Norm RoCo traded

[PCmor7]

CJ next?

For John Collins or Jerami Grant

Gotta stop dreaming

We will get jack shit in return for him too

CJ for Belvin Klevins and a 2027 second round pick.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I’m not happy about this trade but you guys care too much about what other fans think lol

RoCo wasn’t getting a first, not the way he has been playing this year and looks physically.

Not getting a first for Norm hurts but I’m willing to see what happens before having a tantrum lol

I would do that, but forum rules say tantrum first and ask questions later.

 

[calvin natt]

It's the worst deal because it does nothing to help us get out of the tank we are obviously going towards.

How is it that hard to understand? This is all so simple.

- it makes the team worse
- gets them out of Norms contract
- gets them a 19 year old

listen it’s not good NOW. But I believe there’s more to it.

 

[calvin natt]

honest question. Do you think Cronin did himself any favors by not waiting until the deadline?

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he needed to get this done to do something else. No idea.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Well, you all were hoping the trade deadline would come early....

 

[AngryFan]

Blazers and Jody Allen should be investigated. This is as obvious as it gets. We just paid draft picks and Gary Trent to acquire role players to fill out the Clippers contender.

 

[craigehlo]

I can see them flipping Bledsoe & Nas for Jerami Grant in another move. Nice cash saving and potential for Pistons and Blazers would get a wing closer to Dame's timeline.

I didn’t see that in the tos!

Bill Simmons said Cronin had been shopping Powell strictly in a tax saving move. Knicks also wanted Norm but we wanted the longer term tax savings from Bledsoe.


KOC says hes confused about what we're doing.

He did mention we floated CJ for John Collins to ATL.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Embarrassing.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Clips turn around and trade Roco tomorrow for more value. Why would they want to get into the playoffs without Kawhi?

 

[tykendo]

So a lot of fans get excited about draft picks in this, One & Done , Era. Keon Johnson, can he play? He basically becomes the Blazers '21 draft choice to develop. He hasn't gotten much play, like many young draft choices. I can watch highlight videos for days. I want to know if he has serious game to develop at this level. If he does, could be a nice pickup.

RAPTOR has him graded out higher than Powell. His defensive score ranks ahead of every Blazer except Nurk (and previously Roco)

This is from a couple days ago. Still only 25.

[calvin natt]

What if Billups really thinks Keon can be a really good player but is stuck behind Paul George and Kawhi?

 

[Strenuus]

What if Billups really thinks Keon can be a really good player but is stuck behind Paul George and Kawhi?

Then we can call him Chauncey Olshey?

17% from 3 this year. 31% for his career, Aminu had over 33% for his career, and no one guarded him.

Kawhi and PG have been hurt all yr and Johnson has been getting dnp cds

 

[illmatic99]

Chauncey would know

Why?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

They are gearing up to pay Nurk and Ant....that's why this trade went down. Norm had an attractive contract to shop and CJ didn't. Roco everybody knew was gone...don't know much about the Clippers guys we got but Chauncey sure does.

I have to think that Billups had a lot of influence here, and now he better damn well make something good out of these two guys!

19 years old....

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

We did actually get a 1st. But it was last years. Lot of hops on this team when you add Keon Johnson and his 48" vertical

"This demonstrates his next level athleticism (although we must point out that his standing reach of 8-1 is quite low, which boosts his vertical number)."

 

[calvin natt]

Kawhi and PG have been hurt all yr and Johnson has been getting dnp cds

They also have Kennard, Mann and Boston, all good young players.

 

[wizenheimer]

I actually think we might simply buyout Bledsoe

he should never put on a blazer uniform. Just waive him after the deadline if no trade can be found

 

[illmatic99]

Great we got the worst one.

 

[Hoopguru]

I would think CJ & some will be dealt to shore up the 4/5

 

[Chris Craig]

They also have Kennard, Mann and Boston, all good young players.

And we couldn't have got one of them

 

[illmatic99]

It's official

 

[Chris Craig]

It's official

I wonder if fans will boo when they play

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Im not saying it will happen. But if he pulls off a cj/bledsoe/picks for simmons, i hope some of you backtrack.

Well, if that happens, we will be taking back Harris.

He's only playing 13 minutes a night. Looking per36 is pointless. They prefer, on a team not tanking, to give minutes to coffey and Boston over him.
Per36, zeller is putting up 14/13/2!
