    I mean, I don't even fucking know who we've acquired in the last week. I guess if we've acquired Josh Hart I kinda like him. Anyone actually enthused about a player we're actually getting? Sell me on him.

    Me too. But if you were ranking CJ, RoCo, Nance, Norm and him, wouldn't he be at the bottom?

    Serious question does every thought need a new thread?

    Alexander-Walker is young. Has had some big games. Has length. I think he might become a very solid player.

    Hart I like. Good role player. But I liked Powell better.

    Will any of the 7 guys we acquired be on the next good Blazer team?

    Nuff said.

    There's not a single player that I am excited about that we've acquired. They could all be cut or traded later today and I don't think the team would be much worse off. Maybe Hart has some on-court value but I wouldn't say I'm excited he's a Blazer.

    Too busy celebrating RoCo, NP and CJ's departure to much care about who's coming back!
    We'll figure that out in July.

    I don't know his name, but I'm excited about a player with the initials TPE. Of course, I spent years waiting for RLEC to pan out.

    I have Hart below CJ and Norm talent wise and as a player, and above Nance and Cov. I rank him over CJ and Norm ahen it comes to fit next to Dame, tbh.

    ranking for what? if it's for efficiency, fit, and 2-way ability he's right near the top

    If we end up acquiring Jerami Grant... Josh Hart will still be my favorite incoming player.

    No, he would be ahead of CJ. and Nance just because of injury history. maybe about the same as Norm and Roco. But he's not good enough for me to be excited.

    Only the possible lottery pick excites me.
