    I will assume that the team of experts the Blazers put together made the right choice.

    Why would you assume that? They haven't put together a contender since we traded Sheed.

    Simons + 23 to Chicago for DeRozan? Or Simons, Nurkic and #23 to the T’Wolves for KAT and Jaden McDaniels?

    People talk about trading Nurk. I'm not the biggest fan of his, but are you prepared to have 6'9" Eubanks play 40 minutes for us at center?

    I’m pretty torn on building around Scoot/Sharpe and trying one more time around Lillard. Brain says Scoot, Heart says Dame. Damn

    What’s the asking price for Allen? Multiple 1s?

    Dame doesn’t want another rookie. He’s said it multiple times. THEORETICALLY, Scoot should garner more in a trade.
    Except that Dame has lowered the value of the pick

    Gut feeling says a Zion deal gets done.

    Would explain Charlotte's wild back and forth (trying squeeze value out of our trade talks); Scoot wants to go to NO; NO wants to dump Zion; Dame wants to win; and perhaps most helpful of all... Scoot is the obvious pick trade or no trade, so we can draft him tonight and just continue to have those talks. If they cave and we get a lot, great, if not, we still have the guy we want.

    Yeah, Zion deal doesn't have to be done tonight, even if we draft Scoot.
