    In the modern NBA, I feel like this tweet can come out and Simmons gets traded a day later.

    Blazers aren't getting Durant or Simmons. They need to keep doing what they are doing. Get some of the FAs we want while everyone else is looking at Durant.

    As i said longshot but one more thing slightly off topic but Free agency today

    I wonder as certain teams may try and get in on the Durant sweepstakes some FA's that the Blazers might target might wait to see if they can join Durant wherever he ends up -- today might have went from solid watch to a snoozefest

    this is also why we need yet another capable wing defender to compete in this western conference. thybulle is imperative right now.

    True, same with Denver. They have a two time MVP in Jokic, but no one wants to go there

    It’s more likely KD lands in Phoenix and we go for a guy like Mikal Bridges for two 1sts and Little or something like that.

    Depends on what they want. I think a package of Sharpe, EBEC, Little aNd picks is seriously intriguing for a rebuild.
    Toss in A resigned Ant instead of Sharpe, All three ?

    That motherfucker Olshey traded 1st round picks for role players, you know as a Small Market Team that's our only chance to get a Superstar, either by Drafting or trading

    Would you rather it be about UCLA and USC? I for one welcome the attention being returned to the NBA, as it should be.

    Brooklyn isn't looking for picks.

    Getting Durant would spoil all the good feelings the Blazers have earned with the acquisitions of Grant and Sharpe. I personally hope the scumbag signs with anyone but the Blazers.

    Ant would have to want to go there. It would have to be a sign and trade.

    Ayton,Bridges etc already beats that deal.

    To bad we don't have a player like Norman Powell to offer instead of Eric Bledsoe. Well at least we got two great draft picks for him. Or 1. 0?
