  1. I strongly believe TOR's asking price will come down on Siakam and/or OG.

    time will tell tho

  2. I don’t think any trade with the raptors is possible because they overvalue literally everyone.

  3. The Nuggets, Celtics, Bucks and Heat are in the way of “Win Now.” It’s silly to think that favorite fantasy Supermax players will make a contender with a gutted team with lost FRPs. Wendell Carter is a more realistic acquisition with high returns on investment.

  4. In exactly one month our team could be SO different..and finally ready to do it up. we did great at the start of last year..then we sucked for another year in a row..its time for somethin big and great! so stoked..hopefuly cronin doesnt kill us

  5. overall good vid… ;
    I do think Drew has been disrespected too much tho.. The dude gives High Energy, Was Rebounding & Blocking Shots, & doing a good job, inspite of the team purposely trying to tank & lose… ;
    We could use 3 or 4 guys w/ that kind of 'attitude' & effort, who are also "dependable" & not sittng out 1/4 – 1/2 the year injured all the time!!! ;

  6. Even though I’m the furthest thing from a Stotts-fan, he could be solid for Milwaukee. They ran 1 possession with Giannis as the roll man in the P&R against Miami, while we know what Stotts is P&R wise. Could be good to get some more easy buckets for Giannis.

  7. I was never the biggest fan of trading for Siakam but idk a line-up of Dame, Caruso, Grant, Siakam and Nurk looks great😅

  8. Honestly really like the deal with Houston (#4 and Jabari) even if we give #3 and #23 and Watford.
    Resign Grant and play him as SF, Jabari starting PF (he looked good defensively)
    Draft Amen
    I would trade Nas (and some 2nds if needed) for Isaiah Stewart (use him as a backup PF/C that can rebound and shoot 3, physical player that Portland desperately needs)
    Maybe trade Simons to get some quality role players and picks.

    Dame – Thybulle – Grant – Jabari – Nurk
    Amen – Sharpe – Reddish – Stewart – C/Badji

  9. The Raptors have the whole league to trade with. Masai don’t need your pick. He can trade Siakam for an established player

  10. I am sure if you ask Dame if Siakam will make the Blazers competitive HE would say yes.. Siakam gets no respect for as good as he is because you all Don't know him the way we do. Dame will be a Mvp like player if he played along side Siakam. Sharpe is Just Potential. Siakam is all NBA player for a bad Raptors team..

  11. The 3 Championship teams with only one future Hall of Fame player are: 76-77 Blazers, 1993-94 Rockets and 2003-04 Pistons. All hand defensive centers: Walton, Olajuwon and Wallace

  12. The difference between us is that I get far more enjoyment out of seeing homegrown talent prosper than I do from seeing trades for big names. I also enjoyed trading for young developmental talent a la Rasheed Wallace. The Whitsitt years made sense from that perspective. They never had top 3 lottery picks. No, I don't want Jaylen Brown at the expense of not being able to see a talent like Amen Thompson grow and develop with an eye for the future. That's what I find most enjoyable about sports. Player and team development.

  13. I am a miami heat fan and Miami wouldn't be able to go on Championship runs or ECF runs with nurk or Claxton.
    If you guys are serious about pushing for a championship you guys should go for Naiz Reid
    if you replace bam with Naz Reid Miami still goes on their Championship runs if you replace a bam with nurk or Claxton we never see a ECF its just that simple.

  14. May I ask a question you keep saying the Blazers have Jerami Grant but he turned down an extension that would have paid him $28M per ($112M over 4 years). In a market that has limited options in FA how can you be so sure he returns considering he's an unrestricted FA? Are the Blazers willing to go to $30M-$35M to keep him?

  15. What do you think about these moves?
    3rd pick + Keon orJabari for 6&11+Okeke
    Trade Simons+11 for Anunoby&Thad Young
    Little+23+filler for Gafford
    Draft one between Hendriks, Walker , Ausar , Black, Coulibaly with 6th pick
    Sign one between Lonnie Walker, Bruce Brown or Alec Burks in free agency
