Watford is BETTER than Grant wow, Grant can't even get more rebounds than Dame, disgraceful franchise. Scoot and Shaedon should be so angry.
This is sad scoot better do amazing for me to be happy with Portland
Ant + Little + Nurkic for Paul George + Zubac.
What do you think of that as a basic framework for a trade?
What big move is trading Ant going to get you?
It’s over, get out of there dame
So sad they backed themselves in this corner
1. Likely that Dame requests a trade without us re-signing. Dame's exit interview made it clear that the expectation for the FO was to retain Jeremi and improve the roster.
2. Everyone is missing the point, he walks, we weren't replacing him with a better player. Kuzma got paid 25, and cam Johnson did as well. I'd rather have Jeremi than either.
3. Losing Trendon sucks. Definitely a fan favorite, and I don't know why we don't take a flyer on him, especially if they knew eubanks was out.
4. Y'all take a breathe. Jeremi is a good player. High efficiency shooter, good offball defender. We're asking too much of him to switch on guards, that's not his game.
I am so over this team. I cannot take this anymore. Just done. Seriously over it, please Jody just sell!
year 3 4 5 cap space should go up no?
genuinely the worst thing they could’ve done
The waived Trendon? Wat the Ford?!?
As long as Jody/Vulcan are the owners just know we aren’t trying to win since they don’t wanna go into the tax even by a dollar so just get used to middling hell for the next decade at least cause Jody ain’t giving up her huge paycheck every year being the “caretaker” of the Blazers…Paul screwed up giving her a reason to cash in while having zero desire or incentive to go big to win it all.
Dame we love you hear in PDX but you deserve better
The pro resign Grant mantra was “as the cap increases, his contract will gain value,” and there was no question about signing him, because we’d lose him for nothing; except, that capped the team out while costing 32M per year for five years, for a non-rebounder non-rim protector whose slot loss would’ve been @21M for letting him walk. I don’t see how that made a bit of sense.
Ben Simmons is becoming more tradable by the day
If they have to trade Dame to say Miami, trade Grant with him. Take on some expiring contracts and give up the first round picks to dump money. So if it doesn’t work out and we suck, That’s how you do this.
