Trade Josh Hart traded to the Knicks

[Whyachi]

Playing post? This isn't JV basketball.

if Lillard wasn't playing MVP basketball, and hadn't convinced Grant to play here, this team would be very reminiscent of a JV squad. The Spurs/Rockets/etc. would have legit Wemby competition.

Are you having a hard time focusing?

Are you having a hard time focusing?

When the GM gives fans two distinct timelines:
- Win with Lillard
- Lose to improve draft picks

everything becomes blurry

 

[maxiep]

Ha! Right…. I hope no one still runs the 1-3-1 motion offense

It depends if Mo Cheeks gets another head coaching gig.

For all the people who saying that Chauncey is outcoached and a horrible coach, they must not remember Maurice Cheeks as the coach. He was such a bad coach that his defining moment as a coach is helping Natalie Gilbert sing the national anthem.

btw, want to feel old?

She's like 33 now. It was 20 years ago.

I was at the game. No way it was 20 years ago.... crap, it was.

But it's not so recalibrate and don't complain. You know what reality is.

I was there too. It was the craziest thing I have ever seen live at a blazers game.

It was the only decent thing about that game.

Dirk was more than decent if I recall the game correctly.

Knicks are 4-0 since acquiring Josh Hart

this is great for a draft pick. Lets go Knicks

I guess you are on Ignore also.

nope -- you'll notice I didn't add any cute Knicks compliments, statatoids, or brain melting Coach Thibodeau thought processes. I simply stated the Knicks have a win streak happening since the Josh Hart trade.

Win streaks. Now there's a great question. When was the last time Blazer fans were enthralled in a sustained vortecy of terrific basketball? Let's find out shall we...

The last 4 game Blazer win streak was:
- the first 4 games of the season

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah, let's not jinx the Knicks. We need the streak to continue.
Love Hart's game, but it is worth noting he is not starting for NY.

 

[Strenuus]

Good double agent, goooood.

 

[Samuel]

We need Chicago to think this pick is effectively the same as our protected pick next year.

 

[Tince]

Hart > CJ means the Blazers won the NOP trade. Is that how this works?

 

[blazerfan11]

Knicks win their 5th game in a row, trouncing the Pelicans, 128-106.

 

[BBert]

Wow. The Knicks trade Reddish then go on a win streak. Ipso facto...IDK

 

[PCmor7]

Wow. The Knicks trade Reddish then go on a win streak. Ipso facto...IDK

I think Ipso Facto was waived after the trade and has returned to the Turkish League.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. The Knicks trade Reddish then go on a win streak. Ipso facto...IDK

They went on an 8 game win streak with Reddish.

Josh Hart has acclimated well as Knicks 6th man spark plug role. A position he wasn't able to play in Portland due to lack of size and depth.

I put that on Chauncey. They could have figured it out.

 

[Blazinaway]

I am bothered that Cam is getting so many minutes (31 last night) when Nas (playing easily better than Cam) and Shaedon are getting a lot less.

Josh Hart acclimated well to the Blazers in a starting role. Josh Hart is just a good player.

 

[Pinwheel1]

As I recall he was pretty adamant at the beginning of the season that he wanted to start, but he does seem to be a prototypical 6th man with his energy.

I also want Shae to play more, but I can't deny that he's not actually doing enough on the court in the minutes he's getting to command more PT.

I'm fine with it. Shaedon is going to be here. He has a bright future in Portland.

Cam is a free agent after this season. We need to know if he's worth investing in. Both Cam and Thybulle need a good long look before this offseason.
