Trade Deadline: Feb 9 @ 3:00 p.m ET (1 Viewer)

[Strenuus]

We love guards

I mean we need points off the bench and we could do -a lot- worse than Barton.

 

[Chris Craig]

I will say this: this summer, for the fan base, they gotta be aggressive. I'll be fine if they don't because shit happens and I'll recalibrate as things change, but for the general fanbase they better do something.

Now, a question: what kind of money will we have this summer? That's the key.

Like we are going to bring in some big name free agent.

Most of what the Blazers have will go into resigning Grant.

 

[blazedanugz]

I think they are gonna hit the buy out market. I think they are actually going to try to make a push for the playoffs so we send the pick to Chicago

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah, we totally need another guard

 

[noknobs]

hopefully we waive one of our centers in order to sign a guard.

 

[Shaboid]

Yeah, we totally need another guard

He plays some F too, doesn't he?

 

[Mediocre Man]

All of the players we acquired are expiring. Is that right? 27 million or so? Does that give us any cap flexibility this summer?

 

[THE HCP]

LOL

LOL AGAIN!!??

 

[THE HCP]

One of the most depressing deadlines ever

What could you have POSSIBLY expected, if THIS was one of the most depressing?

 

[Strenuus]

Yeah, we totally need another guard

We need points off the bench no matter what position they play lol

 

[Strenuus]

What could you have POSSIBLY expected, if THIS was one of the most depressing?

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving

For

GPII, Hart, and 5 2nd rounders.

But Joe sucks cause he couldn't do it. It's so obvious.

 

[Strenuus]

Like I've said, recalibrating expectations so I'm just wondering.

Some will go to grant. Will we have more? What's the numbers?

I don't think this trade deadline was depressing, obviously they used it to set up the best moves they can make in the off season. The one thing I would have liked to see is us acquire a big that fits better with Chauncey's system but I don't think Joe cared too much about how competitive the team we have right now is and has his eye on next season.

It would have been a more exciting team to watch if it had a better mobile big on it than the ones we have if you can call Trendon or Drew actual bigs. You definitely can't call Nurk mobile.

 

[B-Roy]

Lmfao

 

[HoopsFanAZ]

Hart. Done. Nurkic … this summer. GP to the Warriors was talked about, speculated … and fits. Good for him.
GB3 the expected waive (or filler).

This summer is HUUUUUUGE. Nurkic. Ant vs. Shaedon. Grant getting his lettuce.

 

[RR7]

All of the players we acquired are expiring. Is that right? 27 million or so? Does that give us any cap flexibility this summer?

All depends on Grant. If we waived all of the incoming guys, or rather, let them walk, with roster charges, I think we're looking at about 111 million in salary.

I can get the frustration for not at least acquiring a big. That makes sense and it didn't make much sense in all these moves to not get one (even plumlee)

LOL AGAIN!!??

crappy avatar is back! WTF dude! Talk about a purple and piss obsession.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

LOL AGAIN!!??

What does this LOL mean?
BAM!

Fans ain’t going anywhere FAMS.

 

[Strenuus]

Fans ain’t going anywhere FAMS.

Sure, but we saw what happened when the fanbase got tired of Olshey. They stopped going to games.

 

[TBpup]

Fans ain’t going anywhere FAMS.

As @Strenuus mentioned, some fans stopped going to games and they haven't returned. When is the last time other than maybe opening night, there was a legit sellout? Some nights, it seems about 2/3 to 3/4 full.

That is a FAR cry from when the Rose Garden used to be 95% full on a nightly basis.

Just saw this about one of the seconds the Blazers received.

so they didn't really send a 2nd, they just removed protection

 

[HansenYang]

Before it was a 'Fake' second round pick.
Now Portland gets the pick regardless.

Which is huge. Murray and Young don’t look like a good pairing at all but if they don’t re-sign him it is going to be disastrous for them going forward.

If we lose our 1st next year we will at least have a potentially high 2nd from both ALT and MIN/CHA.

Looks like Eric Pincus is the only one who memorizes my pearls of wisdom anymore.
