Trade Blazers trade for Thybulle

[BankTeller]

Think hes a bust but sure why not

If GSW were willing to trade a 1st with Wiseman for GPII, I don’t think it matters whether or not he’s a bust if we just got Thybulle. We really need a backup big, we aren’t competing this year, and we get another 1st.

I’d do it.

Already working on his highlight reel!

Hahahaha! Shouldn't take long....

Don't go selling KS short ... if Tince is the kind, does that make KS the god of hyperbole?

KS is a whole other level of ridiculousness. I don’t even count him. I have him on ignore.

Like many of his posts: Nate doesn't believe what he's saying, he's just making sure I receive an appropriate amount of hate.

I dnt think they'd include a first.

I'm a hoops ignoramus, but it seems to me that Thybulle is a pretty good replacement for Hart, at least on defense.

 

[blazerkor]

You think we are better than the Pels?

Without your boy Zion... yeah. I don't think he'll be available for the play-in but that's just a shot in the dark. I think he'll come back and then be injured again but we'll see.

I mean, what am I supposed to do with my Svi jersey now?

The warriors are not giving us a 1st to make the trade. Long term I want him. I like his potential/length. And he would give us depth if there is an injury. But how much better is he this year than Watford and Eubanks? I don't know because he never plays.

He is an upgrade on defense. He is not the ball handler, rebounder or fast break artist that Hart is. But, on the perimeter, he is an elite defender.

If Hart and GPII both end up leaving, we are going to see a lot fewer Sharpe lobs.

We might be at the start of seeing a lot more of Trendon - and he is a very good passer, especially for a big. Add Justise - and there are still good lob passers on the roster. I doubt both GP2 and Justise are going out, if either one is.

Why are Lillard and Simons such poor lob passers? Seems like something you could practice and improve....seems like Grant is bad too.

 

[Idog1976]

he

heck he's shooting 33.3% from 3 this season, 3 pts better than Hart was!

Which is actually 10% higher!

I think Hart/GPII are better at the fast break lobs though.

Over Trendon, yes. Over Justise, not imho.

Hey, we saw Dame throw a lob, sort of, yesterday.

I have seen both throw nice lobs to SS. Dame had one last night. But I liked Watford's better.

Other teams swing for the fences. Portland is just happy to get it out of the infield.

Probably the ideal scenario actually. No swing was putting Portland over the top and many of these big swings are going to miss, leaving the Blazers in a better position.

We're still ducking the tax after these moves, right?

Hard to believe she's related to Paul "What's a tax?" Allen

We shed a bunch of salary actually.

Bench has no proven shooters. These changes are lateral at best. But what are you gonna do. Some owners/GMs swing for the fences; go all in. POR just doesn't have what it takes to do that. They need two additional players better than Grant and then things get interesting.

And you expected that with the assets we have?

2 players better than grant? You just expected that? Just think about it for a second and then laugh that you ever thought about that.

 

[Strenuus]

It's funny seeing the same people who really wanted thybulle the last couple of years hate the trade where we gave up nothing for him..

Love the trade.

Out: Hart @ $13M

In: Thybulle ($4.4M), Reddish ($6.0M), Arcidiacono ($1.8M) = $12.2M

So Blazers cut ~$800k in salary. I wouldn't call that a bunch.
