What to do about the draft?

[DaVoiceMaster]

What if the real plan is the summer of 2024? The Blazers draft Bronny James, LeBron James opys out of his contract, and the Blazers sign him as a free agent to play with his son. Isn't that LeBron's plan; it's just a matter of which team drafts Bronny?

Herb has a team option for next year that will be exercised, Bryant isn’t an upgrade over Nurkic and Brandon Miller is 6’9 SF not a PG.

Also if Sharpe is #3 on the SG depth chart next year he is either not working on his game or Billups just has a vendetta.

I do like Miller but I wish he had that Scottie Barnes personality. Leaning on youngsters like Ant, Sharpe, Miller that don’t really seem to have leadership qualities is rough. But who knows, they are still kids.

Odd, the website I was looking at showed Jones as an UFA. I would look to do something with both Simon's and Nurkic. Maybe you do Simon's to Orlando for WCJ, Anthony, and their 2023 draft pick. I would also see if there is a deal with Nurkic going to Dallas. Maybe a SHT for Woods? Honestly, I don't care where he goes, just so long as he goes. Not sure anyone is willing to take on his contract unless they have a need for him.

I think Ant’s value is closer to WCJ straight up than WCJ and a top-10 pick. Also t think the only trade of Nurk to Dallas is for Bertrand or THJ. His value to me is that low.

Remember however, WCJ since he entered the league, has never played more than 62 games in a season

Ya, that is something to take into consideration. I think Ant is worth a bit more - maybe the 2025 DEN FRP, but certainly the difference in value is less than the ORL and CHI FRPs, both of which are projected Top-10.

I am still foolish enough to take a flyer on Isaac if we can dump Nurkic on them.
