A FRP you didn't actually pick ain't a FRP. Come on now. So Morey would be happy with CJ and 3 FRPs: Nards, Zach, and Swanigan? Those are FRPs right? I can't believe this is being debated. No one in their right mind thinks a FRP another team chose is the same as one you pick yourself.
They do if they want to win now. Did the Clipper not get a lot from us in the trade? If they want to contend and they have other young players, why would they not give up 1 young talent? They have to give us something? Many here were willing to give up Ant or Little early this season. Plus young rookies (and those who are about to enter the draft) often show "amazing untapped upside"....with some risk. Few are a guarantee to be good. No one saying Keon is a sure thing. But that does not mean he can't be good.
the moment that pick is used, value is instantly reduced. Teams don't readily give up first rounders just months after the draft unless they're trash.
19 years old....Dame & Powell both had 4 years of college. Not saying he will be even close to either its just many of these one and done'ers are just hard to crystal ball.
Thats what I would've thought as well. Welcome to 2022 Blazer fans rationalizing an indefensible franchise blunder. I feel like I'm arguing with the same people that said we had to give Meyers a max extension offer the summer before he could become a free agent. 50/40/90 Dirk 2.0... we can't risk him leaving as a free agent.
"First and foremost for me, I gotta see what his game is..." I guess those who say that Chauncey was familiar with him were a little off.
hey...I have an excuse for being even more of a blithering idiot than I usually am. Had a colonoscopy this morning after shitting my brains out and not eating yesterday; then no sleep last night. Still I think I could have got a better deal for Norm and RoCo than Cronin got CJ...PJ...rhyming matters
No idea. Way too early to tell. I always liked Norm, even in college. Loved the way he attacked the basket. Did not understand the " dislike" he got in the weeks prior to the trade on this board. I would have liked to see a Dame, Ant, NP 3 guard rotation. I see Keon as strictly a guard. No SF in his future. I think it is possible he can be as good as Norm but again I have always preached that young rookies (especially one and done) are not even close to being ready. They are drafted on potential and will only succeed if they have a great work ethic. They all have weaknesses they need to address.
Hey, I thought you were clever. Although if I were you, I wouldn't admit to storing my brains close to my sphincter.
