Honestly the trade does suck but I think this board will fall in love with Keon the way it has with Little. The guy needs playing time but his D could be elite. I’m a UK guy and watch a lot of SEC basketball and he stood out in the games I saw.
Maybe the next trade did already get done. We have to suit up enough guys to play a game tonight so maybe there is a trade agreed to but we can't pull the trigger until we get two of the players from this deal in uniform.
Here's my take: IMHO, we absolutely needed to do 2 thing before the beginning of next season, or we will have seriously eroded our chance to compete in the Dame era. 1) Trade CJ + some combination of Norm, RoCo, Nance, picks for a high quality starting PF 2) Get under the luxury tax What some of us are so upset about is that, though we accomplished #2, we did it in such a way as to make it unlikely we'll be able to accomplish #1, which from a basketball POV is critical.
That top 5 pick we get could be going to Boston for Brown. I think an Ivey/Tatum lineup would interest Boston enough to pull that trigger.
That’s like saying reservations are required with Mrs HCP during road trips. We all know it, so why bring it up?
He just answered some questions from Ben Golliver. Said it prepares them for more moves in the next week.
Keon Anfernee Little Top 5 pick Lillard gets a haul CJ gets something good now you are rebuilding with some nice pieces. orrrrrr we could just keep doing this and get swept first round and keep Mr Blazer forever
I would think this deal is a prelude to another trade to beef up the 4 position. We have the assets still to address Joe's improvement plan.
