Will the Blazers, Mediocre Man, and Bobobrewski see any action today

[Chris Craig]

What did they miss out on that transpired?

And realistically could have been done?

Got a better back up center...eject Grants contract....open spots for Sidy and Caleb.

There was a lot of movement, but maybe those things weren't realistic.

Whenever someone asks this question after like 5 rosters worth of players were moved I think it's preposterous.

We don't know what our front office could have done, we just know they did nothing besides Duop and two SRPs for Vit and that doesn't sit well with me at least.

We do have our own alps in Oregon. So it checks out.

So who is this mythical player? Just saying it doesn't make it real.

So then give examples of trades they missed out on and would be players/contracts that the other teams traded for and other teams wanted AND made sense for the team to do.

Knock yourself out. The permutations are endless and just because a player wasn't moved doesn't mean they couldn't have been.

Where did you go in Switzerland?

 

[BBert]

I stayed in Interlaken and hiked around the Jungfrau area when I was in college. The owners of the place I was staying told me where I should go and drew it out on my map. It was amazing. The gondola ride to get down was sweet. I'll never forget it or them.

That's a cop out. I'm not the one who is acting like they had offers and refused them.

What players did they miss out on? It's a simple question.

Of the players traded that are worth getting upset about, what could the Blazers have offered that matched what the teams got?

Expiring contracts, draft picks, etc?

The team had 2 ending contracts (that would be worth trading for if someone wanted out of a contract), but neither one is really young or a budding star.

The trade for Jaren Jackson Jr included Anderson (1 more year), Hendricks (team options), Niang (ending) and potentially 3 picks (with protections). What offer could Portland have done that would've been better for the Grizzlies? (Also, the 27 Lakers pick is top 5 protected and the 27 draft isn't great, the most favorable of the Cavs, Minnesota or Utah in 27 and the Suns pick in 31).

Portland clearly wasn't willing to give up their pick next year (kinda can't actually) and really shouldn't give up any of the 3 picks they own with the Bucks without being heavily protected.

Was it McCain? Not sure they need *another* PG.

Is it Kennard? Well, the guy they got yesterday is younger, and significantly cheaper, and not a FA after this year.

Maybe they could've gotten Zubac, but that's implying that the Clippers wanted two expiring contracts (Tisse and RW3) over someone like Benedict Mathurin. I'd rather try to re-sign Mathurin over RW3 and Tisse.

Are they supposed to have traded for Anthony Davis? And his HUGE contract and injury prone ass?

So you tell me, who on this list did the Blazers "miss out on" that they could've offered a *BETTER* deal than the other team did and a deal that doesn't over pay for things?

Never been...

How you make your comparison, joke or not?

I'd have loved to get Anthony Davis. He went for two horrible draft picks, there basically 2nd rounders. That's a great buy low opportunity the Wizards capitalized on for an All NBA level player.

TJD would have been a great backup center to pair with Clingan, went for 2nd round picks.

Personally I'd have acquired Kuminga, Timelord is more healthy than Porzingis.

Anthony Davis makes 54 million

Ibdont get the interest in kuminga, the only thing it shows is a lack of basketball knowledge.

Anthony Davis on the cheap would have been good in terms of adding another star. But, he has a huge contract and is injury prone.

He didn't end getting traded but Gafford would have been a great back up center. They have been high on Thybulle. Thybulle and Murray would have worked or Thybulle and Rupert and a second for Gafford. A deal probably could have been made. Its not unrealistic.

Grant and a pick or Grant, Rupert, and a pick for Kuminga and Trayce Jackson Davis would have been good.

But, it's ok. I'm not mad or upset. I was little disappointed, but it is what it is. Vit was a good pick up. I already said Cronin deserves credit for that.

We will see what the summer brings.
