As long as the Blazers aren't bullied into taking a bad deal.

If the 3rd pick is traded for Siakam who is expiring, I will personally riot.

I actually like the draft the Blazer have. Scoot is a great pick. Murray is a wing that can contribute now. And Rupert is a defensive steal, low risk second round steal.

Maybe we can convert a few guys. But this was great for the Blazers.

All the Blazers had to do was hold on to the ball. Oh well, happy for Jabari.

I'm here praying to the Basketball gods that the injury is minor like what happened to Shaedon Sharpe last year.

I think the ideal trade for the blazers would be a three team trade.

Ant Simons + Portland's #3 -> Washington

Beal + Portland's #23 -> Boston

Brown -> Portland

Washington gets to rebuild quickly with a great player in Simons and with either Miller or Scoot.

Beal balances Boston's roster.

Brown is the defensive wing that Portland is looking for.

Google used to have Duo but I think they’ve got discontinued

It didn't get discountinued it just got renamed to also Google meet. The web version duo.google.com still works.

Unfortunately Google hasn't properly integrated the two apps, so you will need to download both versions of "Google Meet"

I want to see the rematch for Wemby vs Scoot. Looking forward to that July 9 game.

I wish there is a way to have flairs. I'm a lifelong Blazer fan. Just the thought of letting go of a future with Brandon Miller or even Scoot Henderson (if Charlotte is going to let scoot slip) is baffling to me. Its just not worth a Pascal expiring.

i just made one. https://lemmy.world/c/ripcity

I am hoping that Dame stays. There is just no scenario outside of LeBron/ PG/ Kawhi forcing their way to Portland, that we are even in championship contention in the near term. But in 2 years… I truly believe we will be in contention with our current trajectory.

I think the likely scenario is that he stays. The assets we would require from the other team for Dame’s talent would carve/ hollow out that team. It’s not like Dame is expiring, or becoming a free agent, we have him for 4 more years! He can threaten to pout, but his best chance at a championship is still with Portland.

Blazers finally won a game!

All the Blazers has to do was hold on to the ball at the end. Oh well.

DLo and Westbrook are the only 2 players that I see that most teams should avoid.

Kinda funny how this whole drama was completely media generated. Lillard didnt ask for a trade, the Blazers wasnt shopping him. But a whole narrative was created to whip us all up in a frenzy.

Spoelstra. Dame for Spo straight up.

It still baffles me that the 2011 Mavericks and the 2020 Laker team broke up their championship core trying to chase big names. Cheers to the Nuggets for keeping it together.

As long as the Blazers keep the 3rd pick, I'll be happy.

But also not sure Miami has enough of either.

That's the key right there. Portland has Lillard locked up for 4 more years. There is no hurry for the Blazers to send him away for pennies on the dollar. The only trade I'm willing to entertain is if Spoelstra is included in the deal. Lillard goes to Miami, Spoelstra comes home.

With Harden out, Blazers should trade Scoot, Simons, and Nurkic for Embiid.
