Event With the 11th pick, Blazers have selected Cedric Coward & trading him to the Grizz

[Boomchakalaka2]

He played for Willamette?

I played for Lewis & Clark! Lol

 

[inconceivable]

For cash considerations!

say it isn't so

 

[Mediocre Man]

I like this…who are the Blazers thinking will fall to 16?

a PF/Center ? Hoping not another guard

Rasheer Fleming?

 

[MickZagger]

They extracted another 1st round pick because they believe the guy they zeroed in on will be there still 5 picks later.

Sounds like smart business.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

My money's on Newell, although I'm not that enthused.

 

[Cugel]

Not nearly as good as what ATL got from NOP: unprotected most fav of 2026 NOP or MIL. Dont know what Dumars is thinking. That could be a lotto pick

 

[BrianFromWA]

Unsure on the timing, but good on POR for extracting value. You know MEM was thinking he’d be there at 16…was this set up on the clock and who called who?

 

[inconceivable]

Nice return for moving down 5 spots.

do we have details of what's coming back to us?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

They extracted another 1st round pick because they believe the guy they zeroed in on will be there still 5 picks later.

Sounds like smart business.

Unless Coward or anyone between now and 16 turns out to be a star, in which case it's real hubris

 

[Driew]

Sounds like smart business.

Or the guy we wanted at 11 got picked.

 

[Pinwheel1]

There will be good options at 16

 

[Rastapopoulos]

13 - 14 - 15.

If we get Bryant or Jaku, I'll be happy. But that's 3 picks....

Yeah, they couldn't be counting on that - it's got to be somebody mocked lower that they think is a steal.

 

[blazerkor]

It was a great trade to pick up an unprotected FRP to trade back 5 spots.

damn that could turn out to be huge, I would rather had a shot at the Boozer kids

 

[B-Roy]

Yeah, they couldn't be counting on that - it's got to be somebody mocked lower that they think is a steal.

Or they have intel that Jaku or Bryant will be there. Schmitz is super well connected.

 

[inconceivable]

thank you. i am not unhappy

 

[wizenheimer]

Okay, riddle me this. We now have the Magic's and our own pick in 2028, along with a swap with Milwaukee. Can we swap the WORST of those picks with the Bucks pick? Or does it have to be a swap with OUR pick?

Also, if we don't have our pick in 2028, can we still use the swap with the ORL pick?

not sure....but the Bucks made the swap for the Blazer pick, so I'd assume if, for example, the Portland pick was 17 and the Orlando pick was 24, Milwaukee would demand the Blazer pick

 

[blazerkor]

Asa Newell is a PF/C who is ultra athletic and skilled.

 

[Ed O]

Not nearly as good as what ATL got from NOP: unprotected most fav of 2026 NOP or MIL. Dont know what Dumars is thinking. That could be a lotto pick

I was wondering about that, too. That's a pretty darn good gamble on a high pick between those two teams.

 

[blazerkor]

So glad Queen is off the board.

 

[B-Roy]

Is either of the srp's we just got for tonight? They have #48 & 56.

Tomorrow night. But good call. Blazers worked out a ton of 2nd round talent. Good bet that one of the seconds is at least.

 

[RR7]

great trade, IMO. a 1st round pick to move down 5 spots?

 

[Hoopguru]

They extracted another 1st round pick because they believe the guy they zeroed in on will be there still 5 picks later.

Sounds like smart business.

Fleming or MCNeely

 

[Chris Craig]

Could the Blazers/Grizzlies trade be expanded to include players?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

GOOD FUCKIN LORD! we dont need another thread when this is already being discussed in the draft thread!!!

 

[Mediocre Man]

So glad Queen is off the board.

Now we need someone to draft Richardson

 

[SlyPokerDog]

GOOD FUCKIN LORD! we dont need another thread when this is already being discussed in the draft thread!!!

This is a Blazer thread, the rest is an NBA thread.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Biggest problem with this place, so many threads on the same topic, all the time.

 

[Mediocre Man]

GOOD FUCKIN LORD! we dont need another thread when this is already being discussed in the draft thread!!!

Suck it, Trebek
