Did Portland just pull off the steal of the draft with Scoot Henderson? đđȘ How do you think this move impacts the Trail Blazers' future? Let's discuss it below!
I heard there was some âcommunicationâ going on between Schmitz and ESPNâs Givony predraft. The Blazers also hired Scootâs trainer two weeks before the draft.
I am hoping Blazers do a trade for a new big and talk Jeremi into a team friendly contract. If they could somehow get Pascal and Ayton for Ant and Nurk (plus change). It would make the Blazers contenders now and in the future.
Dame, Shaedon, Pascal, Jeremi, Ayton
Scoot, Murray, Nassir, Walker, Watford coming off the bench
If you have a bunch of snipers around Scoot, it will work. You also need a gaurd next to him that can handle and create. Having the same player run offense every play will just lead to them being tired on defense. But overall with Simmons, Grant, Scoot, and Sharpe even without Dame Portland is nice, they just need another big wing.
How do you think Hendricks is effected with the trade of John Collins?
Comparing Rayan Rupert to a generational talent in Al-Farouq Aminu is outrageous. The Trail Blazers must accept that the GOAT is irreplaceable, and has moved on to new ventures.
Thanks Josh! Great stuff as always. Kihei Clarkâs name is pronounced key-hey. Key as in a key to a door and hey as in âhey you.â
Donât know how Dame would feel about this but I think a Dame for Towns swap would make a lot of sense for both teams
I guess Jdub is chopped liver now in okc. No one ever mentions him and he is a ball handler and should be an initiator on offense. All the Wallace pick did waa open up for them to make a big time trade next deadline or next summer. Contracts of Dort and Bertans plus Wallace and Dieng and picks. For a big time wing or big to play next to Chet.
Great show Josh. Keep em comin!
Was this pre John Collins trade which happened just prior to video release on YouTube
