So in two years, the Blazers went from a mediocre-to-bad defensive squad with crazy offensive upside that caps out at the Conference Finals to… a new team that will one day develop into a mediocre-to-bad defensive squad with crazy offensive upside that caps out at the Conference Finals.
SCOOT HENDERSON .. ANFERNEE SIMONS .. SHAEDON SHARPE .. DEANDRE AYTON IS A NICE YOUNG CORE TO BUILD WITH FOR THE FUTURE .. THE PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS CAN BE NBA š CHAMPIONSHIP š CONTENDER IN 2-3 YEARS š ..
A Team with a free Deandre, Rookie Scoot, Jerami with Anfernee at the point with a potential 5th really good player (worth Jrue Holiday) sounds like playoff level basketball (To Me)
As a Rockets fan love the direction Portland is heading it took them a few years but they finally decided to trade Dame.
They got there franchise player in Scoot who going to be pretty damn good they got a high flyer in Shaedon Sharp who could be a star in the years to come and you got a nice guard in Simmons.
You pair them mainly Scoot with Ayton who can screen and score from the paint and perimeter and they gotten a lot of assets from the trade.
They arenāt going to be good but in the next three years wouldnāt be shock if they be playoff contenders and them and my rockets are going to have a lot of battles in the western conference the future is bright in Portland
I'm excited for our future. And super happy for Dame man.. I'm glad we got a great package and Dame has a legit shot at a title. Great off-season to be a Blazer.
Itās funny how you state that statistically Ayton post ups arenāt effective. Then go on to talk about how you still like it. Heāll get plenty of post upās for you to watch this year (as they win 20 games).
Portland might flip Jrue for a first and then surprise us by trading Ayton down the line after he has recovered his value. They might have a better haul resulting from this trade years from now.
Would like to see Portland trade Anfernee Simons and clear the slate for a Scoot-Shaedon backcourt. Two small guards have shown to never work. If they could flip Simons into someone like OG Anunoby that would be a great 5. Scoot-Shaedon-OG-Grant-Ayton.
maybe Iām just biased against small guard duos ala steph Poole, darius Donovan, itās just not the ideal build for modern nba basketball, so I think the blazers will eventually need to pick a guard to build around, if scoot is who they say he is it should be him really, Iād like to see them trade anfernee for a more versatile player ideally a wing, og, or maybe a guy we donāt know about yet who fits the timeline, for now they should be really fun and shouldnāt rush the process, the offense is gonna be nuts
Aytonās a smart player and for the team, you see with how he sacrificed his game in Phoenix for a few years, he should be a star, I believe by this season heāll be in those talks
Sharpe is without question going to be the blazers #1 scoring option dude
Why does it always take you so long to figure teams/players out?
You constantly make these videos predicting how teams will develop or players will develop and all they do is show how little you know about the details of teams around the league
I dont care how wrong you may have been applied by the coach, but the way Ayton conducted himself tells me, he doesnt have what it takes to be great. He's doing his job and that's it. Quite an expensive player to have a work ethic like he works at the DMV.
people get mad at Ayton for buying in in Phoenix. he did what was asked of him, but they kept not trusting him, nor giving him the opportunity he wanted as a focal point of the offense
I don't really understand how people are upset about this trade. Like, how much better could they have done? The names I've been hearing the last few months like Bench Simmons, Tyler Herro, OG Anunoby. Y'all really think those dudes are worth more than Jrue, Ayton, and some solid picks? Sit down.
Well you need to get your eyes checked because this dude is šļø he doesnāt rebound and he looks to lay the ball up around the rim, instead of dunking it! Long gone are the days of system basketball designed for BIGS* I realized the 80ās and 90ās NBA made a lot of big guys look better than they actually were, because of that system basketball at that time. Now the system has dramatically shifted to 3 point shots and pick,and pop ball! Ayton is not good at eitherā¦..heās a bust.

Ant will be the first option. He's been groomed to be the first option learning under Dame. He's HIM.
Hello
Call me crazy but I think Portland is going to be in the playoffs this year if not really close to that
So in two years, the Blazers went from a mediocre-to-bad defensive squad with crazy offensive upside that caps out at the Conference Finals to… a new team that will one day develop into a mediocre-to-bad defensive squad with crazy offensive upside that caps out at the Conference Finals.
Funky that aināt even Portlands current logo in the thumbnail š
The Portoand Trailblazers will make it to the second round of the Playoffs. Save This.
SCOOT HENDERSON .. ANFERNEE SIMONS .. SHAEDON SHARPE .. DEANDRE AYTON IS A NICE YOUNG CORE TO BUILD WITH FOR THE FUTURE .. THE PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS CAN BE NBA š CHAMPIONSHIP š CONTENDER IN 2-3 YEARS š ..
Blazers have a nice young squad, I'm curious to see where Jrue lands and what they get for him.

Deandre Ayton is a big L for Blazers

More like the failblazers

scoot solid!!!
More fun than the pacers? Idk thats a tough sell
They did what was best for the team thatās all that matters and itās not ober
Totally agree with all you said. In my eyes, the Blazers are now basically a little bit like Houston last year/couple years
Itās funny how you state that statistically Ayton post ups arenāt effective. Then go on to talk about how you still like it. Heāll get plenty of post upās for you to watch this year (as they win 20 games).
The blazers have a very good young core, they just waited a year too long to do what they did
Ayton is soft and quit on his team.

Scoot-Shaedon-OG-Grant-Ayton.
Scoot and Ayton can be fun PnR can be fun
Blazers fans better hope this FO does a better job building around Scoot and Sharpe than they did Dame.

If i was portland i wouod be pooking to trade Jrue and/or simons to free up the back court for scoot and shaedon
As a Thunder fan, this Blazers team reminds me of us 2-3 years ago. They look super gunna mf will probably be my 2nd most watched team.
Aytonās a smart player and for the team, you see with how he sacrificed his game in Phoenix for a few years, he should be a star, I believe by this season heāll be in those talks
š„
Scoot or Chet – RoTY
If I was the Blazers I would trade Jrue for Kuminga and picks
Shaedon sharpe should be the thumbnail
It'd be hilarious if Portland is calling Miami now to trade Jrue š¤£š¤£š¤£
Simons will be the 6th man
Honestly
Pg scoot
2g sharpe
Sf ??
Pf grant
C ayton
Super sixth man simons
Is a VERY VEEEERY talented group going forward
Its all about how quick these young guys can become good defenders as far as when theyl start to be competitive
Sharpe is without question going to be the blazers #1 scoring option dude

Maybe they can package Grant with Holiday and do a full reset
Ayton has the engine of an old 3-cylinder Geo Metro
As a blazers fan, Iām finally excited again
Man Imagine this lineup Scoot Jrue Tybulle Grant and Ayton nightmare defense
I don't really understand how people are upset about this trade. Like, how much better could they have done?
The names I've been hearing the last few months like Bench Simmons, Tyler Herro, OG Anunoby. Y'all really think those dudes are worth more than Jrue, Ayton, and some solid picks? Sit down.
I love the future of the Blazers post Holiday and Grant. Two well-executed trades should put them in a perfect position for 2025 and beyond.
