They are looking for one not in this year. They may have to settle for one this year.

yeah I know a lot of people despise Marang in here but that’s basically what he said in the radio today. All offers at the trade deadline were for picks in this years draft which is what they don’t want. If that’s what they end up with then no harm that they waited in hopes to get a future first

Not a fan of him. I listen for about 15 minutes on my drive home from work like 2 days a week maybe. Today, he was just shouting over Dusty and the other guy during the segment about needing to find a star, and it was annoying as hell, and terrible radio.

I totally get why he’s polarizing but hey…. I’m pretty polarizing too lol

I tend to agree with his opinions though.

I get the general concept of what he was going for. Need that star to win a title. I think Dusty's point was more from a casual fan perspective, hey, show me SOMETHING in a year please. And Danny doubled down with, even if it takes 13 years.

I actually agree with a lot of his opinions, but it's annoying how he yells over other people, disregards their ideas, or diminishes their points.

His delivery can be hard to listen to at times. But overall I tend to agree with him.

yeah that was actually really annoying but he was right
 
I don't have a trade idea just a wish. I wish we could turn Ant, Jerami, Malcolm, Tisse and Rob into the first pick in this draft and hopefully a future first or two.

With the first pick I'd want Alex Sarr and with the seventh pick I'd want Cody Williams.

I don't hate him, either. He's one of those Intense, know-it-all personality types, but I tend to agree with him more than I disagree. He's passionate about his job and isn't boring (imo). He rubs a lot of people the wrong way with how he responds to criticism or even differing opinions, which I don't care for but it doesn't stop me from listening to him.

Sounds like Cowherd and Rome. Not my cup of tea.
 
What about Ant and Grant to the Lakers?

Lakers end up with a better rotation to contend next year;

Davis - Reath
Lebron - Woods
Grant
Reaves - Bronny?
Simons

Not certain exactly what picks we want - I believe Lakers have traded away their 2025 and 2027 picks.... so we could get 2029 and 2031 picks from them, or maybe it would be better to just have one pick but multiple swaps from them as we already have 3 unprotected picks in 2029. Something such as get their 2030 pick and swaps in all of 2028, 2029, 2031.

Then maybe Brogdon to Chicago for a pick and our pick back but we save some salary.

We eat Balls contract and give Chicago a starting PG and Thybulle, they give us tax room, our pick back, and a 2027 swap.

Rome and Cowherd deliberately try to rile up their listeners. I don’t think Marang is doing that. He’s just passionate about sports and very opinionated.
 
Different idea, what about Simons to the Magic? I don't think any of Wagner/WCJ/etc make sense as Orlando wants role players to win now and the Blazers are years away from needing that. So eat whatever salary Orlando doesn't want, but get picks from them very far out so hopefully young Orlando has declined by then.

So Blazers cut salary for luxury tax, get a 2030 unprotected pick and a 2029 swap (Orlando gets the worst of PDX/ORL/BOS/MIL).

Might actually be able to flip Isaac on an expiring for something as well. Then still deal Brogdon/Grant for picks.

In July Milwaukee can trade away their 2031 pick unprotected - how about we get that from them as well? Dame can be reunited with his superfriend.

That is a huge gamble that Orlando would decline in those years when their stars will be in their prime.
That trade does not excite me at all.

Well we'd have unprotected picks from all of MIL, BOS, ORL all in the east. With so many it starts to become very likely one of them is a good lottery pick.
 
"Portland landed the seventh pick in the 2024 draft during the lottery, while also owning the 14th pick, and having four selections in the top 40. Scotto thinks the Trail Blazers could be looking for another first-rounder in exchange for Brogdon."

Wonder what the plan would be on adding another FRP in this draft?

I don't think we want to go from 5 rookies last year to 5 more rookies this year. I'd think we would either be trying to move up or flip some of these for a future draft.
Why not? If they're no good we'll get another high pick next year.

This isn't complicated. Get a lot of chances to swing high in the lotto. You only have to hit big once or twice, the rest you really just need talent and athleticism. Which, you'll get by default high in the lotto, unless your scouts and GM are just terrible.

We're going to suck for a while.
 
@SharpesTriumph--just want to say that I appreciate the effort you're making in generating content for this thread that is relevant to its actual purpose.

For the Orlando idea, what I've really been wanting, rather than more picks, is Anthony Black. I think he's got a chance to be an excellent backcourt complement to Scoot/Sharpe(/Banton). AB/WCJ for Ant works in either league year, and makes sense for both teams (IMO). Would also shave >$6M off next year's salary.

This is pretty close to what the Locked On guys proposed today. Mike Richman and the Orlando podcast guy proposed this trade:

If they're getting Ant I don't think there's any reason to think they will keep Fultz, I don't think they'll keep Gary Harris either and they haven't found much use for Okeke. So if they renounced those holds and keep the holds they have on the rest of their guys they could do something like this that would allow them to keep their starting C, who I don't think they'd be keen on giving up... maybe they'd even add another FRP.

Probably replace that 1st with the 2025 DEN 1st.

But yeah, this is a deal I would like. I don't think it would be their first option though. Probably something they would explore if they strike out on a few targets.

Take a look at the available and more specifically the unrestricted free agents that will be available.

https://www.spotrac.com/nba/free-agents/_/year/2024

Who on that list would the Magic take a swing on, let alone wait to strike out on before pursuing Ant with Black and a pick (either their's or the Nuggets) that projects to be in the bottom third of next year's draft???

That's fair because the opportunity there is pretty wide open but I think if they haven't found a better trade than Ant for Black and one of their 2025 FRPs then they'd pull the trigger on that the second day of the draft if Joe makes it available.
