what if Scoot turns into a poor man's Rajon Rondo?

you have to roll the dice to bake an omlette
Scoot can’t shoot at all from three. It’s extremely concerning with the modern league so slanted towards three pointers.

Yeah I don’t know, Curry taking the time to mentor him makes me think he sees something in the kid. But it’s always a gamble I guess.

I agree.

He's a much worse 3 point shooter in g-league than Westbrook and Morant were in college. Of course, it's a different distance between college and g-league...still
 
I can't wait to trade the pick for a 29-year old on an expiring contract
Nurk+ Nas + 3 gets you to Siakam.
He's 29 years old on an expiring contract. That could turn our very badly for the Blazers.
Siakam doesn't make a difference then gets a huge contract.
The 3rd pick becomes a star in his 3rd season.
 
I think Simons + 3 is too much for someone like Bridges.

But a lineup of Dame/Sharpe/Bridges/Grant/Nurk is solid.

Would need the right depth especially at center and it could win 50 games if everyone is healthy and Shaedon develops into a starter.

3/Simmons/Garbage filler for Bridges/Claxton/+ something

I don't share your opinion of Simons but I tend to agree with that take. I think draft picks (other than Wemby) are at their lowest trade value ever and the Blazers need to be real careful dealing in that market

Watch his game and not his stats. He is 19 and he has a decent stroke. Unless he has no work ethic he will improve his 3 point shooting....which is why he is a great trade asset.
 
I might trade the pick for Siakam providing there were not other draft assets going out. Fuck KAT
Problem is what is the result of acquiring Siakam in that scenario? Him and Grant is a slow footed defensive forward duo paired with a backcourt of Dame and Ant. That ain't contending for shit. I like Siakam as a #2 option on a contender but the rest of the pieces the Blazers would have don't make sense.
 
Look, I'm fucking stupid. Would Nurk, 3, and filler be enough for Bridges. If not, can we happily trade Ant too?
Nets declined 4 firsts for Bridges and now he is worth more. So no, none of what you list is enough.

I'd love to add Bridges, but hes as untouchable as any player in this league. Nets don't have their own picks either, so they not going to do a trade to rebuild unless you get the Rockets in there somehow to send some picks back.
 
I guess I just don’t see who we trade the number 3 overall pick(Miller/Scoot) and their rookie deal for? I’m not giving that up for KAT or Siakam. Who do people want for that pick that is realistic? I think we have to keep it.

Siakam is one of the few guys I would trade pick for.
 
Nurk+ Nas + 3 gets you to Siakam.
Well then pull the trigger. Yeah I'd imagine they want Ant or more picks which should be a no.

If it's feasible then yes do this trade and then a nother such as trade picks for Claxton.

That roster while keeping Dame Grant Ant Sharpe adding Siakam Claxton could legit win.
 
Difference makers who have issues which make them potential targets

1. George
2. Kawhi
3. Zion (I think they’ll move him in right deal)

Really long shots
1. J Brown
2. Embid
3. J Butler

Any of these guys are healthy it would make us WCF contenders. These are really only guys I see that could be traded that would instantly make us good enough to compete in West.

Siakam is borderline only because he’s so good on both ends of the court. Any other other trade will make us marginally better unless Sharpe explodes
 
Siakam is one of the few guys I would trade pick for.
3rd pick (plus whatever we have to add to match the salary and maybe add another 1st round pick) for siakam & og anunoby, seems tempting, but 3rd pick (+ simons) for siakam is simply a move only an idiot would make

I’m not sure if we didn’t have Sharpe behind Simons I might agree but if it cost you 3rd pick and only Simons I would seriously have to think about (not quite an idiot but probably stupid range)
 
Damn I hate missing out on first pick but that’s worn off since really didn’t think we’d get it. Stoked we got 3rd pick!
