Picking up from the last thread

I don't see why we would move Queta. We lost because we didn't have a second guy like Queta. If it's Clingan and Luka Garza again it'll be the same result. We need 48 minutes of rim protection in an NBA that has Wemby, Embiid, Mobley, Jokic, Bam, etc.

Look how badly the Spurs got beat when Wemby had to come off and Luke was their rim protection.

Look at Duster, a Blazers fan being third on the Wall of Shame.

Impressive.

Yep, it's not just Brad or Joe or the team that needs to start bringing their A game.

Unless we move White or Pritchard, Brandon Williams should prefer to sign with Golden State, where he'd most likely be given a much bigger role than here, especially with GS expected to lose Melton in free agency.

As of today, the Celtics currently have the best odds to come out of the East and get to the Finals.

Odds aren’t everything but still quite a bit of outside confidence in this team.

If JB gets moved, White will likely be playing a lot more at the 2, opening up plenty of time at the 1.

In my defense, Brown, if the Blazers would pull it off, is the biggest single trade I’ve seen them make in… almost 30 years?

The Blazers franchise has been a bunch of ****** when it comes to making any trade of significance my entire life outside of the late 90s Blazers w/ Pippen.

We just rank the most frequent posters after every trade thread ends.

We “shame” those who are the leaders. Maybe insinuating we should all do something better with our time (?) but it’s in good fun.

It’s a wise board, I’m here for it lol.

Cheers to you Boston fans, you’re a good bunch!

Then we've got 2 days to move JB, because Golden State is calling Williams Tuesday at 6pm. Williams and his agent aren't going to sit and wait for what might happen with us.

Really boring stuff, but I’m gonna predict they just do the boring things. Sign Rob Williams and acquire Brandon Williams via S&T with Hauser (even if Hauser goes somewhere other than Dallas).

Pritchard / BWilliams
White / Hugo / Harper Jr.
Brown / Scheierman
Tatum / Walsh / Cenac Jr.
Queta / RWilliams / Garza / AWilliams

Going back to starting a ball handler instead of Hauser should make us less stagnant. RWIII adds C depth and rim pressure, BWilliams gives you a third ball handler so you can play Pritchard as a starter and his attack-the-rim offensive game is a new dimension for the team.

Not fun but I’m tired of trade ideas. I give up.

I’m not losing sleep over missing out on Williams.

He is an absolutely putrid shooter and is undersized. He’d be virtually unplayable in the playoffs.

Even if JB doesn’t get moved, they should be looking to move Hauser out of the starting lineup, Brown back to SF, White to SG. So then you need another player to combine with Pritchard at PG which could be BWilliams.
