TRADE KERFUFFLE-16

It could've been, but with Ant nearing his extension window, you could easily dress that up as a negotiating ploy (which it actually could have been).

Justin Edwards would be worth a look. N'Faly Dante would instantly be a fan favorite. Jalen Bridges as a decent sized wing who can shoot. Trentyn Flowers has an interesting frame and skillset, but super developmental.

Cheers to that!

:D to be clear, I was like 85% joking/flipping you shit. I've seen others call you out on it, and will admit that it makes the "board on the cell phone" experience more challenging, but was just having fun, you're good.

That'd be a feature, not a bug to me. We don't want to win next year, so no harm in having him not be there to help us, and the longer he's not around to have weird fits next to Scoot, the better we can evaluate exactly what he is and isn't (I happen to think he's a borderline superstar still...

Yet still allergic to the quote function

Deal in place w/ Grant, Timelord or Ant if the right player falls???

Likely trying to find a 3rd team for THJr.

Agreed. My point was the difference-makers at center that he brought up are difference makers BECAUSE they impact the game from the perimeter. That's why they're difference makers. Drafting Edey doesn't solve for any of that.

Wemby, Embiid and Jokic are difference makers because they can succeed on the outside as well as they can inside (or better). Edey guarding any of those guys on the perimeter would be a nightmare.

We're comparing Zach Edey to hall-of-famers now? Come on man, the league has evolved and he's a dinosaur. You have to take the totality of the prospect and the context in which they're being drafted into account, their advanced age is simply one strike against him. I'm all for the Blazers...

I'm not comparing games, I'm comparing contributions and role. Knecht would be, at best, our 4th guard. How much time is he getting? 10-15m a night? My point was you're using a lottery pick on career backups. Even in a bad draft that seems like a bad business decision.

Really? Older backups with nearly no upside, limited functionality who can, in the right situations contribute for ~10ish mins a night? Sounds about right to me...
