Read on Twitter


From Portland, all insiders say Rob Williams won’t be sold for less than a FRP coming back.

Rockets and Ime seem like a very likely fit for a landing spot. What might the Rockets be willing to offer?

There was a rumor on the blazers subreddit floated awhile back that the Warriors want to sign and trade two first rounders, Kuminga and Podie to the Blazers for Timelord and Avija,.

These were supposedly non limited picks timed for the draft the following summer after Curry/Green/Butler's contracts expire along with another frp in 2035.

What the Blazers desperately need is heady point guard play that can initiate a read and react offense and be an offensive threat unto himself. In order for the rest of their roster to work well, they need someone who can create off the PnR with Ayton and Donovan Clingan. They need someone to absorb the contract of Jerami Grant who is paid 35+ million and plays the same position as Deni Avija, their most consistent and at least their second best player. They could stand to have someone relieve Matisse Thybulle's contract, even if it is good value now and Thybulle is a tremendous defensive presence on the wing. The fans also have grown tired of Anfernee Simons, whom some people say that the Heat are interested.

There is also talk about letting Ayton go for picks, even if he has performed well enough to keep around. He does have a tendency to set very very bad picks.
