No. Weaver isn't going to get played like Cronin did.

YeS, wHaT a DiSaStEr We MoVeD dOwN oNe WhOlE pIcK oH nO! This is soooo much worse than losing in the play-in perhaps with career-ending injuries to the guys who would have played for all we know. Frankly, my scenario of an injury that lingers into next season or beyond, is wayyyy more likely than us making it past the first round. Mein Got!

A few? Think again. I can see you sit at home and watch on illegal free streams.
Lets hope for the best. It's all we can do now. Hopefully the Blazers stay injury free next year and they put together a good team that competes and gives Chauncey a good run. This summer ain't over yet.

Soooo are you a Season ticket holder or just someone who doesn't understand the NBA lottery? Seems like the latter eh? IDGAF about the exact price of upper deck season tickets which is irrelevant anyways cause your point is dead wrong and you're damn right I stay home and watch it for free. I love going to live games in seasons that matter we haven't had one in a while. I watched WCF against Magic and the Lakers in 1991, I watched WCF vs Kobe and Shaq in 2000. Only WCF appearance I've missed since I've been alive was against GSW for the beat down (what's the point of that?) and then the 1990 WCF because I was like 12 and my dad wouldn't throw down the cash that year. I saw Roy's hand switch against Bosh from 7 rows back and have seen innumerable games, but again unless you are a season ticket holder you have zero reason/right to complain so yeah.
 
Especially since they need Grant off their books, and he's not in their plans going forward. There's a price for cap relief.

The Chicago/Cleveland trade that got us Nance Jr for a couple months.

Do they get the pick next year if we're not in the lottery or does it convey to a second round pick after this year?

They get it I believe until it conveys

I think they're looking for players in the same age range as 90% of their team and he isn't. I don't think they want him to walk for nothing at the end of next season. They're not going to give him the extension that he wants or even anything close to it. So they're going to move him.

The real question is how little will they take for him and how much more than that can they get out of Cronin?

Ok. But they don't need to move him. They are playing from a position of strength more than we are.

They are going young and are about to draft another first round pick. They would be happy to move him and get two first rnd picks this year to add to their young roster.

That said, what's to stop them from being greedy and saying they want the 7th or if we trade it for the 9th and #25 or #13 and #15, from saying they want the better of the two picks. If the Blazers really want Grant, they can dictate the price.

Because they're not going to pay him 20 mil. + when he doesn't fit their youth movement.

For one more year? They don't have to move him. He is not some albatross contract with multiple years holding them down.

Exactly. They are in the drivers seat, not us.

Like I said how little would they take for him and how much more than that is Cronin going to give them? That's the only question that matters right now... until we see a tweet from Shams or Woj that Cronin has moved on from Grant.

I disagree. They have young players (Stewart , Bey) who need more minutes. Grant doesn't fit anymore.

Grant is a UFA after next season. He can tell any team trying to make a deal for him he's not planning on resigning. He's got a lot of leverage from a player perspective. Pistons aren't in the biggest position of strength if he wants out and has PDX as a preferred destination.

I mean, I don't think we would be the only team.in the league trying to convince themselves Grant is our missing piece (which is hilarious). There would be a bidding war, not a ok Portland, we will let you move down and we will gladly take the worse of the picks you have just because.
