Non-All-Star player you covet for the Blazers

[Rastapopoulos]

Here's one for me: Mikal Bridges. Also O.G. Anunoby, of course. Wouldn't say no to Alex Caruso, now that the taint of Purple and Yellow has faded.

 

[Cugel]

Caruso would be good and do-able.

Laurie Markkanen would check a box or two as would OG. I liked the Aussie Josh Giddey who at 6'8 would fit right in on this roster. We could use a lot of serviceable backup bigs as well like Whiteside or Kanter

Love Giddey's passing, but can he shoot? He also can't defend. And I've got to say his constant fussing with his hair annoys me. Just get a fucking headband. Or a haircut, HIPPIE.

Oh but you loved young Rubio who was a douche with his hair too

1. He played defense.
2. He smiled. Giddey looks entirely too cool for school.

Flashback to 14-year-old Rubio:

Jarred Vanderbilt

Yeah, he's a great young player on a sweet contract - exactly the kind of player a team like the Jazz wouldn't dream of trading. I covet him too.

Mitchell Robinson
Marcus Smart
Jonathan Issac once he’s healthy

Have we ever agreed on anything?

I hope not!

Jonathan Issac once he’s healthy

Are you aware of Isaac's views? But it doesn't matter, because the chances of him ever being healthy are pretty slim.

SGA

That's cheating - he hasn't been an All-Star but he absolutely is one now. I'd put him ahead of Dame, CJ and Fox in the West, easy.

Basketball wise, Isaac has 2 way All Star potential. Like better than Kawhi if he gets healthy. And please, SGA isn’t better than Dame. He’s having a nice season though.

What has he ever done to prove that in the NBA? And has he played once in the past two years?

"Nice" indeed. He's better than Dame at defense. And head-to-head, apparently.

I agree that Laurie Markkanen would be an ideal player for the Blazers to strengthen the front court and swish3 scoring He showed us on the Blazer court Nov 19 how much offense and defense he can bring, and he plays with Chauncey brand of energy. Let's watch for a chance to trade for him!
