Plausible destinations for our vets?

I'd much rather have Suggs than Anthony. Probably not a possibility though.

 

I wouldn't consider a starting lineup projected as a bad lottery team to be "damn special"

 

Scoot and Sharpe would have to both take quantum leaps forward.

It's a bit ironic, that our best player right now is probably Avdija.

 

that's only fair....the Blazers traded their best player for him

 

The BLAZERS are projected as a bad lottery team, but mainly because it's expected that they won't allow that lineup to happen. That lineup with a good-to-great coach is at least a GOOD lottery team.

 

I don't know why the Wizards did that. It's not like they needed to "tank".

I thought it would be a playoff team giving up a first for Brogdon.

 

two first round picks, quite possibly both in the lottery, for a player at the Brogdon/Grant level (RoCo deja vu?). Now, there's the upside factor since Avdija is 23; also the factor that he's on a budget contract for the next 4 seasons (guaranteed the Vulcans love that). The Wizards may have fucked up...they have that capacity. But apparently they evaluated Avdija's upside quite a bit lower than our optimistic takes out here

a lot of people did. Instead, the Blazers had to add two 1st's and two 2nd's to Brogdon to land Avdija. That may be predictive of the trade value of Grant-Ant-Ayton

 

I love how you sell it now as a potential lottery pick with value, but when we had acquired it, it was so far away that it's value was diminished. And you wonder why I consider you always a glass half empty poster.

 

I didn't sell a thing. I said it was "two picks, quite possibly both in the lottery". Is that false? And I was CLEARLY saying that in reply to another poster by talking about what may have motivated the Wizards to make that deal

 

Meh carrington may become something, but for now I’ll take the young promise of Deni who shows to play one of the most well rounded games you’ll see these days.

blazers stacking picks with no plan of improving the roster now… now that would be devastating. Deni was a mvp pickup for Cronin who has been absolutely crushing it in the face of plenty (unwarranted) criticism.

 

LAL fans have now found a way to trade for Curry! Two Frp and DLO et al. I shit you not.

 

But, doesn't that mean "bad" lottery team?

 

Dubs fans should counter with Wiggins & 2 picks for Anthony Davis.

 

seems pretty universally a win for the Blazers from both fanbases and leaguewide, just sharing their opinion and possibly agreeing

 

naaah, Wizards fans are not happy. Cronin pritchslapped DC. Now they're stuck with Jordan Poole, Kuzma rumors, an expiring Brogdon, and a possible bust #2 draft pick.

 

OK Michael Jackson
