I wonder if the Blazers would have tried to get in the discussion for Luka if they had a chance?

Like Giannis said "all the big stars should go to big markets"

 

[Hoopguru]

Portland is a junior training ground for players.

Portland is a junior training ground for players.

What promising young player did the Blazers trade away lately?

seems like they actually traded FOR a couple young promising players in Camara and Avdija.

 

[BIG Q]

Like Giannis said "all the big stars should go to big markets"

I really would not care if they put the top 10 players in the big markets, but what are they? LA x 2, NY x 2, CHI. Then what, Philly, BOS? But then you have to take the officiating away from the league and have truly independent refs that do not give the "star treatment." A travel is a travel, a foul committed at the six minute mark of the first quarter is a foul in the last 20 seconds of the game. It would interesting to see how quickly the power would shift if the game was just called evenly. But we know the league needs to control the product, and the refs are the biggest controllers.

Then why have teams in small markets?

They did, and they will both need to get paid big bucks in a couple years. If they decide this is where they want to be.

The Blazers have had a history of developing players and trading them away or letting them walk only for them to have good careers elsewhere. Can't keep players here long enough to build anything.

Seems like maybe that's changing now, but we are probably about to trade away Simons who we have developed into a good player and the revolving door will continue.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I wish there was some legit Blazer trade rumors to be excited about.

That just sets up for disappointment when it doesn't materialize.
It is better if the trade comes out of nowhere. I need to take a nap for 3 days.

Which team doesn't have a history of trading away good players?
I mean, look at Dallas. That one takes the cake.

Would anybody consider this trade if it allowed movement of one of our guards down the road.View attachment 70795

F No, I'd much rather have Jimmy.

 

[BBert]

Fodder

 

[BigGameDamian]

Like Giannis said "all the big stars should go to big markets"

Well if that’s the case then the NBA should actually consider having two leagues one for big markets and one for small markets.

 

[blazerkor]

F No, I'd much rather have Jimmy.

Seriously, I'd rather have Jimmy even if he didn't re-sign. There's have to be two FRPs coming back to us for us to give the Suns Jimmy and for us to take on Beal's contract. I would do it for two of the Suns shitty FRPs. Yeah, I'd give up Ant and Jerami and take on Beal's shitty contract but they'd have to give us two firsts that are almost guaranteed to be very late firsts.

 

[noknobs]

Lol... glad you're not the GM. Smh.

Exactly. However, I'd want 1 frp and Kalel Ware, who I think would be the perfect backup to DC.

 

[blazerfan11]

Fodder.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I would rather take a chance on trading for Brandon Ingram and hope we could get him to resign than trading for Beal or Jimmy Butler.

I don't think that would be too hard, resignation seems to be Ingram's default setting.

Thank God for Beal's no-trade clause!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Kel'el Ware is one of those players who'll be insanely overvalued by his team right up to the point at which they cut him.

[Phatguysrule]

How many picks they got on offer for a lightly used Jerami Grant?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Do the Blazers take on Kuminga and pay him?

 

[LayneStaley]

Do the Blazers take on Kuminga and pay him?

I would

 

[LayneStaley]

They are playing a 2way guy at Center. What about Ayton to GS?

 

[wizenheimer]

Fodder.

Supposed to be this. Showing the current Western Conference standings and the market ranking of the top 2 teams.
