When did we ever get the free agents that we wanted and needed?

I get it, but when was the last time we had a coach that is well respected by players around the league and a new GM? Why do you want to pull the trigger now on Dame without at least seeing what happens in off season?
So that s cool you want to move Dame, I want to wait and see.

This NBA Today show sucks. It's just been a Harden/Simmons show. And less not forgot, Malika " Laker Fan Girl" Andrews interruption to try to get a "Can't do shit" Laker , hopeful deal, segment in there.

she went to University of Portland and got her start in PDX.
 
I think the Sixers-Nets deal has a pretty high probability of blowing up in both teams' faces.

Sixers gave up a lot, and I'm trying to recall the last time Harden made good players around him better. They still have some useful pieces and on a given night they might look tremendous, but I think there's a big deficiency in leadership on that team.

The Nets probably have the best lineup to compete with the Bucks, but you're adding Simmons to an already dysfunctional group of stars.

I don't think either of these teams is better than the Bucks team that I saw on this West Coast swing the last week. That's a strong team mentally with the best player in the NBA right now. Their second and third stars aren't great, but they are solid and they're winners. The rest of the team was beautifully constructed around them, and Portis looks like he's found a gear no one realized he had before.

And if the Sixers and Nets don't at least get to the finals, those fanbases are going to explode.

because “cap space” is a plan built on wishful thinking.

That's what draft picks are too. Especially in the era of " One & Done". But the Blazers went from hamstrung to a lot of flexibility. At least we can now be wishful.

Cronin made it very clear in his statement last week what his plan was and it appears he's working his plan. Clear cap to bring in complimentary pieces for Dame.
Doesnt have to happen now but it will offseason for sure.

What players are going to sign here that are better than what we had. Portland is a market where you need to acquire talent via trades.

KP + scraps for Dinwiddie/Harrell/Holiday, essentially.

Wizards doing things.

Not sure why they just wouldn't tank with Beal out though.

I hope you're right on your first point but on the second point... no I don't want to trade Dame now... I want to see what happens and then trade Dame if we aren't going to compete for a while.

Indications are, Sharpe will stay in school 1 more year.

File this one under "I'll believe it when I see it." If he comes out, he's going 4-8. Pray he comes out and that the Blazers picks put them into a position to get those two players, regardless of what you think Sharpe might do. Those two players have the best chance to make the Blazers interesting and good next year and very strong contenders for years to come.

Looks like Nurk and Ant will get big paydays and the team will ~basically be the same as this season!! Sub out CJ for Ant and it's the same goddamn team.

you dont understand, dame lillard, simons, little & nurk are good fit together and if we can nab adequate power forward, were gonna have well balanced team

i cannot emphasize enough how much balance/fit matter, we didnt have that so far, simons is better fit than cj mccollum and little is better fit than powell, we all know dame & nurk have great chemistry and we saw that simons & nurk are developing great chemistry and little worked with them well too... i really dont understand the pesimism
 
For those who didn't know, Bertans is still owed about 3 yrs, 50 mil on his deal while producing 5 pts and 2 rebs per game.

WTF is Dallas doing?

Unless they have another deal lined up for Brunson, this is really stupid team-building around Luka. I approve.
 
Yeah, I dunno why Dallas would want that. Luka wanted KP gone?
