Does anyone else find it a little pathetic they’re including this in an email to season ticket holders?

They didn't have Stephen A.'s quote of "Dame needs to get the hell out of Portland..."

Winning the NBA title is much to do with team chemistry, healthy roster come playoffs, and a shitload of luck. What the Blazers could use is a replacement of Nurkic. I truly don’t see him contributing to chemistry, health nor luck. Great kid from what I can tell, but imagine our roster with a more athletic center? A more athletic center will help with chemistry. I’ll take Ayton for Nurkic, Little, Johnson and a future 1st.

Re-sign Grant and find a way to add Bruce Brown and I think the team will be young, fun, athletic, to which chemistry can be found through Dame’s leadership. Get to the playoffs healthy and with a shitload of luck ….

and we’re young and developing as well - do wish we would used the 23rd pick on the best available PF or Center, therefore I give the draft a B+

I don't know that Ayton is that guy. If he can't play for Monty on a championship-level team without issues, I mean....

I was right between an A- and B+ so I voted B. I’ve had a day to digest the fact that the Amen/Shae backcourt isn’t happening—I’m rooting for Scoot to win 6MoY. With Sharpe’s more reserved personality, I think it will mesh with Scoot’s Anthony Edwards kind of demeanor. Sharpe right now reminds me of KD, just wants to get better everyday but isn’t the type to lead a team. I do think it’s very important to have Dame for at least a short while so Scoot has someone to learn from initially.

I’m lukewarm on Kris Murray. I wasn’t a big fan of Keegan, but he did have a very good first season. I always swing for upside, so I was bummed about not drafting Miller. Is Kris good enough to play 10-20mpg off the bench on a playoff team and have similar success to Keegan? If a Kris fan wants to educate me, I’m all ears.

Love to Rupert pick. I’m surprised he slipped that low. This pick made me alittle less bummed about not drafting Miller.
