Poeltl is a legit center in this league but also hear that spurs actually wants to keep him remember he is only 27 years old and been pretty durability been very good as a big. The rumors are also looking for 20 million in the off season where ever he ends up.

Those are the kind of gambles you need to take if you’re Portland and we sit mum

I agree but will withhold my judgment until after the deadline or if I think a trade made before the deadline is an absolute fuck up. Hoping Joe has shit in the works that makes this all make sense but I'm not holding my breath but again after Chauncey and Dame's pressers last night, it's pretty clear that there will be moves.

I don’t want to trade sharpe but I do agree with you. If we keep building team around Damien, we need to be taking some gambles and looking at more veteran type players to build around Dame. DeRozan, Siakam, LaVine etc..

Portland doesn't need to be sending second rounders for an expiring contract that might help us battle to 10th place in the conference.

Especially now that we have Mike Schmitz to find gems in the 2nd round.
 
There is this from B/R:

The struggling Portland Trail Blazers are intensely engrossed in improving the roster with the trade deadline approaching, and they are said to be listening to all overtures, league sources tell Bleacher Report.

The organization remains committed to being opportunistic and creative in trying to surround franchise star Damian Lillard with a roster capable of competing with the best.

There are no plans to tank this season, sources say.

With a revamped cast entering the 2022-23 season, the Trail Blazers had high hopes of making a deep postseason run. Portland (22-25) has lost 13 of its last 19 games, tumbling to 13th in the Western Conference standings.

Shooting, size and depth are areas of need. Portland is dead last in points off the bench (24.0 points).

The trade deadline is Feb. 9.

That's really vague but obviously we are open for business.

Bummer. I don't think he's a huge difference maker, but he's got talent, and for 2nd rounders, would have liked taking a flyer on him.

Eh, maybe we will get John Collins

Did they tho??

I don't think anyone had those thoughts, otherwise they should be fired.

Joe said he knew the roster was incomplete but wanted to see different combinations of different guys playing together to get a sense of what moves to make at this trade deadline and in the off-season... I think he added this off-season because he didn't want rival execs to think his back is up against the wall right now and knowing our ownership it probably isn't. So yeah, I think the speculative part of that article is what you pointed out but the substantive part is that everyone is on the table right now, which I think is good news.

Joe better have a plan because from top to bottom our roster is worse than when we started the year last year. With just as little flexibility.

This board seems to believe two claims that are hard to reconcile.
1. What you said
2. Jerami Grant is the best forward we've had basically since Aldridge

I said at the time we acquired him that I liked bring him on board. But that if that’s are splashy acquisition of the offseason we’re in trouble.

And here we are..

I said it elsewhere, but in regards to Hart, if you don't think we're going anywhere, and you're weary of what he might want to sign for in the offseason, he is absolutely a guy we should be looking to trade at the deadline. Someone slightly younger with a longer deal? Or assets we could move in the offseason for an upgrade, perhaps.
