From the man who also thinks that Simons + 7 + 14 to move up to 3 would be a reasonable trade.

There’s no way Cronin’s this dumb right

I feel like O’Connor has always hated Portland so I don’t believe this.

Could be more smoke screen, could be KOC being stupid, I’ll remain he’s better than Clingan.
jettsvins
Remember fellow Blazer fans, this is smokescreen Monday. Definitely seems like a bluff if the news has been how much we love Clingan for the past few weeks. It would be pretty weird for them to just pivot their focus but you never know

The best news is we are hearing it. Once I hear nba rumors I assume they are pretty much dead. If it was real we wouldn’t hear it.

Edey at 14, yes
Edey at 7, no

Some people… We just need to ignore.

A lot of people want the high upside pick on this sub and we have one of the very few players with high upside and everyone gets upset lol.
Not saying I like this pick, but I think people are underestimating how bad this draft is.

“Puff-Puff pass, that’s some sticky icky smokescreen”- everyone who’s followed the draft in 2024
Tragic-tragedy
If this happens I’ll buy an Edey jersey
There are two possibilities
1) KOC being a moron and throwing shit out to generate engagement
2) Smokescreen szn (even though this looks like a stupid ass smokescreen)

At 14, sure. At 7? Dude is smoking something crazy. Smoke and mirrors.

Edey just does not look like someone who is going to be successful in the NBA to me. He’s a slow moving big who struggled to even keep his feet moving in the second half of the national championship game. In the NBA I think he’s closer to Hasheem Thabeet than a good center.

Count me in. Edey at 7 is ridiculous.

My 11yr old would love it.

You’re not alone, Edey will be a bust in the NBA.
CHaquesFan
Edey does not belong in the top 40
BunkHammer
Most of what comes out of KOC’s mouth is bullshit that he hopes gets aggregated like this so it keeps him relevant
ThreeDogee
Portland “extremely high” indeed
cheesecakegood
Y’all are haters and downvoted me to hell when I suggested this earlier this off-season. He’d be fine.
shelvino
This would make me cry tears of frustration lol. I know we want Clingan badly but don’t take Edey at 14 please.
LuckyStax
No thank you
grizzlysquare
Every single year these rumors are always wrong. We so rarely get the guy that we are “hyped on.”
ripcitychick
If Filipowski is there and we take Edey I’ll be pissed. I’m not that high on Filipowski, but he has good 3PT shooting potential (35% on 6 shots per game) and is a good passer.

Portland exists in the minds of most national NBA media types as nothing more than a doormat for teams with wider fanbases. They don’t want to have to give us a second thought, so they project ineptitude and mediocrity onto us- this is bias and wishful thinking creeping into supposed “analysis.” Showed up heavy during the Dame negotiations and it shows up every draft season.

If we draft seniors in the first round our FO better be damn sure Scoot and Shae are all-star caliber talents and can shoulder huge responsibilities as the youngest dudes on the team.
