Re: Draft lottery
A better asset than expected. A talent drop from 3-4 so this is great.
The only bad part is if we keep the pick and keep Lillard, Charlotte is a lock to not pick Scoot with Lamelo being their PG. Unless they don't draft Miller, unlikely, then Scoot is the worst fit from the big 3 for us.
Miller could even be a net positive for the team next year helping Dame and building towards the future.
If there isn't a deal for a good vet to help dame, then maybe trading dame makes sense.
With the PDX center curse, a small part of me is happy Wembanyama will have a long career in the NBA. Spurs somehow always luck out on the generational big men and keep them healthy.

Thank you! I'm rooting for you guys in the east because I love Tatum's game so much.

Re: Draft lottery
Yeah it's nice we got #3 but to be that close to a #1 pick was pretty rough. Overall though a great day for the Blazers who now have a very nice trade asset.

Yeah, I could have done without the knowledge of how close the numbers were. That said, overall happy and I loved seeing BRoy back, really hoping he's going to be more and more a part of the franchise. Was so cool seeing him rep the team, great good-vibes call by Cronin.

My dream is seeing Brandon as an assistant coach with the organization, he has done a lot of good work in coaching over the past 5 years or so. I'm not sure he would make a great NBA head coach, but I'm sure many Blazer fans would love to see him work in the coaching world for the Blazers.

Re: Draft lottery
Portland would have to let Grant walk if they traded for Siakum/OG. As it stands with Dame,
that might be $120 million in long term contracts.

New G-League team would be a great starting point...

Happy to keep Sharpe. OG is overrated as hell.

Re: Draft lottery
Blazers wouldn't trade Sharpe and #3 for Siakam/OG no way. One or the other....
Return to Portland Trail Blazers
