What’s Next For The Portland Trail Blazers? #Blazers #NBA

1. Joe is probably on vacation right now. I doubt he’s taking any calls.

2. Rui thybulle signing would be home run off season

3. I would be fine with trading Sharpe and say the Bucks swaps or the Bucks pick and the Orlando pick for Trey Murphy. That is if they want 2 picks. If they want 4 First rounders/Swaps…the Pels can go F*** themselves.

4. Shaedon Sharp for Trey Murphy is the dumbest trade

5. “The Grizzlies traded Aldama (knee) to the Mavericks on Wednesday in exchange for AJ Johnson, a protected 2030 Warriors first-round pick and two second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.”

   This could mean that Aldama (@18.5M) wasn’t worth adding to the Morant trade package?

   How much would thybulle be worth in a sign ‘n trade along with a guard filler?

6. Sign Rui Hachimura and Gary Trent Jr. Then trade Scoot/Jrue and a couple of protected picks for Onyeka Okongwu.

7. Relax. Stack talent and figure out fit later. Everyone was freaking out about the Spurs getting Harper with Fox/Castle? We weren’t a piece away. Can’t have it both ways where we beg for talent in a small market then get desperate to get rid of it à la trading Jermaine Oneal back in 2000 a year too early.

8. Jrue and Dame are 36. Scoot and Shaedon are 22-23. Father Time is undefeated.

9. We’re perfectly fine we are actually a big team we have a 7’ power forward (Carlson) and a 7’3 center height only matters at the basket this team can create is fast and hyper athletic and the way it works is clingan and Williams on the back end our offense upside is crazy 3 outta 5 players on the floor can give you 20 plus and our 8-9 player rotation will let dame and drew get the minutes they need to be effective in playoffs.. go blazers

10. Plan: stack talent; figure out the fit later

    Worrying about fit is how you trade Jermaine Oneal for nothing a year too early. We can’t complain about how we never get talent as a small market then rush to trade it away to “fit”.

11. Are they planning on dame being non existent? Like why have five guards?

12. Analytics but somehow we ended up with Ja 🤦‍♂️ make it make sense lol

13. Trey makes sense, but I've read that the Pels want a Desmond Bane type package for him. They aren't under the financial pressure Boston is. They haven't pissed him off to the point he's going on streams and talking crazy. They are content to sit pat. And they have zero incentive to tank considering the new lotto structure. I don't see it happening

14. You wanted me to let you know my thoughts in the comments section so HERE I AM!! I think the Blazers said they couldn't just give Tiago splitter the role of head coach because it's been 14yrs since we did a traditional head coach search. Well… fun fact its been 14yrs since we did a traditional GM search. So fire Joe Cronin and let's search traditionally.

15. *uuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!

16. i’d say it’s more 3.5 guards. Shae and Jrue are gonna get majority time at the 3

17. Im not disagreeing at all .. I totally agree with you..

    But if I had to run it with this roster right now this is what I would do

    a lineup like …
    Pg ja
    SG dame
    SF jrue
    PF deni
    C DC

    Bench/2nd team

    PG scoot
    SG sharp
    SF Toumani
    Pf Timelord
    C Carlson / yang

    Vit krejci …

    Now I know this may look crazy but i wouldn't mind seeing this lineup …. Especially if dame focuses on just shooting threes..

    Leave all the hard driving and lay up in dunking to the other players…

    Would be an interesting lineup

    But I do agree, I feel like we definitely need one more trade but who

18. Name ANY time in Cronin the Destroyer 's career he didn't have too many guards?

    To be fair. No e of these guards play 70games a year.

19. You gotta realize, Dame played 0 games last year. Ja played 20, Scoot played 30, Sharpe played 50 and Jrue played 53. We'll probably only have all 5 guards healthy for about 3 games this year, 4 guards probably 25 games. We'll probably trade Jrue and Scoot for some bum, and in December we'll have to sign a 2 way guy cause sharpe and Ja are hurt.

20. He has nothing to fix because he sees no problem.

21. I can’t really consider Sharpe a guard everytime he tries to dribble for too long it’s a turnover. I say slide him to the 3

22. It might be safe to assume, that because nobody in the world saw theJa trade happening, we might just have to trust the universe on this one. It's just more fun for you guys that get paid to speculate, and for us fans to complain, and cheer it on in one breath

23. Vit for Daron Holmes, hes good 3point shooter, long PF that doesn't play any minutes for Denver.. dont see Vit getting any minutes next season unless Ja, Scoot n Jrue all get injured

24. Jrue + shaedon + picks for Trey Murphy and sign Rui as well

25. Why are we not signing Matysse? He had a great season, except for the playoffs. He is a super defender, a wing, can shoot, and probably really cheap. All the things we need

26. Hes an idiot! Remember this the same guy who hired Billups and gave Ayton 100mil…

27. They may believe in Jayson Kent, we will see in summer league how he looks. @BlazersUprise would you do Shaedon Sharpe for Obi Toppin straight up to balance the roster?

28. Rui has no D

29. Seems like the new (lameduck) coach is being set up for failure.. Easier to move the team if they're not winning/performing well

30. Give scoot the boot

31. Problem is the Pelicans seem to want way to much for Murphy.
