Really looking forward to seeing Banchero and Bol Bol who i really wanted to draft.

Orlando is a fun team with a lot of size, something we struggle with for obvious reasons, so I’m not optimistic about our chances.

Hard to believe we’re a sub 500 team after the way we started. Cronin needs to make some roster and coaching decisions, because this team isn’t playing inspired ball.

I'm more concerned about the fact that disgus mouthpiece for blazers propaganda on 620 prime time said we promised jerami we'd extend him around when that trade went down. And he was guessing 120 over 4 years. Why bother retaining grant at this point?

After the 10-4 start, yes?

We should fire Billups and hire Portland legend Ime Udoka in the offseason.

At least its looking good Portland will have a FRP in the 2023 draft :lol:

Blow it up.

JasonStern · Post #12 » by **JasonStern** » Wed Jan 11, 2023 6:41 am

Yeah. This team is just bad. At least we are likely keeping our pick. Again.

I don't think we need to blow it up. Just play the starters if the goal is to tank.

Blow It Up... I'm all for it. Question is, How?

First thing I want to do is get our Tank Commander back.
Blazers trade: Future 2nd rounder(top 50 protected) to the T-pups.
Blazers get: Cj Elleby

Second: I still want Mark Williams from the Hornets. Looks like he might be gettable if we overpay a little.
Blazers trade: Watford / 2023 FRP(Top 5 protected) / $1million in poker chips to Jordan.
Blazers get: Mark Williams

Third: Trade Dame for best package available. Personally, Ben Simmons and a couple picks would be fine.

Next season:
Simons / GP2 / Keon
Hart / Sharpe
Grant / Little / GB3
Simmons / Winslow / Walker
Nurkic / Williams / Eubanks

That's my Dream Team!!!

Been in that camp for a long while, perhaps a horrific home stand this month will help that along, this team is dysfunctional and awful to watch

Sure would have been nice if we blew it up before the draft, we could be watching at least one shiny top 5 pick and probably figuring who we would take with the other top 5 pick this off season. But instead we extend our aging cash cow making him almost impossible to trade and wallow away in the pig trough/treadmill.

Longer we wait the less we get for Dame and that huge albatross contract, get what you can and move on
