Free Agent Gary Payton II to the Blazers

[Scalma]

Bet Dame had a say in this. He and Payton seem tight.

 

[illmatic99]

player option?



negotiation clearly isn't cronin's strong suit.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Did Cronin learn to admire short guards from his time with Olshey?

Hilarious.

Makes me wonder if they have no faith in Keon Johnson either.

Has to be a trade.

 

[BigGameDamian]

btw he turns 30 this yr

Fits into Dames timeline.

same agency. dame really liked him during that one training camp

 

[Propagandist]

Someone help me understand.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Keon has got to be traded now him and/or Hart but for what another guard maybe 6'1 or under -- joking but kind of not

OK joking aside who could be out there that has some size the Blazers MIGHT be targeting ??

 

[B-Roy]

hoping there's a team option somewhere there for yr 3.

more to come in the form of a hart trade i'm guessing

Player option AND incentives. Seems like we were in a bidding war.

 

[MickZagger]

Their has to be a trade T. I feel like Josh Hart is GP2’s ceiling. They might have a Nurk/hart package in the works.

Exactly. We need size!

This 6’4” and under squad won’t do shit

 

[Tince]

Someone help me understand.

We're trading Hart for a forward?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

the 99 is of great significance. how dare you.

? FAMS!?!?

 

[TBpup]

Blazer shooting guards:
Simons
Hart
Payton
Sharpe
Johnson
Louzada

Something HAS to change, right?

i was begging for cronin to get some adult supervision because of his poor negotiation skills. manifesting again here.

Oh god. I hate when Dame has a say in anything to do with this roster.

Keljin Blevins wasn’t enough?

There HAS to be some size coming, or this is just Olshey little-man insanity.

better than you….. turning 99.

 

[calvin natt]

My god. We have lots of short guys but they aren’t good. They all won’t be here long. Be patient. Have to get the Keon/Brandon W/ Bledsoe/ etc out of the equation. They ain’t playing.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Where those dudes at that were beating their chests about Joe being the man after the Grant trade?

This makes no sense unless a trade happens.

It's not the price, it's what he got.

 

[FlashWad]

This makes no sense, I guess they are setting up for a trade.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

If we just give Keon away..... defending that Clippers trade has gotta stop

I thought the Grant trade was okay. Sharpe was sweet. Everything else is stressing me out.

Would appear the Blazers are down in Keon if not out.

[B-Roy]

All the names we've been linked to: Thybulle, Dort, Brown etc.

It's VERY obvious Chauncey and co were looking for a lockdown perimeter defender.

100%

 

[illmatic99]

this also probably takes us out of the thybulle running

 

[FlashWad]

I still have no faith in Joe Cronnin. This is a extremely puzzling move without further trades. hopefully my comments here age poorly.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Just prepped my AcT II popcorn, but appears I’m hours late.

Been there done that. At least these guards are dogs on the defensive end and don’t fold like lawn chairs.
