Blazers trade the #7 pick for.....?

[Mr. Robot]

Good point. The 7th pick is a very steep price to me. Haven't had a pick this high in 10 years.
Indiana hasn't had a top 10 pick since 1989. I don't hear about them shopping their pick.

pacers are tearing it down or thats what media says

 

[illmatic99]

This again...

This again...

I'd rather keep #7 and take Murray, Sharpe, Mathurin.

Absent that, Dort and Duren at #12

 

[Freshtown]

Why are we interested in Dort when we have Ant, Dame, and Hart? Is the thought that they would trade one of them if we got Dort? Otherwise I don’t see the appeal.

Hart might get moved for a better piece.

Dort/Hart would be the start of building an elite bench.

However, Sharpe’s potential is too good to pass up.

Speculation….or?

 

[Predator]

*If* it’s Dort + 12 + Future First I *might* be able to be convinced. Especially if Sochan is still there at 12, who I think could be BPA @ 7.

But I think they’re doing too much. Trying to get too cute. Drafting BPA @ 7 is the move.

In some of the discussions, teams have asked.

I can’t imagine any of the better pieces that Hart would be moved for, besides OG. But if it’s Hart + 7th, we better be getting a future first back…

 

[illmatic99]

Unless hart gets moved, dort doesnt make sense.

 

[Predator]

If they move Hart they’re stupid.

Way, way better than Dort.

 

[blazedanugz]

Apparently the asking price for OG is..

#7
an additional first
Hart or nas

if that’s the case we ain’t getting OG

Agree
Hart is a 2-way player. Dort is not.

It's so interesting how people on this board feel compared to what I'm hearing from Mike Richmond. The guy was just gushing about OG and thought it would be a huge get for the Blazers.

kick rocks, toronto.

 

[Natebishop3]

It's funny to me because Toronto is in a similar situation as us. They don't have a second bonafide star, so the fact that they want our pick tells me that they're fishing for another star player..... which is exactly what we should do.

 

[LayneStaley]

Take Daniels at this point, god I wish we had a late lotto pick for Duren too. I’d feel good about that squad.

I think you can get Danielsesque in Dalen Terry later in the first. Maybe even Tari Eason.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I'd rather see exactly how much better Hart can get at this point and use the draft pick.

 

[LayneStaley]

We need an athletic big to snatch boards, get blocks and catch lobs.

 

[boredinsalem]

Maybe it's resignation that OG would require a lot, but I actually think a team like this could make some noise and preserve a pick for the future.

#7 and Keon for Lu Dort, #12, and 2023 first round pick (from Washington). Draft Agbaji, sign Mo Bamba, re-sign Nurk, Ant, and Ingles.

Lillard/Ant/Nas/Grant/Nurkic

bench rotation: Dort (1/2), Hart (2/3), Winslow (3/4), and Bamba
spot minutes/injury insurance: Ingles, Agbaji, Watford, Eubanks, B Williams, Brown, Didi

 

[illmatic99]

I have no idea what SAC is upto. A front court of Murray/Collins/Sabonis is scaring nobody.

I don't think they'd take Murray if they got Collins.

 

[Predator]

The Queens are doin' Queens things...

They aren't going to be able to guard a traffic cone

 

[Mediocre Man]

Unless hart gets moved, dort doesnt make sense.

Guys who can switch and guard multiple positions make sense

 

[blazerkor]

I don't think they'd take Murray if they got Collins.

Yeah, I'd think they'd take Ivey in that situation.

 

[TBpup]

I don't think they'd take Murray if they got Collins.

Any interest in getting involved and getting Harrison Barnes?

 

[Natebishop3]

Any interest in getting involved and getting Harrison Barnes?

I mean... yeah. I think he's a nice piece if you're looking to round out your roster. He's only making 18 million this year and it's the last year of his contract.

 

[illmatic99]

we'd have to send assets to land him with Bledose since we don't have our TPE anymore. No thanks.
