Exclusive Anthony Davis Sweepstakes Entry: Blazers

[illmatic99]

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Yeah, but the future picks won't be high.

We shall see. The last team to have AD just got the #1 pick.

 

[illmatic99]

Kemba/Lebron/AD is a title contender next year if they get the right role players around em

 

[Rastapopoulos]

no Kuzma

Big fucking deal. Kuzma is a sieve on D and an inefficient scorer. Glad he's there to take shots from better players.

 

[Reep]

The big upside for NO was that they took dumped salary too and gained little. If they can keep spending under control and draft well . . . except they are probably a lot like Portland when it comes to FAs. Zion even sounded like he wanted a bigger spotlight. I wonder if Holiday is available on the cheap.

This is full Philly strategy, no? [I know, never go full Philly.]

And stay injury-free - no guarantee with James and Davis.

They didn't even dump Solomon Hill. That would've prevented the Lakers from being able to offer a max.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I wouldn't be surprised.
(Don't forget that the Sixers started "the process" by trading Holiday... to New Orleans.)

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Cracks me up Woj acting like NO didnt just get completely ripped off. They would have likely been better hanging on to AD and letting him play out his contract and having Cap space next year.

 

[Scalma]

Ingram and ball are awful fits with Zion and Jrue. This seems more quantity than quality. “Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity”

 

[hoopsjock]

The only silver lining in this trade is that it's pretty funny that Lonzo has to play in New Orleans.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

They didn't even dump Solomon Hill. That would've prevented the Lakers from being able to offer a max.

The only FA it would enrage me if they signed would be Kawhi.

 

[e_blazer]

Just a friendly reminder:

Were not getting AD.

Were Portland.

 

[hoopsjock]

They now have the #1 and #4 picks in this draft and two future firsts. They also have a solid core going for them as well with JRue, Randle, and now Ingram.

They are expected to pick Zion at #1. Who do you think they will target at #4?

Randle is a free agent.

At #4 I'm guessing either Hunter or Culver.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Randle is a free agent.

At #4 I'm guessing either Hunter or Culver.

Oh and unrestricted at that.

Were Portland.

Yeah, not funny.

Well, maybe a little, but only grammatically.

 

[Reep]

I think it's way too early to call the fit on this one. Ball and Zion both push hard. Ingram runs well. If they want to run the ball down other teams throats then they have a good start.

Don't forget that losing AD now, not next season, gets them a better draft pick in 2020 also, and keeps the FA money available.

 

[Strenuus]

As I said.

They got the #1 with AD there this year.

As I said.

You we’re right.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Cant believe the Pels were so dumb they didnt even make them take Hill. Now LAL probably gets Kawhi or someone like that and well they become the best team in the conference I guess. Good job idiots in New Orleans.

Bullshit.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Like I said before, no way in hell would I want to trade for a injury-prone (yet talented) player who's already made his mind on where he wants to play. Just imagine if he gets hurt AGAIN and misses extensive periods of time. No thanks.

No way in hell do I think Kawhi goes to LAL. To the Clippers is more understandable because he's not all about the glamour as suggestively reported before. The bigger question is: will he even leave TOR? I don't think so but I sure as hell hope not.

 

[Labinot41]

I hope we do not play the pelicans ever again in the Playoffs, Lonzo and Jrue is a elite defensive duo and they got Zion in the Paint, ugh

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Bullshit.

What part? Im not saying they get Kawhi but they have the money to sign another max guy dont they?

LMAOOOOO was that a serious post?

No, bullshit they didn't have to take Hill.

Not to put words in his mouth, but he might be saying it's Bullshit that the Lakers get what they want and screw the Pelicans at the same time. And possibly having the chance to sign Kawhi.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

No, bullshit they didn't have to take Hill.

My bad.
