Need Real Thoughts from True Blazers Fans

Moderators: Moonbeam, DeBlazerRiddem

What do you want to see happen?

Trade #3 and Sharpe + Nurkic for a B+ level player like Siakam/OG Anunoby/Jaylen Brown and never win a title BUT keep Dame for the next 3 years

Trade Dame to fast forward a rebuild where POR can become a contender by 2030 with new blood from picks and some key FA signings

81%
Trade Simons + #3 for minor upgrades and consolidations and appease Dame enough to stay for one and a half more seasons before he is traded in the middle of 2024-2025 delaying the rebuild

There are few surprises when you are picking at the top of the draft for every team has the same video
and can see for themselves, the players when they arrive for the workouts which include private 1:1
interviews along medical and psych information.

It'd be interesting how Dame still prefers Portland to make the win now moves but according to wiretap,
is listing Miami, Brooklyn and Boston as places he'd like to go. Brooklyn has far more trade assets to offer
but Miami (because of Bam) seems to be the place he prefers to go.

Failing that, continue down the dual timeline path. Draft Scoot/Miller. Use Simons, #23, and #43 for incremental upgrades. Milk Dame for ticket/merch sales. Make the playoffs. Achieve nothing. Hope the new blood outperforms the old blood.


Why give up Simons and 23/43 for changes that won't matter, why not draft and hope you get lucky?


It makes zero sense... Think about it we are slapping band aides on a jugular gusher.

B/C you need a vet addition to appease Dame IMO. Its why keeping #3 and using Simons/23 for DDR/PDX returned makes so much sense.

Dammit, I botched that. Up above . But trading Simons and picks for something that ain't going to help is dumb besides appeasing the elephant in the room? We gotta build and keep young assets

Blazers don't need to do any of the options given.
