I like ya cut G.
I think Cronin will trade down in the draft to draft one of the Thompson brothers
NO JOKE I WENT TO SEE IF YOU MADE A VID ON THIS AND YOU JUST DROPPED IT, AS THIS IS ALL I BEEN THINKING ABOUT SINCE HE CAME TO OUR GYM AND I WANTED TO SEE ONE AND SEE IF OTHERS FEEL THE SAME. Thats sooo funny. crazy!
lets gooo team
Love the video Torey!
What if you kept Scoot and traded Simons and our other assets still so you can get the bigger players needed..and u get to keep prolly an AMAZING player in scoot. seems like the best scenario besides trading #3 n simons for the bigger talent now
So go from CJ to Ant to another tiny guard how many times is enough. I'm on board with drafting scoot but I think at that point you got to move on from Dame. That being said if you were going to build around Dame, Sharpe, Scoot and Grant you would definitely have to trade Ant. Every other piece on the roster would have to be borderline elite defensively.
YES, get scoot, trade simons for OG..thats literally the best thing that could ever happen in this WHOLE scenarion this off season n all. MAN thatd be sooooo amazingly sick. and ya or brown..cuuz then we get brown as we wanted AND scoot?? thatd be perfection right? its jus amazing player plus another one
Simon's and multi picks to stupid to trade for Jaylen brown shaedon Sharpe will be better than Jalen wth
So basically the problem if we have all four guards is we wouldnāt be in win now mode since we would be too dependent on young players to play big roles. And we wouldnāt be playing for the future since scoot and sharpe would be behind dame and ant in limited minutes. I would personally love to keep all four but it just doesnāt make sense.
Iād love to hear if Raptorsā fans would think itās crazy to turn down a simons for anunoby trade.
This one channel was talkn about how good itd be for blazers to get demar derozan n then ayton would be pretty good..everything they said was jus horrible ha. red head dude and a guy with a mustache who looks young
It COULD Be Done, if they believe his Talent Level is THAT High!!! ;
No1 really expected Shaedon to be AS Good As He Is, & He willl make a jump next & every year for awhile!!! ;
Jabari is going to take a leap & improve….
Watford or Noz "could" take a leap & improve…
CAM or Knox 'could' have a great summer & rly surprise people , in the RT Role!!! ;
They could use Ant,.. Nurk,… Noz,… & other picks to get the Wing / Center improvement they're needing ,.. w/out giving up the #3!!! ;
I think it depends on what other Teams offer FOR the 3rd….
If we can get Mikal… or OB,… or P. George for it, then awesome…
But if teams want TOO much or dont want to negotiate a FAIR deal for it,
Joe may have to keep it 'again' & take either Scoot or Brandon Miller!!!
and get Vet depth another way!!!
All guard line up with Sharpe at the 5.
It just sounds like a Blazer thing to do.š
i feel the biggest issue we have is we could go out and make a big splash this summer by trading ant or the number 3 pick or both but i dont think its enough to get us to where we wanna be, we need to hit multiple homeruns on multiple deals to get here and i dont think joe is good enough, even a great gm i feel would have a hard time making multiple deals we need
Man yāall are so high on sharpe!! For what ?? IDK
I'm on board for drafting Scoot, but like you said that HAS to mean that Anfernee/23/future firsts is the trade chip to improve the rest of the roster this summer. If you can snag OG for Simons + and DFS for Nassir + FRP + filler those are great ancillary moves to improve. Use the MLE on Naz Reid or Gafford
Trade down in the draft then pick up either one of two sleeper picks in Chris Livingston or Emoni Bates
Can we get a video on this ownership situation? Seems like there is a lot of meat on the bones for this. Jodi is not helping the situation.
Scoot isnāt falling to 3. Charlotte isnāt making that mistake
If scoots there the fan base will be betrayed by the front office again if they donāt draft him. He would be a better shooter than several starters on the team
People forget that it took players like Siakem,… Ingram,… Kuzma,… (Ant)
several YRS & not being all that great, to become who they are NOW… ;
so to "give up" on young, gifted players like CAM or Knox & think they're just trash, is stupid & short sighted… ;
Matisse & Cam could Def. Both Be DEPTH on this team that we NEED to go deeper into the playoffs!!!
W/ Jabari & Watford both likely to Improve over the summer, their role also could be new & improved!!!
I think '1' Mikal… or OB,.. or P. George,.. or Defensive (all around) wing
makes this team Hugely relevant & it's NOT going to take 3 or 4 big splashes,..
Just 1 or 2 and for the current guys to Really Step It Up & Be Better & more consistent!
I'd like to point out that the 76-77 Champion Blazers had 3 rookies on their team and all played important minutes. I don't believe in either or scenarios.
Free Dame, Basketball Gods will bless youā¦
What about Anfernee Simons for Keldon Johnson?
Best scenario for us keeping the 3rd. Send Ant home to Orlando for the 6th & 11th. Trade little & two 2nds to Minnesota for Kyle Anderson. Draft Ausar Thompson & Dereck Lively respectfully at 6th & 11th. Then target Bruce Brown to start at the 2($12M mid) while drafting Scoot for the bench as Dames primary backup.
We start:
Dame-Brown-Grant-Anderson-Nurk
We rotate:
Scoot-Sharpe-Ausar-Jalen Smith?($8M TE)-Santi Aldama($2.6M TE)
If the 3rd is miller then use the $8M TE on a backup PG instead of Stiks.
If the 3rd is Amen then change nothing.
I don't care. I like it. We want Scoot if he's there. Take him n will deal with whatever comes next
What about trading Ant for Keldon Johnson and Zach Collins?
I like how you was coming up with scenarios to where scoot wouldn't fit I like that. I carefully observed how you kept dame out of a possible trade scenario which is ok I love dame. But we all know that a 4 guard system wouldn't work so what's the point in keeping it right. Trading ant in your mind I see is a smoke screen to keep us fans off of you wanting dame to stay. I do as well but not at the expense of the future. Scoot is a generational talent at guard. Limited minutes behind ant š¤ššš you tripping bro. Once Chauncey See's what he can do and how he brings it ant might be out of the rotation. Unless he's the 6'th man I don't see him starting or playing more minutes if we draft scoot. Its either scoot or b miller for me. I'm ready for the future… My Cincinnati Bengals got they shit together through the draft, now our blazers can do the same trust the future man… Evolve wit the times.
Trading Simons straight up for OG isa very bad trade. Simons is better than Dame was at age 22/23. Trading Simons in general is a very bad idea! Trade Dame, there's not any single or duo of players that could come in a change this roster into a championship team besides Jokic and Giannis. That will NEVER happen so it's time to rebuild around Simons and Sharpe plus who we draft at #3
I have a really bad feeling we are going to move Simons + 23 for Derozen + our 2024 1st. I think Dame forces Cronins hand in this trade because Derozen is in Dames and Grants entourage. Lol
Scoot will take Ant's cornbread. Maybe not early season, but I expect him to be starting over Ant by the Allstar break if Portland can get him. Would be great if we could get OG or DFS for Ant.
Dame with scoot and Simmons is gonna be nasty
There is no āWin Nowā path with the opposition with years of experience together. Contention is no closer than three years away at best; so acquire talent in the draft en lieu of expensive max contract players that would deplete the salary cap for nothing in return.
There is no way to contend with small-ball; so I would propose to trade Ant and #3 to the Rockets for Sengun, JaeāSean Tatei and #4.
