What Blazer(s) are going to get traded by the deadline?

I went with nobody. Winning 9 of 10 leading into the trade deadline was the worst gift to hand to Cronin, Jody and Vulcan. They beat up on bad and massively flawed teams.
 
I think Cronin's asking prices may be too high, and no trades will happen.
 
I went with nobody. Am prepared to be disappointed again at the deadline.
 
who didn't play in last night's game?

a player who was involved in a pending trade, or even a maybe trade, 36 hours before the trade deadline would have sat. Looks like Clingan and Thybulle were the only guys who sat and Thybulle is pretty irrelevant.

this deceptive winning streak could very well end up being the worst thing that could have happened this year. It's killed Portland's odds at a high draft pick and given Cronin cover to sit on his hands and do nothing at the deadline
 
I’m so confused why we would keep Thybulle at this point (I’d just take the second/s) but perhaps they’re actually making a playoff run

You're assuming anyone's offering something for him.

I mean, given how many minutes we're giving to vets at the expense of young players, I can't believe that Matisse has been healthy all this time and they're just holding HIM (of all the players) out. And if he really hasn't been healthy this whole time, then what the hell is wrong with him?
 
I think Rob is most likely to be traded. I'm ready for Joe not to do anything even though as the coaches and players on the roster strive to be better, I wish Joe was striving to make the roster even better. I don't think it's at all out of the realm of possibilities that Rob, Jerami and Ant all go... it's just not likely.

Also why would you put "Blazer(s)" in the poll question and not allow for us to pick more than one Blazers player???

Some of me thinks that Joe is doing a lot of posturing and he may have already been offered enough to move every vet on the team (Deandre, Jerami, Ant, Rob and Tisse) and Joe is saying no to those offers hoping for better but will circle back late tonight/early tomorrow and take the best offers he's heard. Or Joe thinks his shit doesn't stink, he's drinking the Kool Aid he mad and feels this roster can't get better but fuck, if that's his assessment we're in a lot of trouble until this guy is no longer our GM.

I still don't think this team wins a 7 game series against any playoff team. I know the young guys could get a lot better but they'd have to in order for us ever to be competitive in the playoffs. No moves would make me pretty weary of what the next few seasons might look like.

I have decided just to enjoy the wins for now. I'll be disappointed if no moves are made but prepared for it. That will leave me elated if any solid moves happen over the next 25 hours and 28 minutes.

The thing about waiting in hopes a better offer crops tomorrow is those trans may just go elsewhere, leaving us without possible destinations for guys like Grant.

Oh, Joe could be fucking this shit up a thousand different ways. I guess my post was just saying there's also a chance and I don't really see it, that Joe has this train on the right tracks.

maybe the Blazers know he's going to opt-out of the final year of his contract and leave this summer. And maybe teams aren't even offering a 2nd for him and the Blazers would have to add one to dump him
 
How many draft picks do we have over the next few years?

Matisse

Maybe because it would only take a 2nd round pick to get it done. But we would need to find a team that has their full mid-level to absorb his contract. Otherwise, it has to be an ending contract. The fact he has yet to play this year makes it even harder.

I think the fact he's made All NBA defensive team twice, he's got value.

never say never, but I doubt any team would send a 2nd for him at this point. Blazers would probably have to be the ones sending a 2nd

I guess you could wonder about Dallas since they were the ones that gave him that loopy offer sheet. But they are only 170K below the 1st apron and just added the cheaper Caleb Martin

also...I'm still half-convinced there's a decent chance that Thybulle opts-out this summer and goes to another team

Assuming the Bulls get one and assuming you're saying the next three years: we have our two FRPs after the Bulls take the third one, we have a 2025 second round pick from Atlanta that only conveys if it's the 11th pick in the second round or better, we have a 2026 second round pick from Memphis that only conveys if it's 12th or worse, we have our 2027 second round pick that Charlotte has the right to swap with and we have Minnesota's 2027 second round pick without any protections. So likely two FRPs or maybe even three FRPs and at least one SRP with two other SRPs being possible.

In 2028 assuming the obligation to the Bulls has been met or that we've missed the playoffs every season between now and then, we will have our FRP that we can swap with Milwaukee and our second round pick. In 2029 we have the best first round pick out of ours, the Bucks and the Pistons and we have the worst first round pick out of ours, the Bucks and the Pistons... we also have the worse of the second round picks between the Pacers and Wizards. In 2030 we have our first round pick with the rights to swap it with Milwaukee and we have the Knicks second round pick. In 2031 we have our first round pick and our second round pick.

We have none of our picks right now to trade because we still owe Chicago a pick. We can't unlock any other picks until that has been fulfilled.

We have two Milwaukee swaps and we have the Boston and Milwaukee picks in 2029. We owe the second worst of the three picks to Washington.

You know who beats bad teams? Good teams. But our last 5 wins were all against playoff teams featuring multiple All Star players desperate for wins. Some All NBA players. Or is a streak not meaningful unless you only play OKC, Boston, and Cleveland? And after all, before this streak weren’t WE “bad and massively flawed”?

Nothing deceptive about the streak. The young players made leaps. Defense improved. And it’s not like we just got lucky. Most of the wins were blowouts.

We can trade one of those 2029 picks along with a 2030 or 2031 pick.

If were going to be at the end of the lottery I'm fine with just making the playoffs and finally being done with this pick owed going over to Chicago. Then it also guarantees the 2028 swap with Milwaukee.

2030 and 2031 are tradeable but not both of them because of Stepien but yeah we don't have any FRPs that are tradeable until those two picks we still have the rights to in 2029.
