Blazers coach and team deserve respect.
DA would actually be a good candidate for the Pelicans and the Hawks. We're not getting picks back, but we could get expiring money and/or good players back. And I think that's worth it
If I did not know better, I might have guessed that this was a Locked on Nets segment.
I always thought dame and norm was the combo to keep. Norm reminded me of Wes.
Tankathon race heating up. Wizards doing it the best.

i am all in on the tank. I am not impressed at all with the lack of discipline the Blazers play with. They sometimes look like a Y ball team with turnovers, lazy passes, Terrible inbound plays. Those reflect the coach mostly. Not sure CB is the best coach for a young squad. I like CB just not seeing much coaching evolution, then again this team is so young. I still really enjoy watching the kids grow and I hope CB can get an assistant like Bill Musselman. CB needs help. I hope to see some trades soon. I feel ANT/Ayton/ need to go and we need to let Clingan and Scoot figure it out. Sadly I think Grant and Timelord will be what gets traded. Not sure where Ant fits in and dont see us getting much back. JG was born in Portland. I refuse to eat our young 🙂
Ant and DA for Zion. Make it happen.
incentives are so distorted nowadays in the NBA. teams trying to lose, the all-star is an insult to audiences, the trading has become a more interesting game than what actually happens on court. the NBA needs some serious reforming.
how about making the all-star mean something by having the winning conference get home court advantage in the NBA final? how about turning the CBA into a lower league, like they have in Europe, where the last team in the NBA goes down to the CBA, and the winner of the CBA moves up to the NBA? would teams still try to tank then?
The league runs through Joe Cronin. Made the trade that sparked the new CBA so small markets like Portland have a better chance. Trades with Boston to put them over the top for a championship, trades Lillard to potentially NBA Cup winner. And it all started with a little Blevins 10-day contract.

I unfortunately do not expect the Blazers to make any moves. Think Cronin is really overvaluing some of our guys. Their contracts are negatives
I always thought Norm didn’t get a fair shake from a lot of people here. He was always a really really good player and that was true in Portland too. He averaged 18ppg on nearly 40% from 3. He was asked to step outside his comfort zone as the starting 3, and despite all the hate Olshey got for constructing a roster that necessitated this, the Dame/CJ/Norm lineups were a +14 net rtg in over 500 minutes in the 2020-2021 season. 370 of those minutes were with Covington and Nurk, and that full starting lineup was a +13.4, drtg below 105, and played with legitimate pace (over 103 possessions per 48). A lot of fans had their opinions colored by the size of the starting 1-3 and were never going to believe it would work, and certain media members were inclined to downplay Norm to try to make people believe it was smart business to give him away for free and to diminish the guy who made the trade that brought him in. But I hope over time people will appreciate how good he always was, even in Portland, and especially as an upgrade over GTJ
I'm not sure Portland gets a lot of trades done. The players contracts probably outweigh their value unless the asking price makes it worth it. I think they hold onto their guys until the contracts are closer to expiring.
Neither Simons nor Grant are having their finest seasons which kind of sucks for their trade value.
you should talk on the podcast more about how duop reath is being held back by chauncey (commenting for algorithm purposes)
I would like to see us trade timelord and tisse for brook lopez. Get an expiring stretch 5 that can defend and teach clingan and give more depth for the bucks in the short term
They waited to long, waited for value to plummet on vets and for CBA to change. Thats their MO so far wait for value to decrease then wait a little linger then pull trigger.
That trade was genuinely horrible I thought Joe Cronin was special
Algorithm
Cronin first year was genuinely one of the worst gm performances I’ve ever witnessed. Add the Josh Knicks trade in there too I had no hope
