May i ask where thier love for this comes from? Have they polled the audience?

I know i too cant stand the odd angles not allowing me to also see off the ball movement, etc. The only view that garners a full take on what is happening is the half court cam that shows both halves.
Im willing to bet dollars to dognuts that if they polled the viewing audience, 75%+ would say get rid of those odd angle shots, during live ball, fast breaks, etc.

Free throws? Okay.
Replays? Fantastic!!
Live action? Get that shit outa here Nd let us watch all the players so we can see the game movement develop.

People may not want to hear this, but I don’t think they care what super basketball fans like. They are trying to catch the casual viewers eyes. Basketball junkies are going to watch no matter how much they complain. We were doing crazy shit in Tokyo…what are fans going to do, NOT watch? Thats not happening anytime soon.

I watch other team broadcast regularely and I never see any other broadcast cut baseline during a fastbreak like the blazers do. Blazers do it every fucking time and you can't see shit. I don't get it
Now showing replay during live action causing you to miss a play, every team does that shit.

Not sure what to tell you sir….I watched the Pacers and the Raptors feeds last night. Saw it quite a bit, so there’s that. But you keep thinking that the PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS are the ONLY team doing it if it helps you. In fact I’ll have the Warriors director on here today for a broadcast Q&A if you want.

I wouldn't trade Ant for Derozen either, specifically for the reason you mentioned, his age.

I know he's built like fine china, but AD when healthy is unstoppable. LAL is the only team who would take on a 50m contract...just sayin. Could include a 3rd team to take on AD for picks. What the team needs most is everything.
 
This team needs a heart transplant. A few too many performances like this. I've seen Blazers teams with nowhere near this talent gut it up and play better than we've been doing lately.
 
A clue
 
take ur pick

1) Stay the course, add a few pieces here and there, hope for better next year?
2) Trade best assets--Ant and Shaedon--essentially to give Dame elite help?
3) Accept the fact that it's done. It's over Johnny. Blow it up for reals. Get picks. Young talent. Give Dame to the Lakers. Who else would want him?

Most likely the first option is what will happen. Sign some new retreads and give it a go.
 
We again, definitely need size behind Nurk along with the good small rebounders we have that will also provide paint defense.

You dont think Derozan is as good as Ant and likely a much better fit overall?

Nope! He's more of a driver then spread the court player (like Ant). If you're talking chemistry Dame needs more, not less catch and shoot players around him... plus dude is 33.4 years old. If I'm trading Ant, it's not for someone currently only arguably better who's career is about to end.

This team is in between a rock and a hard place. Dame is the face of this franchise. Unless he requests a trade he will remain here.

You don’t trade Ant/Shaedon unless you get an All-NBA player like KD, PG, etc to help Dame. Ant/Shaedon are the future. We don’t want a repeat of Jermaine O’Neal. This team isn’t even as close to winning a title as the early 2000’s team.

I really don’t know what course the team should take.

If it's a healthy all NBA SF then you definitely trade Ant and Shae for them but if Joe feels hesitant to do that, he should tell Dame and the two of them should come to the conclusion that the team needs to youth rebuild around Ant and Shae. That would mean trading Dame, JG, Hart, Justise, GP2 and Nurk for the most you can get.

I want to try and build and champion around Dame so I would guarantee Chicago the pick and trade any (Ant, Shae and any pick after 2024 included) any of our other young players to make this team a contender.

This straddling the line between competing now and securing our future thing is not really going to work. We can keep a piece or two for the future on a roster that wants to compete now but if we're serious about trying for a championship any talent we think has potential but isn't tapping into it now will be traded to teams building for the future.

What pick? None were mentioned. Trade Ant, Shae to Chicago for who? I'm confused, what great talent do the Bulls have?

Holy fucking shit! Keep the fuck up! We owe Chicago a first round pick, so I'm saying in a win now deal we would guarantee that 2023 pick we owe the Bulls to open up our first round picks in 2025, '27 and '29 to be traded for the best player(s) possible to win now. I honestly don't know why this has to be explained and can't be shorthand for people that actually follow our team.

Fair enough. Though i think Derozan’s defensive side is the fit next to Dame.
Time sure does fly though. I thought Derozan was more Grants age. My bad.

If a trade happens it will be just before deadline as that's when teams may decide to re-engineer some and offer star type players. A lot of season left.

I feel that if a player is made available that improves the team significantly, where it is needed, Joe would include any player on the team except Dame to make the deal work. If he was able to acquire a player like Pascal or KD or Brown, yes Ant and/or Shaedon would be offered.
The idea is too surround Dame with the players needed for him to contend.
 
This team needs to replace Scott Brooks with Terry Stotts...make Terry the offensive coordinator.

Isn’t DeMar DeRozan a healthy all star SF?

Speaking of Scotty Brooks have you noticed he's getting up and standing on the sideline with Chauncey, bending coaches ear. And he will stand there a while.
 
Why is it so essential to build around Dame instead of building for the future? We are not exactly seeing MVP level Dame this year. He makes plenty of bad decisions on the court. Is he a top 10 player? I really like Dame and think the world of him but at some point the team has to throw on the towel and look to have a solid young team when he retires.

I am trying to look at it from a purely basketball perspective. Not saying he is trash etc.

Certainly hasn't helped our endgame or offensive in my view....I still can't believe we burned 3 timeouts with a couple minutes left in that game and got a 5 second inbounds turnover that probably sunk the game....we went 9 minutes without a bucket with our best shooters on the floor...we should have been rested...I was really disappointed in how the coach handled the end of that game and yeah....we were shorthanded. We let Ant brick away like Russell Westbrook when we should have had Dame at the free throw line at the end of that game. Brooks isn't an offensive genius
 
Not every team can or do execute defensively like the Warriors did at the end of the game last night.
But if the Blazers run into such a team, they're in trouble.

I was hoping with a new defensive-minded (supposedly) coach the Blazers would turn the tables and become one of those teams that can derail an opponents offense at the end of a game, and also finally execute on offense to beat an overly-aggressive defense.
 
They need Simons out and Siakam in. (Yes I know Simons can't be traded for two weeks.) Needs Toronto to continue playing poorly until February so they decide to blow it up. I have said that Toronto wouldn't do this without Sharpe but let's give it a try anyway! Simons and Keon Johnson go to them plus two first round picks. Also GPII contract (as filler, I consider him now to be a negative asset) and whichever they want of Winslow or Little. to help the financials work and also so we can get somebody else back to try to fill out our roster, they give us Banton, Hernangomez or Koloko. Toronto might want to include a third team where they send Simons for draft picks,
Our starting lineup: Lillard, Hart, Grant , Siakam, Nurk. This trade would really be for next year so hopefully over the summer we could put together a decent bench. Try to find a shooter and a solid point guard..
