    It feels like we are going to see who is available at 7 tomorrow and if it's isn't Sharpe or Murray we make a trade.

    Someone ban @illmatic99 (temporarily). He is willing to sacrifice tuning out so the Blazers can make lots of amazing deals. #TrueBlazerFan

    The boners who have been incessantly bitching and whining about Cronin for the last 4 months have been more insufferable.

    Hello,

    many have unrealistic expectations. Many of these same people are never satisfied or content. But some of these same people will get down on others for being happy or content.

    Some simply cannot be REALISTICALLY satisfied.
    I wish we could just trade the tpe and our #7 for #1 and James Harden and John Collins, but in a real world this was a great move.

    Is Grant the end all answer? Of course not.

    For those who aren't happy with this and getting down on those who are,
    I ask this:
    What realistic trade would a 2nd round swap and our 2025 first netted?

    If no one can come up with a clear cut, realistically better answer, Then I say shut up and take the lumps Debra downer!!!!!

    In a friendly brotherly love tone of course! :)

    so if this was a win how was the pelicans trade still stupid, considering he used the asset he got from that trade to make this one?

    This trade didn't make us a contender, so I'm not ready to schedule the prade or anything. However, I'm glad I wasn't one of the people freaking out that us losing the NOP pick (that we never had) cost us Grant. The case could be made we could've got more with the NOP pick than just Grant, but we'll never know.

    The net trade of CJ/Nance for Grant/Hart isn't looking so bad at this point.

    No, they expect anyone who was unhappy with the two deadline deals to assume the position in Pioneer Courthouse Square and be spanked by the casual fans who thought those were good trades.

    Blazers for 2025 1st-round pick, sources say
    3:13 PM PT
    • [​IMG]
      Adrian WojnarowskiSenior NBA Insider
    The Portland Trail Blazers are acquiring Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant for a protected 2025 first-round pick and additional draft assets, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

    The Blazers have been pursuing Grant to pair with All-NBA guard Damian Lillard for over a year and now land him and absorb his $21 million salary using a trade exception, sources said.

    The Bucks' pick is protected 1-4, and the deal includes Detroit acquiring the Portland Trail Blazers' No. 36 pick in Thursday's NBA draft for the Blazers' at No. 46, as well as a 2025 second-round pick back that Detroit had owed Portland, sources said. The Pistons also get a 2026 second-round pick from the Blazers, which will be the most favorable between Portland's and the New Orleans Pelicans'.

    The deal delivers the Pistons $43 million in salary cap space for free agency, and gives them the fifth and 36th picks in Thursday's draft.

    New Blazers GM Joe Cronin has overhauled the Blazers roster, and now moves toward making his first draft pick at No. 7 on Thursday night.

    Grant, 28, is eligible to sign a four-year, $112 million extension beginning in December. He's entering the final year of his contract.
