    I don't think Cronin could go through with that deal now. Detroit did us a favor.

    funny how Hart for Grant doesn't meet CBA requirements but Bledsoe for Grant does

    Cronin better not revisit that rumor and trade Hart and the Pels pick for Grant in June. That would be fucking stupid

    If this is true.... does Cronin hate the Blazers or is he truly this utterly incompetent?

    Bledsoe and draft assets for Grant makes more sense.

    Is Marc Stein a reliable source? I hope it's not true.

    But does the offer jive with what the expert’s in this forum would want? I wonder what kind of deal they will offer at the draft?

    What worries me is that Cronin will repeat what Olshey did by giving up draft picks for someone that isn't a good fit.
    Grant fits for his position but so did Robert Covington.
    Josh Hart isn't the best fit by position need, but he's a great fit for the team. I'd rather have Josh Hart.

    You're an expert too. Tell us.

    That's right, you never do.

    Or could Detroit be playing us? Perhaps they will think the Blazers will offer up a better package at the draft. Hopefully Joe will be replaced before then but probably not.

    Who is the expert? And what of theirs would the offer jive with?

    Responding to the thread generally: Hart is a fine player, but his contract makes him a valuable player. Moving him for Grant straight-up would be something I'd probably not want to do, and giving up additional chunks of our future to do so would have been (or will be) dumb and I hope whomever is in charge figures that out before they try again.

    Yeah, we're watching Cronin make moves far worse than Olshey's. But the Olshey and CJ haters seem to praise any shit this team does. Blazers are in a battle with the Kings and Wizards for worst roster in the league.

    We’ve seen what Sell Low Joe has done to clear the Blazers’ books of Olshey’s bad contracts, but we haven’t seen much of him in acquisition mode. Until we do, he gets an incomplete in my books.

    I don't believe it personally. I think that Detroit may have asked for that, but I think either the TPE or Bledsoe + the NOP pick was the package, and Detroit wanted more certainty the pick would convey.
