We are not winning a ring soon unless we get Giannis or maybe Embiid. Danny Ainge would have traded Dame for 10 first rounders, the number 3 pick to move up and take Scoot

I think they tried to acquire him at the previous deadline before they got RoCo.

probably like how Olshey "tried" to acquire PG13 with Meyers and Harkless, or Butler with Turner and Aminu

And honestly I don’t see how Dame would still be on the roster if we got Scoot. I think that would be the end and we would build around Scoot and Shae.

This is how: Because the Blazer bench was the biggest reason the team struggled.
Fix the bench with Scoot and Sharpe and some better bench players, the Blazers are in the playoffs.

Ant has to go dude. Especially if we drafted Scoot. There’s no way we would go into next season with Dame, Ant, Scoot, and Sharpe.
 
Hard to see Scoot not turning out decent at least. Not many players that love basketball in the wall Scoot obviously does. Will probably take a few years though....

Wish he was 6-7.

What I mean is that they were probably looking at Ariza + Ant + 1st (or 2, I'm not sure), which Olshey did not do. He then turned around, traded Ariza and 2 1sts for RoCo that summer.

Still the wrong deal, but I don't think we had a chance at getting Gordon during the following trade deadline.

100%. He has that hunger of young LeBron, along with his basketball junkie mindset, and yoked out beyond his years body. The height is definitely the biggest difference.

it would have had to have been Bazemore at the trade deadline, and Ariza in the off-season. IIRC, Ariza was a deadline day trade

what I remember was rumors Orlando might be interested in CJ for Gordon +, and of course, there's no way Olshey would have trade CJ

You're right it was Bazemore. IIRC it was Bazemore + Ant + 1st and Olshey turned that down.

foregone conclusion that ant is gone. and i don't think his departure has anything to do with scoot -- it's rather to open up time for Sharpe.

I'm gonna go on record again: I love Scoot. I hope the Blazers get a chance to take him and do the obvious thing of snapping him up.

I’m not against using the pick to draft, scoot, or Miller. I just don’t like the idea of drafting somebody and keeping Dame. Especially a guard. Trade the pick for a more polished wing that can help Dame now or use the pick, trade Dame for draft picks/assets for the new Blazers era. All I want is for the team to show that they have a direction.

So you're saying Damian Lillard is easily replaced?
Click to expand...
He’s easier to replace than say, Kevin Durant, yeah. Or realistically any “wing” that is on par with him as a player.

There are a lot more people born who are 6’3 and under then there are people who are 6’6 and over.

I hear you, but I don't feel the same way.

If we had traded the #7 last year for, say, OG... it would have been a direction. We probably would have made the playoffs.

But we wouldn't have Sharpe, and we wouldn't have Scoot.

Personally, I'd be fine with keeping Dame and the rest of the team together, adding Scoot, and letting the team play. We wouldn't be a championship contender, but we'd have two key young pieces and we almost certainly wouldn't be one of the 10 worst teams in the NBA. Having a chance to win most nights and having two potential young studs is exciting to me.

Yes if we draft Scoot......but he fits well with Sharpe and Amen, even if it is off the bench.

Danny Ainge would sell his soul for an extra pick. Might have already done so.
 
*If* we draft Scoot, we better trade Simons for a starting caliber SF, bare minimum.

Not interested in trading Dame if we draft Scoot.

This is what you said:
They say money doesn’t grow on trees, but 6’3 guards do.

False. KD hasn't won anything on his own either. He chased the ring. Has got ants in his pants as far as staying happy in one place, and is often injured. I don't think he's as good a leader , or closer as Dame. If it comes down to a last shot, i'm giving it to Dame.
 
I would have much more respect for Durant if he had stayed in OKC and saw it out. They were close. But impatience led to their demise.

6’3 guards do, which is a generalized statement.

You specifically asked about replacing Damian Lillard, to which I gave a specific response.

That’s like someone saying, “a guard that shoots 38% from 3 is easily replaced” and then you saying “so it’s easy to replace Steph curry?”

Not all 6’3 guards are Damian Lillard, but there’s a lot of really fucking good short guards in the league right now.

Lol, ok buddy. If you honestly think a healthy, prime Durant is easier to replace than Damian Lillard I’ve got oceanfront property in South Dakota for ya.

Let me guess, Dame is better than LeBron too?

Did i say that? No LeBron is on another level. Like MJ.
 
Shaedon Sharpe has basically the same standing reach (8' 7.5" ) and wingspan (6' 11.5" ) as the Thompson twins. If the Blazers draft Scoot Henderson, Sharpe could get minutes at small forward.

Or we could just be done with trying to justify playing our guards as forwards and instead play our SG at the SG position. This is giving me “norm powell actually has a 6’11 wingspan” vibes.

He'll already be the strongest, most athletic point guard next season. I don't think he needs a few years to be effective.
