Have you seen a better play mentioned than OG so far? Herro is the best Miami can offer, which is a joke lol.

Nobody has any idea whats going on behind the scenes. I just think its funny how overvalued OG is on this board. People are comparing him to prime Dennis Rodman and Walt has a poster of OG on the ceiling in his bedroom. Its unreal.

Well duhhhh... then why are you even on this forum since no one knows what happening behind the scenes. It's about trying to make sense with all the available information.

Well then youve failed miserably if you think OG Anunoby is the best available option. Get back to the drawing board.

When the blazers go into a rebuild sooner than the raptors. Just wow.

Blazers gotta what best for the franchise, can't be trading dame for hero. Might as well pull grants contracts too. Let there be choas!!!!

JRoy eating good these days. Even the "bad" Grant contract isn't a big deal to an actual rebuilding team and can be flipped for value return unlike us losing FVV for nothing. Even that mediocre FO is playing circles around Masai skill-wise. Sad to see.

You gotta love how a lot of the same posters being okay with trading Siakam now for pennies on the dollar gave out such honest arguments at the deadline like us turning into the Orlando Magic or Houston rockets and tanking for 10+ years due to being unavoidably terrible the moment we traded away the sacred cow.

Narrative is God to these people.

So you ok with trading Scottie then? With this scenario, will we be winning the Larry ob or set us further from contention?

OG to me is just a top defender with severe limitations on offense who provides value operating in the corners and on the baseline.

Losing him would hurt us in many areas but also open up a lot of possibilities if we replace him with a lighter and more agile wing who can ballhandle better and who has more 3 level ability even if that player is weaker on defense.

Would much rather be the Trail Blazers than the Raptors now. TB have a nice young core and something to build towards. Raptors have no direction.

bape_lovers · Post #275 » by **bape_lovers** » Sat Jul 1, 2023 5:39 pm

How? They got scoot and we got Scottie. Both 3rd and 4th picks.

Blazers won 33 games last year and 27 games the year before. They've been awful for a while now, even with Dame.

You are the one with all the narratives.

Exactly, so below you said OG and pieces doesn’t work. Trading Scottie is no go? How is Masai sleeping on the wheel?

Yep, Scottie is not going anywhere.

The dumbest part about those people claiming we will be the Magic/Rockets, is they are the same ones that preach "Trust in masai" and wax intellectuals about how great our drafting is.

So either we've got a great FO that can properly navigate a full teardown and rebuild. Or they are incompetent and we will be the magic 2.0. But with them, somehow it's both. Have faith in the FO, but only if I agree with the direction.

I'm convinced all the people like this are just fans of players and not teams, since I never hear "Yeah we should do this for the betterment of the team long term." but, instead it's always defending these players like they are family.
