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

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

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!

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

The idea that Lillard wouldn't play on any other team if traded would really be shitty of him if true. I hope this opens up the trade demand for Lillard and gives the Blazers an equitable return for his talents.

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

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

This is such a win for the Blazers. And only for the low price of Brogdon and the 14th pick of this draft.

Scoot is back!!! Will probably be on minutes restriction. Let's see how the game goes.

I'm hoping Duop Reath can recreate the FIBA magic that he had with Thybulle.

Yep the moves that the team should be going for are reclamation projects, and acquiring bad contracts for more assets (i.e. draft capital).

The cardinal sin the Olshey era did was we never dipped our toes in the lottery to surround Dame with talent that could have been acquired by trading assets from the lottery. Or Developed lottery level assets that could have helped Dame. By the time Cronin actually implemented said plan, it was too late. Olshey also gave away too many assets to acquire mediocre talent.

I hope the lesson we learned in the Sharpe/ Henderson era is that we cant be too good too fast. we need to fill our cupboard with assets to build a better foundation.
