[illmatic99]

Wtf that's awful. Better convert this yr man

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Wow! 2025, that is pretty bad; we really need it this year or my opinion of this trade changes completely!

You may not have to worry about the pick after Thursday.

Makes me more inclined to trade it now. How do you not negotiate more favorable protections for us?

 

[wizenheimer]

yeah...that secondary pick option makes the Pels trade a lot worse. WTF Cronin?

Better hope it conveys this season.

It’s arguable that in today’s NBA that Hart’s defense is more valuable than CJ’s offense.

Actually, Josh Hart has a better true shooting percentage than anyone who played for the trailblazers this season. .604. Identical to what Seth curry is doing in Philadelphia.
We are getting better size and defense and more efficient scoring.

Get your league pass. Games for tonight Wednesday Feb 9th. Go Spurs! Go Thunder! Go Kings! Unfortunately, doesn't look good for them. Maybe the Kings can beat the Wolves? Will they have Sabonis? We have to lose to the Lakers. Sorry.

Bad news from the Wizards. They'll be tanking now that Beal is out for the season.
The Blazers play the Wizards in Portland in March.

That's still a better team than what we'll be putting out there.

I guess it depends on how good the Bucks are in 2025. I might prefer two 2nd round picks rather than 1 LATE 1st round. Isn't it kind of crapshoot between say 25 and 60? Two guesses are better than one.

Perhaps it got changed because Nance is having knee surgery Friday

I never heard anything about the secondary option till the announcement about what it was

I am not sure on that

We're thinking about the Pelicans too. New Orleans could miss the playoffs but pass Washington in the overall standings.
The Wizards are only 2 1/2 games ahead of the Pelicans.

As long as the Pelicans miss the playoffs, I couldn't care less where they finish in regard to the Wizards.

So you couldn't care less if the Blazers get the 9th pick or the 10th pick from the Pelicans? I do. I'd rather have the 9th pick.

please god give us this lottery pick

Go Miami

 

[Mr. Robot]

so, to get this 5-14 pick, we need pelicans not to make the playoffs, is that correct

 

[andalusian]

so, to get this 5-14 pick, we need pelicans not to make the playoffs, is that correct

But also not to tank so much that they get picks 1 - 4

 

[Mr. Robot]

theyre not going to the playoffs, no chance (at least without zion)

they stand no chance against timberwoles, clippers or lakers

lakers suck, but lebron & davis would kick them out in the play-in if it comes to that point

 

[TBpup]

They need to not make the Playoffs, and then not get lucky and have the pick fall into the Top-4. Doubtful they would fall that far on their own.

top 4 picks get 4 teams with the worst record, am i correct

they cant get worse than pistons, magic, rockets & thunder

if thats correct, that pick is ours for sure

If they are in a play-in with the L*kers, the Pels will be facing some serious 8 on 5 action.

I wouldn’t say that right now, that trade could give them a huge boost, just like Nurkic gave the Blazers that boost when he came in 2017. The Lakers are a mess and have a brutal schedule, they are washed, i dont know if they catch the Clippers, hopefully not, and then there are still the Timberwolves 7 wins ahead of the Pelicans, but they are still the Timberwolves so you cant trust them

CJ already 2/6 FG and 0/2 3s in 6 minutes lol
