Trade Blazers trade for Robert Covington!!

[illmatic99]

Christian Wood > Gallo

we can't get him. Why would Detroit let him go?

 

[TBpup]

What about off bench?

Dame/Simons
CJ/GT2
RoCo/Hood
Gallo/Melo
Nurk/Collins

Pass. He will be 37 by next year's Playoffs. He defense will be even worse.

 

[MickZagger]

Anthony Mason. When we drafted him, he was 185 lbs. He goes to Turkey and gains 50-60 lbs of muscle. Can you say 'roids?

We drafted him. But he was never a Blazer.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Great trade!!!!!

now trade CJ

For what position? A better SG? Doubtful. An athletic wing? We just got one. And we’re good at center.

 

[TheGoldRanger]

I am so happy right now! Love Roco!

 

[Scalma]

What about off bench?

Dame/Simons
CJ/GT2
RoCo/Hood
Gallo/Melo
Nurk/Collins

I doubt Melo would come off the bench in Portland, and if he did, I doubt terry would have the restraint to not play him 30 minutes anyway.

 

[DDolla]

By the way... is Hassan gone or are we trading him?

 

[MickZagger]

Covington is a great pickup. One of the premier wing defenders in the league.

 

[Chris Craig]

By the way... is Hassan gone or are we trading him?

Gone

Sign and trade to Miami for MyLe.

 

[B-Roy]

We still have issues on offense in the playoffs. Can't rely on Dame to go super human every game.

 

[illmatic99]

Sign and trade to Miami for MyLe.

i would do that.

 

[Labinot41]

Good trade, good job by Neil Olshey.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Ariza AND 2 1sts? Damn...I like RoCo, but that seems like a lot!

2 firsts? Are they lottery picks? If not, please stop complaining
Lolol

 

[Strenuus]

Been wanting RoCo for years.

Like people said... that 2021 first needs to be heavily protected.

But damn, finally a smart move.

 

[BlazerBeav]

yeah, with our luck we’ll make it to the finals only to play his team.

I will accept that price!

 

[Labinot41]

Yeah non lottery picks are extremely overrated imo. 90% of the time you just draft a role Player

 

[JoshuaHall]

Good trade, good job by Neil Olshey.

and hell just froze over

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wooow I really love this trade. And I’m usually very pessimistic but this is the type of trade other teams do and I go “wow why can’t we do something like that!”

Great move

 

[e_blazer]

I wonder where Ariza will end up after the Rockets waive him.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Well, I know you guys love him more than me. On paper, he is basically Harkless (Both 6'8" with a long 7'2" wingspan, who makes about 33% from deep. (But I do like him a little more than Hark.)
I hate giving up next year's pick though.

Its protected. So unless you think we’ll be a garbage team next year, not sure why you care

 

[BigGameDamian]

Denver?

Gordon/Ross. Start GTJ. Bradley with MLE.

Dame/Bradley(/Simons)
GTJ/Ross(/Hezonja)
RoCo/Hood(/Little)
Gordon/Melo?(/Gabriel)
Nurk/Collins

 

[Pinwheel1]

Its protected. So unless you think we’ll be a garbage team next year, not sure why you care

Why would I care about draft picks? Because any team that struggles in the free agency needs them. And next year is supposed to be a deep draft. Assets are always important. Having said that, I am ok with trading them, but I would be happier if we still had next years.

 

[Labinot41]

Starting to think ET is coming back, he'd be great in the locker room though, on the court not so much

 

[PDXFonz]

Watching @hoopsjock and @BonesJones talk about it live now

Who the hell took aldos account?!

 

[THE HCP]

Christian Wood > Gallo

THE FUCK!!??

 

[THE HCP]

Watching @hoopsjock and @BonesJones talk about it live now

Who?

 

[ehizzy3]

I like this move. Covington plays with a lot of energy, that will be great when the fans are back. He’s a streaky shooter but his defense and hustle make up for it IMO


Our only pick this year is #46
