    Well Jaylen Brown might be a star. Thats the point. A city like Portland has to get stars the old fashion way like drafting and HOPE he becomes a star like Roy was, Lillard was, etc

    Again this season will be a forever case study on why it's pointless to win meaningless games in a meaningless season and get to the playoffs just to say we got to the playoffs. Instead we should enjoy the seaosn like we did, then around the last month or so pull the fucking plug like we did Dames rookie year.

    That's how Cj got here. With the 10th pick at that!

    Roll the dice in the draft. Because rolling the dice in the playoffs or free agency does not work for us

    Nobody here will ever agree with your dumb thinking of getting stars or good role players through the draft. Nothing is promised. It's luck most of the time. Drop that shit.

    You're only saying this b/c they traded the pick. If they didn't, would you have said tank for the 9th pick b/c 18 is too bad?

    I don't think tanking two years in a row to bank on hope, rather than win as much as possible with the team we have, is a good way to get new FAs or keep our team motivated.

    Dude it's literally a better chance than free agency for us. LITERALLY

    Take this season as a case study. It's a perfect example.

    Having a star, an up and coming star, coach of the year runner up, making noise in the playoffs DOESNT EVEN WORK.

    I would rather roll the dice on the draft

    Really? I thought we got our star the EXACT same way Boston got Jaylen Brown--by fleecing the Nets.

    If Evan gets an outside shot, he'd would have been a steal. If not, he's still valuable.

    Sweet. So crush NO for trading the future to get Afflalo. Crush him for not getting draft picks for other players. Don't crush the team for playing as hard as they can and winning more than most thought on the way.

    So Baze gets the same deal, Turner makes more sense for our team because Crabbe and Baze are so similar.

    So why aren't we resigning Hendo again? I doubt he's going to get $70 million from anyone and he's just as talented (and about the same age) as Turner. And Hendo actually has a decent shot outside of 10 feet.

    Hendo is a ball stopper though, Turner has more tools than Hendo.

    Because a player that can create for others was a huge need for us. Henderson isn't that

    Can someone explain how Bazemore is better than Turner, aside from the fact than he's the guy we didn't get.

    He can shoot. That's it. He's only 6'5 too.

    I'd much rather have Turner at $70 mil than Parsons at $94 mil. I just hope that we don't let Harkless or Crabbe walk because of this signing.
