    I don’t hate the pick, but we’re going to suck next season.

    I think we're a lot more functional and better defensively than we were yesterday.

    Clingan averaged 23 minutes a game last year. Better have a good back up

    Maybe this dude (Clingan) is an absolute monster and no one gets a layup or dunk against us in the set offense at any point when he's on the floor and on the other end he's Shaq. Maybe Avdija is the glue guy on both ends that makes everything work going forward. Let's hope this is the case.

    Some of the best scouts in the NBA are excited about Clingan...I'm excited to see what he can do. I'm a big Przybilla fan, so excited to see those screens and blocks.

    Definitely not in the trade everyone camp

    I don’t think the Blazers are done making trades.

    I think you're right but I don't think the trades will be designed to keep us from sucking next season. They'll be designed to give us the best chance to not suck in like two or three seasons.

    I think perhaps it happens after Free Agency when some teams don't get what they wanted.

    The Blazers got a couple of white guys. You still need a couple white guys.

    and Grant's contract will start to look much more reasonable.
