    What do you expect with your personal feelings of the Blazers offseason results?

    Draft means Draft picks and Trades around the time of the draft
    Free agency means Signings and Trades around the time of free agency

    I don’t think there’s a trade package that will deliver the value that fans are expecting, and simply trading the pick will piss off #keepeverything people like me.

    It’s a house divided but at least we’re not the Raptors or the Bulls fanbase.

    I’d bet we can predict right now with pretty good accuracy what almost everyone’s ACTUAL feelings will be.

    Ha exactly. We have historical data on our side that suggests we are never satisfied. And since this year there are so many more options, most of which are borderline fantasies, there is no doubt in my mind that the majority will not be satisfied this year either.

    I have low expectations. I'm not betting on us acquiring a star.

    I'm going to be pissed if we trade the pick for a mediocre player.

    If the Blazers draft and free agency is a disappointment I've found another sport to follow.

    It's been a long time since I was overwhelmed about any move the Blazers made. Drafting Sharpe was probably the most optimism I've had about a pick or trade in years, so history tells me I won't be that excited about the results..... but there is always hope, right?

    I'm expecting to be disappointed by both; I'll be happily surprised if not.

    I think we all agree there. Although I assume there will be disagreements on who is considered mediocre and who is considered very good. We debate about Brown and Siakam, (Bridges and his salary seem to make everyone happy) Who else that is rumored is worth #3?

    I still kind of like absorbing Wagner with the TPE. (and #11) That still leaves us with some additional options.

    Heat vs Nuggets takes on an entirely new meaning.

    I won't have any resentment. It's the best and easy way to go about it.

    This year wether we draft or trade or both is probably the most significant transformation year for the Blazers since we let Clyde go.

    I don't think the Blazers will be blown away by offers for the pick, so I expect them to draft and keep Scoot, which is what I want - satisfied.

    FA: I expect to be satisfied only because my expectations are so low. If we don't completely overpay some dork, I will be satisfied...
