This is embarassing

[Portland2014]

Shaedon Sharpe
Scoot Henderson
Donovan Clingan

those are our last 3 lottery picks, those were supposed to be our future and instead they ride the bench to give minutes to Anfernee Simons, Jerami Grant and DeAndre Ayton who aren't part of our future!?!?

Not only that hurts the growth of our prospects but it also kills our chances in what expert says it's an amazing draft

I can't think of a more embarassing strategy right now

Do you think Cronin will be more likely to see it if it has it's own thread?

Showcasing our tradables while building for another lottery pick. Win+win.

If Joe trades those three guys then I'll be OK with the amount of usage they're getting right now as long as we don't win too many because of it.

 

[Portland2014]

nothing to showcase, everybody around the league know Simons, Grant and Ayton and that's why nobody is making offers

meanwhile the players we tanked for are riding the bench without the possibility of making mistakes and improve from it

and needless to say, as limited as our veterans are, they're better players than our youngins right now so they will win more game than we should and that will hurt our draft stock

everybody who follows the NBA knows that we are acting stupid/crazy, it's unacceptable

 

[EGame]

Well we have a brain dead coach, so it isn't that crazy if you think about it

 

[Portland2014]

Well we have a brain dead coach, so it isn't that crazy if you think about it

Problem is not the coach, he's trying to win to keep his seat

Problem is the front office who should trade veterans ASAP even by dumping them if there's no offers

 

[Mediocre Man]

In fairness, Chauncey is trying to win and Scoot is rough. Clingan is one dimensional. And Sharpe is coming off an injury

ANYBODY who follows the NBA doesn’t care.

So Pop or Kerr or Spo would have this team winning?

I think there are offers out there for all three guys. I don't think one of them has negative value to every team in the league. I just sincerely believe that Joe overvalues all three and that makes me nervous about the possibility of all three being on this roster all season.

No, they'd be properly tanking. How do you think the Spurs keep getting generational bigs?

Agreed. And none of them have done anything to up their value this season.

 

[Trailblazers76]

Sharpe should be starting tomorrow. Deni needs to go to the bench or maybe Camara.

Denny wants the moderators to conserve server space, so threads will be consolidated. This one will merge into a new thread, "This is embarrassing, overrated, and happy birthday HomerLovesKoolAid."

 

[Strenuus]

Lol people don't need to care about this season. Just lose.

if he can channel all his like thoughts here instead of everywhere else, I agree

Thats not possible per the CBA

Heck... Half the Blazer fans don't really care right now.

Can I do that? If so, I have A LOT of posts to comb through

The NBA doing the lotto behind closed doors.

And that's a low estimate. For good reason.

Well now that's where you're wrong

Those are two of the players that have actually made the Blazers fun to watch. I know everyone THINKS Shaedon can't help but make this team more fun to watch because JUMPS HIGH and DUNKS PLEASINGLY, but he's never really shown he's suited to an uptempo game. He has the Dame thing of wanting to slow it down and survey his options. Consequently he makes the TEAM less fun to watch. (Also, we're not exactly going to get offense-from-defense by benching Camara or Deni for Shaedon.)

Sharpe shouldn't be bringing the ball up the court. So he shouldn't be able to slow it down.

C. Cronin will not see this regardless of how it is posted.
