2 quick Blazers examples 1. Steve Blake improved on micro skills whenever the next, young phenom arrived at PG. Challenged by a guy who could drive...
Thank you for the thread and the post-NBA information on Bridgeman. R.I.P. Junior
Since the Blazers have already made it a point to get bigger, longer, athletic — lean into it. Go big. Clingan is the dude at center. And Reath is...
Just a reminder of the odds of getting a top 4 pick: 8: 26.3% 9: 20.27% 10: 13.88%
Unless a particular NBA team is just not what he wants and no trade of him is possible — then I’d be shocked if he stayed in college. The dude likes...
https://ripcityproject.com/trail-blazers-repeat-wizards-costly-mistake-deni-avdija 1. Veterans were needed this season to have functional play so...
Grant has had a bad year, but he’s NOT at the point in his career of being a back-up. Still a guy who D’s up. His shot has taken a leave of absence....
The Deni trade — excellent. The Camara part of the Nurk trade — excellent. Two-way, starting forwards. Toumani 24 (25 in May) Deni 24 Sharpe 21 (22...
Billups has lost enough games as a head coach on behalf of Portland. Get into the lottery, get lucky, trade Ant, Grant, Ayton and Thybulle. Bring in...
Getting Avdija and his contract for assets — but not an overpay at all … IMHO — as a result of months of setting it up to get it done last summer....
Smart, strategic, calculated defenders are so much fun to watch. They don’t have to try for blatant, obvious, dramatic intimidation. They do the job...
Guys with some attitude, intensity, physicality who will lay the wood — not dirty as much as send a message. Clingan has those beginnings and will...
Toumani and Deni are already looking like starters for 2025-2026. Clingan is the heir apparent center? Does anyone expect Ayton to beat him next year...
Simons can look better on D than he used to and is against starters, but he needs trading. His gravity on O and shooting from 2-3 levels are also...
Sharpe (and his handles) and Scoot have significantly improved this season. Not ready yet but better. With Clingan and Camara’s D and some O … Deni...
Clingan, Avdija, Camara — young quality. Any potential all star selections? (Injury replacement player?) Maybe. Scoot, Sharpe — same comment, same...
Ant for Black in a package to Orlando this summer would be good. This can be one of those trades conversations that was — but just did not happen,...
Make it to the playoffs, get swept, and pay off Chicago with the pick. Keep Ayton, Simons, and Grant because it’s now a “playoff team” with guys in...
Ant and Grant are good players. Not all star or almost all star or whatever people tried to say CJ was. Good. Grant will be too old for the next...
All about the contracts … Grant can be traded this summer … with his longer contract sooner is better. By February, 2026, Ayton has to be gone as...
