Oh interesting. I’m a little surprised to be honest
I’m crushed. Really liked Watford. Really promising young player
Damn
What is Joe cooking up??
Makes no sense. Some Windy “why would they do this?” vibes.
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Ok Cronin better be cooking something at this point. Why cut a cheap young player unless you have big plans in mind
i dont understand anything
What the actual fuck? One of our only bench players that was actually semi-decent. And he was on a good contract. Feels like nothing but a money saving move.
It’s starting folks….
NOOOOO
Whatttt
What in the hell
And Keon and Jabari both still have roster spots?? What the fuck???
Damn I actually like Trendon
So we basically don’t have a PF on the roster right now…
Oh shit! Something may be coming 👀
Bad move: Watford is a player who showed steady improvement on a cheap contract. Even if the Blazers didn’t plan to play him, he’s a good value as an end of bench developmental guy.
this actually sucks… he was really coming into his own
If we’re freeing up space for another guard im callin quits.. wtf man
i’m not even gonna lie, i’m kinda gutted by this. i love that guy and he was on a good contract. this sucks
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wishing him the best wherever he ends up, I love Trendon
Damn, this one actually caught me off guard. Seemed like Trendon was starting to grow into that middle playmaker role on offense and at the very least, an active and engaged defender.
Like really seemed like he was on an upward trajectory with his confidence and skill.
Im a little hurt rn
I haven’t seen the sub this torn up since we waived Wenyen Gabriel
From the outside looking in I think you guys are clearing space to make a swing. Seems like you guys probably found a FA or 2 to bring in. Doubt it’s a trade cause I’m sure someone would’ve taken him back in a trade.
We need bigs who defend and rebound. Not surprised at all by this.
Why?!! To save 1.8 million? This is insane.
Better make this up to me at 3 pm, Joe.
Minutes for Kris Murray
What the actual fuck.
This better be to bring him back on better deal.
Is he too tall or something? Why would we release a young, cheap, productive player who still has upside? I mean watford is likely never an all star or even a starter, but he’s great for depth. This fucking sucks man.
This makes no sense. His contract was extremely valuable at its price. 1.8 million is not a needle mover for some type of move. What could honestly be the reason for this? I’m baffled truly. He was really good. If he doesn’t come back I’m sure sharpe is gutted that was his boy.
Cost cutting maybe? I never want to assume we’re actually making a big impact trade.
wtf?!?!?!!?!
As I was sleeping, I was imagining him being our playmaker to help get Embiid the ball. But in all seriousness, he was a terrific playmaker that understood how to play off of high gravity guys like Dame. Just great feel on how to leverage defenses to get where he wanted to and score or pass. This SUCKS.
ugh, i hate this. big watford fan, what the hell happened
Can’t believe we let him go before Jeenathan Williams
