I think Holiday would have been in one of those videos if Joe planned on having him report to camp.I believe so
I think Joe has a short timeline to flip him if he finds the right deal before he has to sign him and a lot of interest to field right about now.I think Holiday would have been in one of those videos if Joe planned on having him report to camp.
1000%I really think some people are going to be shocked how good Dame will be now that he has a good team around him.
He's not on Blazers Instagram. Camaro is.I think Holiday would have been in one of those videos if Joe planned on having him report to camp.
Maybe not October 3rd, maybe before 1st regular season Game, Maybe a bit after Nov 26 when he can be traded with another. Maybe after Dec 15 when more players become trade eligible. Maybe before Feb deadline if Joe feels his value will be higher. But my guess is before MondayI believe so
That team doesn't have a lot of guys to double off of that won't torch the opponent, so teams will have to try to cover Dame with single coverage which he lights up every time and then when they start doubling him, he'll pick them apart. The defenders he'll have around him are better than anything we've ever put around him. Dame/Giannis pick and roll is almost unguardable. It should be a lot of fun to watch that team.I really think some people are going to be shocked how good Dame will be now that he has a good team around him.
Well we don't have long to wait and find out. He'll either be traded or we'll see him on media day. I'm betting he'll be traded.Maybe not October 3rd, maybe before 1st regular season Game, Maybe a bit after Nov 26 when he can be traded with another. Maybe after Dec 15 when more players become trade eligible. Maybe before Feb deadline if Joe feels his value will be higher. But my guess is before Monday
It'd be hilarious if we ended up with Harden
Well since you’re WAAAAAAYYY out there on that limb, do you think it will rain here in PDX this winter?I think the Bucks will win it all this season
I think it'll rain all winter and black ice driving will be the new sport in Portland!Well since you’re WAAAAAAYYY out there on that limb, do you think it will rain here in PDX this winter?

That shithole Heat sub is great at posting screenshots of rumors and not citing where it came from. It’s really annoying.
Silly take. Love the noise, though. ty, Karl.George Karl has been on a string of bad takes recently. Maybe he's secretly auditioning for one of the ESPN morning shows.
this is what I’m thinking. Open for the pleasant surprise, though.No chance we are getting 3 picks and young players. I think we get a fair haul but i think expectations need to be tempered.
I like it too. But it’s just a cool visual thing, or alliterative thing like in your case. Because, try as you might, there’s no way you can make “Drew” and “Jrue” sound distinct from one another. They’re homophones.Anyways My Kids are all Js. Jared, Jonathan, Jordan ( Daughter ). I wish I would have thought of Jrue ( so cool)
Wagner and Johnson won’t be available. If we aren’t certain either PWill or Kuminga will be better than Grant, I see little reason to take them on and develop when we have plenty of young guys already. PWill might be worth getting only because he would cost less than Kuminga, but he should not be a reason to take back less picks. Murphy is the only guy worth taking less picks for, and that’s only if the Pelicans were willing to give him up in an all in move.Holiday is the player we have had that will actually bring back more than fair value. Which means he'll probably be traded sooner than later and odds are it won't be disappointing.
I'm also on the more recent forum opinion that a massive haul of frp's isn't my ideal scenario anymore. I'd rather get a guaranteed starter or two and a pick or two instead of a potential contributor and a bunch of picks. Three-fifths of the future are in place. If they only got one guy for Holiday like Kuminga, Wagner, PWill, Cam Johnson (I know this list isn't realistic, just catch my drift) I would still consider it a success. Picks are great, but without knowing where in the first round or if that pick ever contributes, I'll take the guaranteed contributor every time.
Brandon Miller is Sam Bowie according to people at Blazers Edge. "What if the Bulls traded the #3 pick Michael Jordan". I like optimism, but extreme fantasy gets a little crazy over there.it will never be over...always a next chapter
Blazers still aren't past drafting Bowie instead of MJ
Love the first one. Second one is disgusting. 2 1sts and a whole bunch of nothing.I'm still rooting for the Bulls we take a bad contract off of their hands (Ball) and a good young player that they haven't really hit the mark on (Williams) and our pick back and a future FRP with or without conditions.
The idea that the Celtics are "front runners" is a little disconcerting. They do have all of their picks besides 2028 plus they have the Warriors pick protected top 4 in this draft, so I guess a package of Brogdon, Horford and two to three FRPs is possible and maybe to the right team (Clippers) Brogdon yields even another first because he'll be healthy by their playoff run.
Ideal trade right now:

We can cut Svi and whichever Morris twin this is but Kenyon Martin Jr. and Brandon Boston Jr. are both flight risks because they are free agents after this season and don't have qualifying offers. So they are both unrestricted. We could come out of this with two fairly low FRPs and the only guys we might want to keep as rentals.
How about this version of the Boston trade. I know this feels like a lot, but I think each individual trade makes sense and is fair value for what the teams are trying to accomplish.I'm still rooting for the Bulls we take a bad contract off of their hands (Ball) and a good young player that they haven't really hit the mark on (Williams) and our pick back and a future FRP with or without conditions.
