So now two picks, or a couple of picks is the same as alot of picks????

Riiighhht….

Ant is still youngish. Anyone much younger will not have been proven enough to garner such a return.

Are you saying Ant/Ayton and four to five picks and possible pick swaps couldn't bet us an all star?

If so, I disagree.
You are referring to mostly the Olshey era and what he was/wasn't able to do. and he was by and large an idiot.

two 1st round picks, possibly both lottery picks....for Avdija. Two first's and Brogdon bought the Blazers a role player who is coming off the bench. Now you're saying 4 or 5 more picks plus swaps for some hypothetical all-NBA player? In other words, 6-7 first round picks, + swaps, for Avdija and Mr. X. LOL....OK.

replace Simons & Ayton with Donovan Mitchell or Kawhi in street clothes or Trae Young (ignoring that the other team wouldn't touch both of those empty stat dead weights). The Blazers aren't anywhere close to being a contender, and might not even make the play-in, this year or next.

it looks like you took so much exception to me saying the only way for Portland to land an elite player is the draft, that you fell off the deep end, hit your head on the landing, and are coming up with a loopy exception you apparently think makes sense.

I'll trigger you again: the only way for Portland to realistically and logically land a couple of top-15 to top-20 players in the next 2-4 years is the draft

Looks like my disagreeing with you triggered you. Im sorry if there is a difference of definitions between a couple and alot.
Again. I disagree with you.

Even hcp admitted we won a few he didn't think we could.
Some people are just so set on never being wrong, they just cant admit there might be a little more talent on the current roster in the youth, than originally thought.
We beat the clippers and houston on the road. Beat minni twice at home. Im willing to bet, those arguing with me had those as losses. But still just cant admit we might be even slightly better than they had predicted.
some people are simply ridiculous with their bs trying to spin everything possible to avoid even an inkling of being wrong…

jokers.
