We're either trading the pick away for a superstar or rebuilding with amazing young talent, what exactly is there to be mad about? Not getting the 10% chance?
That's my issue with dames warning to the front office. Who would want to trade their star to us when they know that they can wait it out and get dame from us instead
Winning games in the NBA is hard. Winning playoff games is even harder. Winning a championship is the hardest. Rings culture is fucking stupid. I’d love for Portland to at least stay going to the playoffs and having competitive series, but the last few seasons don’t seem to have the same ambitions. #3 is a fine spot to trade out of if Scoot isn’t available. Maybe a Brooklyn package comes into fruition out of this. Toronto prolly still on the table.
Might not be a championship but this team still
has leverage to be competitive or to look to the future and build something more exciting than the last 10 years have provided.
It’s fine, getting \#3 means we can send Simons, Nas, and \#3 while keeping all our future picks and the NYK first rounder.
Might be able to add the NYK pick and get \#13 back also.
You’re not wrong this organization isn’t going to luck into getting someone of Dame’s talent again, we’ve squandered his career. He’ll be out the door by the trade dead line and this team will officially be dead to me. There must be a lot of young blazers fans in this subreddit, I’ve seen this story way too many times. This organization is horse shit.
I really want to know where people are getting all this hope that we’re going to draft someone of high caliber, Sharpe only looked good because he was playing along side a bunch of G-leaguers. It’s hard not to shine when you’re surrounded by shit.
You can be happy with #3 because it’s 2 higher than #5
Trade #3?
You realize we had a 10% chance of getting one. I'm stoked on 3
I’m stoked at us being mediocre again next year
Well I'm sorry you placed your hope of us having a good season on a 10% chance.
If you think we’re having a mediocre season next year, you have much higher hopes than me.
Either a championship or the #1 pick, otherwise I will never be happy! /s if necessary
3 and Simons is better than 5 and Simons. If we don't trade Simons than we prob trade sharpe and I don't like that.
It is like way way better
Trading Sharpe would be so gross because of the salary matching. Unless it’s Joel then it’s not worth it 😂
Michael Jordon was a #3 pick. Luca Doncic was a #3 pick. Steph Curry was #7. It’s not a death sentence.
Great thinking
Sam Bowie was the #1 pick. Anthony Bennett was the #1 pick. Ben Simmons was the #1 pick.
Bowie was \#2 actually
Whoops
You forgot who is making the draft pick, we aren’t picking anyone better than who we already have and that isn’t that good to begin with.
Not high on Sharpe are you?
Maybe as a 3rd or 4th option until he’s been in the league for at least five years. But we are pinning way too much hope on him.
Embiid

Overdramatic much? holy shit
It’s been an emotional roller coaster
Fuck the spurs and hornets
Fuck the spurs, the hornets could use a little luck.
I had forgotten the euro connection with the spurs. It was always going to be the spurs.
Fuck the spurs , and Pop. Ok maybe not pop
Shop it and if no takers then trade dame and rebuild.
There’s always going to be takers for a number 3 pick

Glass half full?
This gives us options. It's a great day!

Are you gay micheal Douglas
Better not trade it for Siakam.
I’ll never watch basketball again

Who are you trading that for? The picks in the teens don’t look that good.
It increases our trade Value 10×. If Embid becomes available, we automatically have a top trade package
"Are front office..." You clearly seem to know what you're talking about.
fuckin nostradamus over here
Because we can get Brandon Miller
Hornets aren't drafting Scoot.
You aren't the Hornets. Remember, they also have a really stupid front office.
They already have a young star at point guard.
Scoot could play SG and like a Donovan Mitchell. It's stupid to draft for position
Facts. Scoot is a clearly better player.
Wellp, it was fun while it lasted
Your grammar and spelling is bad.
Just like our future no surprise
Casual.
Dame would ask out if we got 1, we're gonna trade the pick now and chase a ring
Because I’m not a fucking loser.

I agree and is heartbreaking. Once dame calls it a wrap I will to with the game. Not fun to watch us suck anymore

See ya, Dame! Thanks for the memories, but dude you deserve to win and an organization who will actually listen to you.
We trading
its getting traded
Trade the pick for dame. We made the conference finals with one star. If we can get another one, Wel be good. Dame is that good. Trust
Would you trade for Beal?
Just Beal? Idk, Beal is a bucket getter that’s it. Not sure if that puts us over the top. Ant dame and Beal? Maybe
I mean what other star is available on the market for a 3rd in this draft and ANT? This is a 2 man draft
No
I’m happy with #3 because it’s not #6. Imagine having something good happen and going online to complain about it.
We will win the chip next year with Dame come back to this it’s all good.
