I'm trying to think about our targets this year: Simmons, Collins and Siakam. It doesn't help that Philly might trade Simmons for less if they can get rid of Harris, cuz Bledsoe contract not big enough to match either Simmons or Harris. Toronto doesn't have any big contracts that they want to unload. What if Atlanta decided that Gallinari and Bogdanavich are not good values? Just doesn't make sense, with them winning 7 or 8 straight. I can't think of what the next move would be and if there is a next move, why not right now?
Any idea on what kind of package we could get for the both of them? Id think Nurk has a good chance to stay here, but CJ I would think is on the move.
He said "Cam Johnson" which gave me a flashback of Game of Zones and the team trading team thought they were getting Dillon Brooks but were actually getting Marshon Brooks. Maybe Cronin thought he was getting Cam Johnson.
his 'analysis' of the Portland side of the trade is that it's not as shitty as it appears because there will be a step 2 and a step 3. And he spent time talking about CJ for Hart, Satoransky, and Hayes. That's an 'example' of step 2....I guess sure, there could be other trades before the deadline. But the CJ to Pels trade he outlined had no bearing on the trade today. Just seems like he is not only moving the goal posts but making them as wide as the playing field and I already see people excusing this trade, if nothing more happens before the deadline, because there could be moves in the off-season. Which, by the way could have happened without today's trade. about the only way this trade can be remotely rationalized is if Bledsoe is traded for something good before the trade deadline
There is no upside to this trade from a competition standpoint. Not now. Not in the future. We didn't even get picks FFS

Well no one is Always right I don’t work for the Trail Blazers so please Forgive me Or don’t, it Really doesn’t matter to me I can take the hate Take this post for what it’s worth
Maybe Cronin doesn’t expect the Blazers to keep him so he did the Clips a solid to try to entice them to give him employment next season?
