Then they don’t really want Giannis. There is a price to pay.

They need to get it from NY.

This draft is loaded. Portland should be trying to get a stud out of it rather than giving the pick to Chicago. Portland will be a playoff team next season barring injury.

Which is why I always thought this was a fools errand. And Portland should not be anyone’s bitch in this deal. No to KAT, no to Bridges. No to anyone else’s trash.

I can't recall exactly what Detroit took on, but they had to take on a bad contract or two to get Duren. They paid a price.

My thought on any trade is that a shooter is needed. And I do not see Sharpe getting better at it. His best offense is getting to the rim, which is also Avdija's talent. I would look to send him to PHX for Grayson Allen or a similar player since the Suns seem to have a glut of shooting wings.

I have no idea, but I'm not following this. The Paul Allen Estate owns 100% of the Blazers. Jody Allen owns zero. As I understand it, the new ownership group is purchasing 100% of the Blazers. For Jody Allen to "own" 20%, she has to be part of the new ownership group, correct?

And the odds makers should factor that into their models.

Rock paper scissors

I voted no, but because I already have a low opinion of the league. I was 12 when the Blazers won. I remember not seeing the locker room celebration. They cut away for golf. Taught me early that my team was never going to be dealt with fairly and with honor and respect. Three seasons later we...

I had $100 on it

Trading could be difficult as well. The team trading for Deni would inherit the same problem Portland is facing in resigning him. Inheriting the possibility he leaves in free agency. Just FYI.

Obviously this is my opinion.This is a chat site. There is nothing certain in sports, ever. With that said, some point to how Chauncey "raved" about Scoot. He better rave about Scoot, even though IMO he would rather have Brogdon, Jrue and Dame. Chauncey also raves about Jrue and Dame, as he...

Scoot is done in Portland. They traded for Jrue with three years and $100+ million on the books, then went and signed Lillard. I expect Scoot to play very little, do very little, have nagging injuries and eventually ask to be traded. Doubt he is offered a rookie extension. Obviously Billups has...
