Since Orlando is a right-now, lower playoff team with 2 good, big forwards with a demonstrable need for guard shooting … with the 16th pick, the...
If the price is right and with Zion’s heavily protected contract, a trade makes some sense. If the protections kick in, they can bail on the...
1. Lottery. Top 4 or at 10. Either way, the talent improves on the roster. 2. Trades of veteran players has to happen for the team salary in the near...
Split the 9/10 balls. Flip for who gets 9 if neither moves up AND for who gets an extra ball if there is one. Happens at the lottery.
Wanting to trade Sharpe? I don’t understand that, either. I agree he has the abilities and has worked on his skills and play. Including him in trades...
I agree. EDIT: I am always late to the party on wanting coaches fired or specific, young players traded. Shaedon is no exception. So a trade for a...
Of the risky players — and there’s a good number of them — if Zion physically is good, putting him with Clingan, Deni, Toumani, and Scoot is a...
1. TraderBob was fun in free agency. KP was fun in the draft. A lot of good times. Some not good because chemistry matters. 2. Hands off Deni and...
Clingan, Flagg, Deni, Toumani Sharpe and Scoot — 3 point shooting a work in progress (at some volume) Ant — gets his own shot as a volume 3 pt...
Get me some more medium swings if it’s going to Deni’s. I like the Jarace Walker and Black swings. Toss in a side of Johnny Furphy from Indiana....
Monty Williams was fired in Phoenix (after 4 years and some success) with 3 years left on his contract and $20M. Monty Williams was fired from...
1. Get a list of teams from Beal where he would agree to go. His 2 years + player option is the hardest trade. He’s only 31, but it’s step 1 with a...
You’re not wrong — and that’s not a backhanded compliment. The Deni trade was the right one to make, IMHO. The minimum 3 trades NOT made tanked the...
A complex chain of events can eventually be used to confirm MANY possible theories. So I’m not saying anyone is wrong just that getting Den Avdija...
1. The Trail Blazers traded the 14th pick last summer (in a weaker draft) and their 2nd best of 3 in 2029 and Brogdon (who was MBEC and needed a new...
On D, Flagg knows what he’s doing. On O, against college players — against good teams — Flagg will decide time to shoot a 3 and make it … feels like...
Done with Billups. The Blazers may still enter the lottery at #9 … maybe. 8 is looking more distant … Not helping. I get that winning games is the...
Not Billups. He’s already lost enough after being hired to coach a Dame team not this one. Thank him. Move on to a new generation of Portland Trail...
Clingan, Avdija, Camara, Sharpe, Scoot If Sharpe was traded in a package to bring in Dyson Daniels (or better), okay. Becoming seriously good on D is...
Egor Demin is willing to shoot and has plenty to improve, but his passing/playmaking and size would be outstanding. Bigs at PF who are lob threats...
