Trade Grant to Portland for Mil first done deal

[Scalma]

Please enlighten us Great Swami. How many wins is Grant worth? Will this lift us to HCA? Will this carry us to the 2nd round of the Play-offs or beyond?

idk, all I know is we got better. And unlike the Roco trade, it wasn’t an overpay nor did it cost us a good young player like the Powell one.

 

[TBpup]

I wonder if there was any discussion re the large amount of cap space the Pistons will now have? Like, we will throw in an add'l 2nd round pick as long as you don't make an offer to Ant or Nurk?

 

[Strenuus]

Dame
Simons
OG
Grant
Nurk

can we make this happen (I’m not against keeping the pick but this is pretty sexi)

The more realistic option is Collins. But that is sexi, in parallel universe land lol.

Grant

I don't get the OG obsession....he's played in 43 and 48 games the last two seasons. Rather take a swing on someone with the #7 pick then hold my breath all season hoping OG doesn't get hurt again.

 

[blazerkor]

Yeah, the most genius part of this move is now we have the leverage with anyone calling about the 7th pick... and there will be a lot of calls about it. Seriously, the 7th pick already had very good trade value but that value just went up because of the Grant trade.

 

[blazerfan11]

From a value standpoint, I think it is a fine move. We get a decent starter at one of the forward spots.

I don't see this alone pushing us towards contender status. Baby steps. Let's see what Cronin does tomorrow.

Hoping for Sharpe or Murray. If we take Sharpe it still feels like we are almost running with two different timelines.

There already are two different timelines: Dame and everyone else.

 

[Natebishop3]

Ha. But like I said, you roll that dice with how Milwaukee has been playing.

Oh I agree, I'm just saying the data is incomplete.

It's a little premature for some of these boners to come in here like they just won their Magic the Gathering tournament.

 

[illmatic99]

WOW. nice.

 

[riverman]

Watch them trade 7 for Dort and 12 now.

They will go after Ayton or Bridges, not Ant. They already have their Point Guard in Cunningham

New Blazers GM Joe Cronin has overhauled the Blazers roster, and now moves toward making his first draft pick at No. 7 on Thursday night.
- Woj

Is he saying we’re keeping the pick?

 

[illmatic99]

I had a meeting for an hour and this happens. I just need to step away full time and maybe we'll make a bunch of nice moves.

It still kinda feels like they're trying to squeeze someone. Not sure who the target is though.

 

[FlashWad]

An actual decent trade from Cronin? Almost had a heart attack thinking it was our 7th pick.

 

[illmatic99]

We were all fine with moving 13 or whatever pick we got from NO for Grant. Now we sent a lesser pick back for Grant. This is a win for Cronin. Lessens the pain of NO making the playoffs in that stupid deal.

Still going huh?

First Portland native to play here since Udoka?

I like the trade a lot. Happy we didn't trade the 7th.

 

[Boise Blazer]

It feels like we are going to see who is available at 7 tomorrow and if it's isn't Sharpe or Murray we make a trade.

Someone ban @illmatic99 (temporarily). He is willing to sacrifice tuning out so the Blazers can make lots of amazing deals. #TrueBlazerFan

 

[Natebishop3]

So where did you get the Joe Cronin tattoo? Is it on your right or left buttcheek?

 

[Mediocre Man]

I don’t want to say I told you so……oh who am I kidding, yes I do. I TOLD YOU SO

 

[DDolla]

Now go get OG

 

[illmatic99]

Still going huh?

i said this is a win for Joe. Do you want me to give him a parade?

sheesh, tough crowd. i was only joking.

I'd throw Daniels in there as well.

The boners who have been incessantly bitching and whining about Cronin for the last 4 months have been more insufferable.
