Don't understand this from the Blazers at all, but unfortunately this seems to make the Clippers better this year. Must be some thought PG/Kawhi might be able to come back by April.

What the hell is that trade? How could that be the best Portland could get? Yeesh, wait for better offers. Or are they just gonna try turn over the entire roster by the deadline?

Blazer lost out big in that trade.

Clips get better this season and in future as well since powell is better than what they send out .
Unless blazer knows something abt Keon that I’m not getting .

They should think Keon is a future star.

That's a terrible trade for us (short and long term :().

I'm so pissed at the Clippers winning close games right now and not being in the lottery but kudos to them for such a great management from GM to coaching staff. It helps to be in LA and have a rich owner but they are doing a tremendous job. We only have a shot at good future picks because Kawhi & PG13 are injury prone.

I just don’t get why the blazers would make a trade like that so far out from the deadline. They must be super concerned they’d get stuck with Powell and have to pay the tax.

More moves to make I guess. There have to be a roco trade out of the luxury tax even 1-2 days away from deadline .

Don't like Pels/Spurs chances but who knows. Mixed emotions about the LAC pick, if it's 15 it's still pretty good but had potential to be so much higher without PG13 and Kawhi. I could deal with #1, # 15 and 30 though

Got to love the Mav’s and putting a bunch of 30 something’s around Luka.

They don’t have a draft pick till ‘24.

If they sign Brunson they will be $35 M over the tax.

This is one guy I wouldn’t have minded taking a chance on. Obviously we lack roster spots but he’s a perfect buy low candidate.

He only wants heat with Jimmy , Lowry , bam ..

Does he only wants suns with cp3, booker and ayton ?

I guessed he consider himself the 3rd option behind curry/klay at GSW and at this stage of his career , he’s at best the 4th option .

You are too hard on him. It's fair to want to be surrounded by great players after being in a miserable team with Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Joe Harris, Blake Griffin, Lamarcus Aldridge and Patty Mills.

That team sounds good on paper . But a disaster last season . At least Simmons was good for gaming .

Can't believe people on here genuinely didn't want to draft Banchero.
