So... who gets traded?

Make your post-draft call.

 

I'd only trade Ant if we get 1 of 3 results;
1. Contend now - this looks extremely unlikely with the drafting of Scoot
2. Return of equal value in talent at another position
3. Dame commits to stay with the Blazers long term

I'd say it seems more likely we pivot to trade Dame eventually. The Blazers really need to make some decisions ASAP and get clarity on Dame long term. If he will be moved in the months ahead there's no need to move Ant. It also questions how much we should offer Grant and what king of player we should target with the MLE.

 

Scoot. I would love to keep him but don't think we will

 

I think Dame decides it’s time and he goes to Miami.

 

I think that they make a small trade. Dame let’s them play it out to see if they can catch fire. Asks for in season trade if/when they don’t

 

Will be Ant
Should be Ant and Dame and Nurk
I have no idea

 

Hollinger in the Athletic:

 

Ant, duh

 

The way Joe talked about him in the presser post draft, unlikely scenario, but nothing is impossible

 

I think Ant but I also put Nurk cause I think this team needs a more defensive minded center ala Joel Pryz etc type if the Blazers really want to try another 2 small guard lineup.

When / IF Ant is traded I think it could be a 3 team deal and Nurk I think he could be headed to the Cavs OR Hawks --- Nurk and pieces ( Little , Keon Knox etc ) for Allen OR Capela

 

I think they tried to trade Anf,, using the 23rd pick to try to make a better package. It appears that most clubs give him the same low value that I do. No one bit so I think he might stay. Now they need to keep him in case Lillard asks out. Not sure how to boost Anf's value, for some reason he just can't play defense.

 

Anfernee, Nurk and future picks.

I’m targeting bigs — Jarrett Allen, Claxton and Onyeka.

 

Agree with time to go decision for Dame but think Nets will have better package

 

still can't trade future picks unless we work out a deal with Chi

 

Seems like a dumb idea for us to unlock those picks as it's possible we never give Chicago anything if this rebuild takes a few extra years.

 

Not necessarily . They need to pay Chicago off now. Whether they use a pick this summer or at the deadline, they need to get reconciliation on that pick.

 

As long as Dame is not asking it, Ant seems the obvious answer. There just isn't minutes for all 4 guards and I do NOT want to see Sharpe losing his big athletic advantage at SG to be moved up to SF. He is 6'5". For the love of all that is holy, let players play their best positions.

 

Plus I've heard on National Sports Talk Radio, the next two Drafts are looking meek. Last year's Draft was great, and this one has potential as well.
