PLEASE!!!!!

Move Nurkic now. Remove ALL temptation to re-sign him. Might as well get a 3rd round pick for him!

:banghead2:
 
not even close.

i've watched a game with Charles Smith playing and Ha/Khryapa/Monia getting minutes.
 
The 05-06 team probably is the worst I can remember because I don't go back to the very, very start, but this team looks to be every bit as bad as that team.

My first year having season tickets!

Can confirm this team looks equally as bad.
 
By the end of the season they'll be able to fill an entire Ridiculousness marathon on MTV with Blazers' "highlights."
 
#1 pick here we come
 
If Blazers aiming lottery, this is very well constructed team. It could be best team in years, so far from worst.

This team is just getting started.

I love that we have hope and at least it's interesting again. We took risks.

I got tired of seeing the same movie over and over.

Come back and talk to us in a month. Then lets see what you think about December.

There is absolutely no doubt it’s close.

There is absolutely no doubt that you are right.
To lose to the worst team in the NBA on our home court by an 18 point margin. Well, there's just no excuse. Which means Orlando is no longer the worst team in the NBA nor is Detroit. Guess who now holds that honor? I say it all started with firing our coach, Stotts who was holding us together with bailing wire and duct tape.

I believe in karma and I believe in pulling this shit is essentially the same as shooting yourself in the *ick.

Are you afraid to say prick?
 
How did all of you like listening ALL SUMMER to Lillard trade scenarios? Hanging on every word the man said and hoping at all costs that the rumors were not true. Story after story came out that he was disgruntled and was considering leaving the Blazers for greener pastures?

Again i'll ask how long do you all think it's going to take for Nurk to start sulking his way through games (obviously last night). What do you really think he will draw on the market? This has to happen today right?

Right now the Blazers sit in the 8th spot in the draft. In 1994 the Kings drafted Brian Grant in the 8th spot. Jack Sikma in 1977. Tom Chambers in 1981. Andre Miller in 1999. Jamal Crawford in 2000. Rudy Gay in 2006.
Here's one that might rock ya. Jeff Petrie in 1970. Over the years there have been some good players. Like 5 in the last 60 years.
Last year is was Franz Wagner. He's actually not bad.
Who they going to get? Ty Ty Washington? Ben Mathurin? Patric Baldwin jr.? Maybe they can get another guard in Johnny Davis?
Be sure it's not going to be a game changer.

Oh boy! Now you just ripped the scab off the wound!
 
Never thought I'd see a Smith/Blevins/Elleby/Brown/Watford lineup outside of garbage time, but last night...

Eh, let's face it--last nights entire game was garbage time.
 
@Natebishop3 trying to pull up his “Wrong” thread from last year.
Don’t be confused. This is the worst team he has seen in his lifetime.

sorry but you're exercising fallacy by just locking onto the 8th pick

Dame was drafted 6th in 2012. In that draft & later drafts, these players were taken at 8 or later:

Draymond Green
Khris Middleton
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Rudy Gobert
Zach LaVine
Jusuf Nurkić
Jerami Grant
Nikola Jokić
Myles Turner
Devin Booker
Kelly Oubre Jr.
Bobby Portis
Norman Powell
Domantas Sabonis
Caris LeVert
Pascal Siakam
Dejounte Murray
Malcolm Brogdon
Donovan Mitchell
Bam Adebayo
John Collins
Jarrett Allen
OG Anunoby
Dillon Brooks
Collin Sexton
Mikal Bridges
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Miles Bridges
Michael Porter Jr.
Jalen Brunson
Devonte' Graham
Gary Trent Jr.
Jaxson Hayes
Cameron Johnson
Tyler Herro
Jordan Poole
Keldon Johnson
Kevin Porter Jr.

sure, the odds are against you, but there's still a chance of landing an elite player, and if not of a higher level starter. Can't just gauge by the 8th pick; need to gauge by who was available at the 8th pick
 
Talent assessment of drafts picks now days with players coming so young and undeveloped (Simons) is a crap shoot except for maybe the first 5-8 and even at that no guarantees. Thats cool, just the way it is today.
I think GM's spend a good amount of time assessing those picks taken that didnt pop right away after a year or two, panning for an older more mature, and developed player that can be acquired via trade or FA's.
Chauncey seems to think that Winslow could be one of these dudes. And teams probably look at guys like Naz & Simons same way. Older and more developed/productive.
The down side is a franchise can become a junior training ground for players and lose them after investing a lot of time. It something all teams deal with though.

But you just made the odds even worse by saying 8 or later. The numbers become astronomically bad when you add all the players that didn’t pan out.
But sure. Do your nerd thing.
