Luckily we have tradeable assets, tons of cap space and will probably have a good draft pick in a good draft. It's always been known that this team was essentially Damian Lillard with a bunch of adequate role players. I think help will come fairly quickly (in terms of this upcoming summer and probably by next year's trade deadline and we'll be right in the thick of things before too long.
Yeah, I think next season we make the POs without major changes. Which makes it all the more important that we keep this year's pick and give DEN a crappy pick in the low 20s next year.
The ideal scenario is a top 3 pick and we are able to finally get a marquee player either through an outright signing or a trade, both are doable. Like I've been saying, Lillard's influence with Adidas and his comraderie with other guys like Barnes or DeRozan may help out convincing them to come and build something special here in Rip City.
I don't know, i don't watch Morris outside of his meetings with Portland. I listened to Zach Lowe's pod today and they were talking about the 2 as if they match-up pretty good and have similar skill set. I tend to think Morris is worth the "gamble" of acquiring him for free. Stats are not something i rely on anymore to pass judgement.
Can DeRozan play SF? If so I MIGHT get on board with trying to sign him IF we luck into Ben Simmons and play him at PF. Dame CJ DeRozan Simmons Plumlee I wouldn't get DeRozan to replace CJ, but anything to get Aminu out of the starting line up would be a good thing.
Yeah I'd just throw in the towel if I was in charge; no point in trying to beat those assholes. But I'm very glad smarter and more driven people are in charge, because I'd be the worst GM ever.
If ________ dropped dead. Insert the name of the best player on any team here. Very nonsensical argument.
I highly disagree, the ABSOLUTE BEST scenario would be if we did __________ and ___________ and won a Championship in 20___!!
The point was that win/loss record is not an infallible indicator of quality. There, is that simpler?
I'll agree with that. The past couple years we definitely weren't as good as our W/L record said we were.
