Kings have said that Keegan is not on the trade block.
Walker shot a career high from 3 last year - at 29%. With Deni/Clingan we don't need Walker rebounding much. Camara defense is much better. I'd be surprised if Walker beat him out, but ideally both of these guys are 3rd string.
Yeah I don't trust the guy who signed GP2.0 and hardcapped the Blazers, as well as was here giving input for the 2016 free agency debacle.
His relation or rather him being a huge part of the Olshey years is a really hard thing to get over. The way he kept telling us he was going to "push all of our chips in" to build a contender around Dame yet there was never a whisper of a rumor about us guaranteeing the Bulls our pick and using multiple FRPs to make that happen. The Jerami signing and then keeping him and Malcolm all last season. What you said about GP2. Just the fact that there didn't seem to be any actual normal interview and hiring process when he was promoted. It is very hard to have a lot of confidence in Cronin to do things the right way.
This is fair. But hopefully he knows the rebuild has already started. It doesn't start when he actually trades them. IF it takes until February to clear the decks, the players that are on the trade block should be taking a back seat to the players that are the future. And to the first person that says they have to play and perform well to keep interest up, BS. The league knows what Ant, Grant, Thybulle and Williams do and are capable of. It doesn't appear there is a bidding war for any of them now, doubt there will be in February as well. Grant will still have 3+ years on his deal while the other three will be close to becoming expirings. Trading expirings not actually a good idea for Portland as they should be coveting them. Portland will probably be holding on to them too long and getting nothing in return.
Looks like a core that maybe could win a first round series then get smoked by OKC, Wolves and Spurs for all of the next decade.
Could technically be true but a bunch of mediocre FRP with lots of protections that are probably only worth 2 good ones.
Yeah, I might take a look in a bit and see, once my kiddo goes to sleep, but don't think there's too many "surprise teams" that could offer 3 picks.
OKC?
Knicks are tapped out from the Bridges trade, aren’t they?
Knicks have two FRP that are heavily protected and likely becoming second rounders, so they could trade those. So that's where it depends what exactly the quality of the rumored three FRP offered is.
