    I don’t think anyone should be untouchable. Untouchable is Luka, Halliburton, SGA etc.

    I don't love the trade, but strongly agree with the idea of Sharpe, or anyone on this roster, not being untouchable.

    Why would the Blazers make a trade? We are obviously an unstoppable team and there is no room to improve the team....

    I'm getting close to making a "What if they trade your mom" thread.

    Well some of you may get your wish and depending on the return, maybe most of us. I really feel Brogdon sitting out is more than just for his knee. If we are trading him, now is not the time to sit him for an injury, unless it’s for other reasons.

    Here’s to hoping if he is traded, we are all happy with the return!

    There are always whispers in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline!

    After Malcolm and Jerami sat out tonight, I'll be very disappointed if they aren't both on teams where they can contribute to playoff wins on Thursday.

    Might just have been flatulence.

    Up to now, the debate has been whether Brogdon has more value as a mentor for the remainder of the season, or getting a 2024 draft pick. That was thrown about a few times.

    I never said I'd trade him for whatever is out there. If the offers are completely garbage, and we already know that his baseline is a first round pick, I wouldn't trade him for less than that.

    Reread what I wrote. Quoting one post now doesn't dispel the notion you've created through numerous threads for weeks. Now, again, if that's not how you intended to come off, either several of us misunderstood you or you didn't do a really good job of being clear.

    If it's the latter, we're trading your mom.

    They’re really two separate debates.

    One is whether he should be traded, and I have been a pretty staunch supporter of trading him, and the other is value.

    We haven’t heard any rumors about what he’s worth so I was going off what his value was last summer.

    I feel like I shouldn’t have to specifically call out the second topic when I’m debating the first topic. Because how bad can it go? Cap space and cash considerations? Did people really think that I wanted to trade him for whatever was out there?

    I started this season more than completely disappointed so there's nowhere to go but up with this team. I think we have enough picks and rookies or G league two way guys to rebuild as it is so we already have 2 first round picks with the Warriors pick and a pile of second round picks....I don't see how any of those picks would make the Blazers a better team for the next 3 years by trading Grant at all. My guy to trade is still Simons and if not him it'd be Brogdan because of minutes. I'm not a fan of the Ant 4th qtr crap shoot end game so far. I think we played better team ball when Ant was on the bench all year. I want Grant and Ayton and Thybulle on this team

    But why do you want to trade Shaedon?

    I don't think the last group actually exists.

    I'm good with Ayton and Thybulle. I'd be okay with Grant if he'd quit the ISO crap.
