Event 2024 NBA DRAFT - JUNE 26 & June 27 2024 - WEDNESDAY 5:30 PM PST & THURSDAY - 1 PM PST - ABC & ESPN

[TYDame]

Ayton can play his mid range jumpers now like Aldridge. We have Clingan inside

 

[Idog1976]

Not sure if you saw us give up the most drives in the league last year + 70% shooting at the rim. Think Cronin and crew were tired of seeing guys blow by our guards nonstop and getting free shots at the rim.

That's an Ant issue and wings who can help, will help that as they can also guard guards if need be. We needed to trade no defense Ant, not draft a WBAC which btw I agree with 100000000000000000000000000000000000% is always a mistake for over 40 years now. Walton this guy is not.

 

[cdub503]

Especially with the number of injuries we saw last season.

Id be shocked if Ayton took this well at all. That’s the only reason why I’d say trade.

 

[B-Roy]

It is interesting generally, but as a Blazers fan it's disappointing to me... moving the #14 is a bummer for tonight, at minimum, and taking a backup isn't that exciting.

Everyone they could have taken at 7 would be a backup next season.

 

[Whyachi]

Edey looks like a 7 footer playing in a church community center

Huh so Ayton as a PF? Hmmm...that's something I hadn't considered. Interesting maybe that's the plan.

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[Pinwheel1]

starting to worry about what we could have gotten at 14

 

[LayneStaley]

Is that Deni trade good if Matas is sitting there at 14

 

[TYDame]

Nice pick Jazz

 

[Sheldon Shape]

What does Cling Kong do that Eubanks didn’t do.

That's just silly. Eubanks was one of the worst defensive centers in the league. By the numbers.

 

[LayneStaley]

No way chi passes on hometown kid

 

[Idog1976]

Need to trade Grant then, I mean we have needed to trade him all year long so that's not new, but it becomes a bit more urgent now.

 

[PDXFonz]

I got a feeling this is gonna be great for our future.

 

[Whyachi]

Chauncey's guy went to Utah.

maybe Danny Ainge is up for a deal ??

 

[Irish Trader]

This draft is fun as heck. Much better than last year.

Agree

 

[Driew]

Teams are going to regret passing on Cody I bet.

 

[LayneStaley]

That's just silly. Eubanks was one of the worst defensive centers in the league. By the numbers.

It was a joke

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Broken.
Stiff.
Stiff.

Man, I love it when the Blazers take centers.

I’d be happy if Clingan became aprime Joel Przbilla.

 

[MickZagger]

I wanted Cody williams instead we get this shit

 

[TYDame]

Can you take back a proposed trade?

 

[Ed O]

Everyone they could have taken at 7 would be a backup next season.

Yes, that's true. Let me restate: a backup behind a 25 year-old who is our highest-paid player and with whom he can't be on the court at the same time since they are both only capable of playing one position.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Sheesh. 2031 unprotected

Bettering on incompetence. Very smart.

 

[B-Roy]

Buzelis gone

 

[Tweak]

Huh so Ayton as a PF? Hmmm...that's something I hadn't considered. Interesting maybe that's the plan.

Pretty sure that I read somewhere that DA prefers the PF spot and considers it his natural position. Twin Towers?

 

[B-Roy]

Yes, that's true. Let me restate: a backup behind a 25 year-old who is our highest-paid player and with whome he can't be on the court at the same time since they are both only capable of playing one position.

Stop thinking as if that 25 year old is in any plans longer than 2 years.

 

[PDXFonz]

He might be happy to do this. Going to be really interesting to watch how this plays out.

 

[Chris Craig]

Can you take back a proposed trade?

You can

 

[Driew]

I mean Ayton has said he's preferred position has always been PF.

 

[Whyachi]

cheeze-it Taco bell looks scary good
