So what is a decent return? A 2nd round pick in 45-60 range? He obviously isn't worth a FRP like Josh Hart was starting for us - nor a high 2nd rounder. Those late 2nd round picks are the types the Blazers just sell for cash in recent years. I just don't see the point in trading him away for...

I'd vote to keep him. Sure if some team would give up a good pick or it helps offload Grant's contract, etc then send him out. That sounds very unlikely. But if its just a crappy 2nd round pick I'd rather see what Timelord provides the rest of the season. Been fun watching the Blazers get...

Egor is the grandson of Larry Demic who played with the Knicks from 1979-82 scoring 976 points in a 3 year NBA career before he went to Russia, corrected the spelling of his name and had a boy Vladimir Dëmin - Egor's father. Or not.

But yeah I forgot the fan vote is only 50% - so with Wemby missing games very possible Deni gets more of the players/media vote and jumps into top5.

Surreal to see Deni right above LeBron/Durant. Deni is very close to Edwards, he might pass him or already have. Going to be tough to catch Wemby though;

Guess I can just vote all Blazers - this will be my next ballot;

Ahh good point... I tried to be more fair on the best players/teams. But yeah no way to get Deni top 5 if I'm voting for the guys ahead of him.

So appears every 14.5 hours you can vote

Voted

The Larry Nance/Markkanen trade was in 2021 with Chicago... We have pushed that draft pick back more than enough years - I'm totally fine with finally handing it over in 2026. Plus giving it to Chicago now guarantees we get our 2027 pick and the 2028 unprotected swap with Milwaukee becomes...

Any chance CJ gets bought out and comes here? He's still got his winery I believe. We could really use a guard right now.

CJ and Kispert. No Picks! Scoring guards with crappy D have no buyers. Simons and Young traded for basically nothing. Clarkson signs for the minimum. The Jazz have to give up a pick to trade Sexton for Nurk!

Maybe the idea is 20 million reimbursement this year in 2026 or something - but that amount jumps up as NBA cap and tax increases to where its 70-100 million per year in a decade or two. So yeah Dundon pays 600 million now, but in ~15 years he pockets a couple billion back from "jock tax"...

The Blazers sold it to the city for a $1. I'd imagine they could easily just have an agreement to buy it back for the same. If the state/city front $600 million their not going to be able to "reimburse themselves" back to cover it at 20 million a year.
