But I would 100% draft Allan Houston :-D

Vassell is ok but there will likely be one of the players I see as similar floor, higher ceiling at 8.


I don't necessarily want him either at #8. I prefer Okoro, or Kira. Unless someone like Hayes or Obi falls there. But Vassell will be a solid player for a long time. The shot not fluid but I like his high release point. He kinda slingshots it, but that shot can get off when contested cuz of how high it is and the fact he also catapults it from back behind his head.

Yeah, it's not a MKG sort of form problem. But you know exactly what the bolded means. He screams role player to me and it's not one of those situations where it looks like we'd otherwise go for a boom bust potential guy aka Mikal v Knox.

Yeah, agreed cuz I mentioned that. But if we could acquire another pick I still would consider him. I'm not as scared off by the shot as most. I've seen some worse forms.

Here this is for you Melo

Yeah maybe with another pick I’ll roll the dice on him. But I’ll pass on him at #8 with no hesitation

On this episode of 60 Minutes, a look into Smash's journey to the first pick.

Blazers start with: Bagley.
Image

Bagley turns into Cook and Nunn.
Irving is exiled for cap space.
Nunn turns into Smart.
Smart turns into Powell.
Smart comes back to the Blazers in a roundabout way.
Smart gets flipped for Brogdon.
Brogdon and McGee go for the first overall pick.

The Trades:
Spoiler:
The Portland Trailblazers have agreed to trade Marvin Bagley III to the Toronto Raptors and Justin Jackson to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Quinn Cook and Kendrick Nunn.

7/13- The Portland Trailblazers have agreed to trade Kyrie Irving, Jeff Green and Courtney Lee to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for a 2022 1st round draft pick.

7/16- The Phoenix Suns have agreed to trade Marcus Smart and a 2022 2nd round draft pick to the Portland Trailblazers in exchange for Kendrick Nunn and the removal of protections on the 2022 1st round draft pick that Portland currently owes Phoenix.

8/11- The Portland Trailblazers have agreed to trade Marcus Smart and a 2021 2nd round draft pick (From Denver) to the Miami Heat in exchange for Norman Powell.

8/24- The Miami Heat have agreed to trade Marcus Smart to the Portland Trailblazers in exchange for JaVale McGee, a 2021 2nd round draft pick (From Golden State) and the right to swap 2022 1st round draft picks with the Los Angeles Clipper pick that Portland currently owns.

8/26- The Chicago Bulls have agreed to trade Derrick Favors, Evan Turner and future considerations to the Portland Trailblazers.

10/14- The Portland Trailblazers have agreed to trade Malcolm Brogdon and JaVale McGee to the Miami Heat in exchange for Andre Roberson, Gorgui Dieng and the #1 pick in the 2020 BaF draft.

9/5- The Miami Heat have agreed to trade JaVale McGee to the Portland Trailblazers in exchange for Quinn Cook, a 2021 2nd round draft pick and future considerations.

10/1- The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to trade Malcolm Brogdon to the Portland Trailblazers in exchange for Marcus Smart

10/14- The Portland Trailblazers have agreed to trade Malcolm Brogdon and JaVale McGee to the Miami Heat in exchange for Andre Roberson, Gorgui Dieng and the #1 pick in the 2020 BaF draft.

Marcus Smart starts in Phoenix --> Portland --> Miami --> Portland --> Milwaukee.
Javale McGee starts in Portland --> Miami --> Portland --> Miami
Miami and Portland complete a stunning five trades in one offseason.

To some, Smash was the defacto GM of Miami. His disappearance still remains a mystery to this day, but some have speculated that it was Smash all along pulling the strings. Some say that Smash didn't want any of the smoke with the Warriors and made a great mistake in trading Irving. Some say if you listen quietly Smash is already hard back at work trying to get Smart and McGee back.
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.
