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

[Fez Hammersticks]

Lame.

Literally exactly what I didn’t want to happen.

they trade down.

 

[Irish Trader]

Fuck we picked the guy I wanted and traded him

My choice as well

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Shit, I wish we were keeping him.

 

[illmatic99]

It is unprotected.

Then this is a fantastic move.

 

[Chris Craig]

There's no way KJ falls to 16 though right? I like Bryant as well, but no way both are there?

Probably neither

 

[B-Roy]

Well it is unprotected from the MAGIC, but I guess the Grizz could put protections on it. If they do, I'd be pretty pissed though.

 

[illmatic99]

This tells me they want Fleming

I can dig it

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Interesting getting another 1st might be valuable if Memphis blows it up

 

[MickZagger]

WTF

We could have had Bryant or Essengue

Now who do we take with #16

Bryant or Essengue?

 

[B-Roy]

Then this is a fantastic move.

It's unprotected from the MAGIC, but I suppose the GRIZZ could add protections on it after.

[Freshtown]

One of queen, Kasparas, essengue, Bryant, Fleming, asa?

 

[Boomchakalaka2]

Let it be! Grant, Scoot and #11 for Ja!

 

[Chris Craig]

Bryant, Essengue and Jakucionis are still on the board.

And will likely be gone before #16

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Decent haul if we get who we want at 16. Too bad we’re not keeping Coward

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I wonder if we wanted CMB at 11

 

[wizenheimer]

It is unprotected.

not necessarily....Memphis could have added protections

 

[blazerkor]

It's Orlando's 2028 FRP.

 

[Graduate32]

Is that 28 pick still allow us to swap with the Bucks? Can this be a way we ignore the bulls obligation that swap year?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Fleming is an extremely underwhelming prospect.

Fuck

 

[Hoopguru]

Morant

 

[Boomchakalaka2]

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

a PF/Center ? Hoping not another guard

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I think we gotta take the guy with the most long term potential. We might be good enough now to compete for playoffs but I am hoping for more.

Their choice not to take Essengue along with acquisition of Holiday seems to show they are thinking short term. I think that is a mistake.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Well it is unprotected from the MAGIC, but I guess the Grizz could put protections on it. If they do, I'd be pretty pissed though.

They could be trading it, so it might not matter.

 

[Irish Trader]

I wonder if they are making decisions based on possible new owners wants.

[maxiep]

Nice return for moving down 5 spots.

 

[PDXFonz]

Bryant or Essengue?

 

[B-Roy]

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?

 

[RonBrewer]

Honestly, feels like we aren't done trading yet.
