Based on great players we passed on in the past in late and second round not sure their evaluation process is all that great. Dam take a swing at a position of need or to replace a traded vet.

Spurs took Nunez. I trust them. Knicks took Kolek. I trust them. We don't have a single fucking decent pass-first point guard right now. Brogdon was the only one who knew how to run the team and he's gone.

We traded 34 and 40 for future picks in the high 40's - 50's in drafts that will likely have weaker 2nd round talent (this year was exceptional).

Awful. Deflating. Pointless.

This year has exceptional 2nd round talent? How do you know the strength of the 2027 2nd round draft class already?
 
Fuck, Kings just took Shead to replace Davion Mitchell (and presumably back up Carter). Greedy bastards.

So we could have had Furphy and Bona. Or many other combinations of good players...

Well, for each of them, someone has to come off the current roster. Apparently the Blazers didn't feel those players make us any better than what we already have. I like some of those prospects, but I'm not sure they're improvements on what the Blazers already have.

If it ALSO had exceptional talent, then that would be unusual, wouldn't it, given what "exceptional" means

No they traded that pick to the Raptors earlier today.

So far, no team in the second round has used their own pick.

I hope the Blazers FO is on the phone right now hoping you are available.

Do you think that a Rasta-GM'd team would have lost a lot more games than the 110 the team has under Cronin?

Giving the benefit of the doubt to the organization at this point is really hard for me to do
 


A late first for two second round pick swaps. I've seen it all lmfao.
 
Wait, now we're bashing Banton? There comes a time when you just have to admit you're an unhappy person, and rather than tracking every Blazer move, you give a little attention to yourself. Banton, a 6'8 guard with ball handling, passing, length, and scoring ability, came in an put up impressive numbers when given the opportunity. Sure, he was a little over-aggressive, which makes sense when you're not being seen, so there is room for improvement. Good grief.

I agree that this was probably a very good year because of all the 5th year Covid guys. That's not going to happen again (well, ignoring Bird Flu...)

There's legitimately 10 solid rotation players in this year's 2nd round, counting guys in the "interesting projects" category. It's rare that happens. We need to dump Grant and Thybulle's contracts off the books and be smart about it.

Not in the Serbian league, which is what the roster would be filled with. They are probably the summer league champs in the Serbian league. The "Rasta Pink Belgrade".

That you are defending Banton is so hilarious to me. He's 24, he shoots under 41% from the field, has a career 1.77 assist:turnover ratio, and just generally isn't a good NBA player.

You don't have to be an unhappy person to admit that, but I think you need to be a homer contrarian to deny it.

So we could not have signed them as two way players? Replaced Ashton Hagans, Justin Minaya or Ibou Badji?

If you ARE a happy person then I question your Blazer fandom. Of course, I'm also a Leeds fan, so it's a double whammy

Kudos for beating a dead horse joke ten years past its relevance.
