Trail Blazers Outlook: Portland's Next Steps with the Roster and Building Through the Draft

I guess if you take a dim view of the team and then they surprise you, you can say, "well how 'bout that?" Let's remember the deep hole that NO put the team into. We have just barely got above ground. The history of teams tanking to win later is a very mixed bag. Sounds great on paper- trust the process...

The obligation to read that robotic, cookie cutter intro as fast as you can just to get it out of the way...

Why not trade back a few spots and take Walter Clayton Jr and build around more champion pedigree

Good chemistry! I hope you guys are wrong about Queen and his passing and offensive threat unlocks things for us, or we get Kasparas somehow for the same reason.

Derik Queen= Caleb Swanigan..

2 centers on the Blazers means no centers for half the season. Need at least 3. 4 is actually perfect. Inevitably 2 will be injured at the same time. This is how it works. There's no time ever in Blazers history we couldn't have used 4 centers. Playable centers. The bar being Duop or better.

When are we getting rid of our veterans? Grant, Ayton, Simons, Thybulle, Reath? Trade draft pick swaps back to Bucks for three point shooting. Give Chicago its pick back for players in trade.
Trade Banton and Murray also. Get the team sold and with a new owner.
Play Walker or trade him.
If we can’t trade Grant, can we stretch waive him? Or trade him for expiring contracts?
Should we trade for Sabonis or Markannen?

The day Scoot has the keys to this team is the day i really start to worry lol

Simons for Isaac, AB and their 2025 FRP

Honestly not sold on Scoot, but I’m not doubting he will pan out. This season will be a huge teller whether he is a future piece or not. I’m not against drafting a PG at all.

What about Derik Queen at the 4 spot Deni at 3, Coumara at the 2spot line up, sounds interesting right?

Idk about everyone else but I'm selling my stock in Scoot and Sharpe. Scoot improved from his rookie year but his first year was a disaster. Im sick of hearing how Sharpe could break out. He is who he is.

Tua, Clingan and Deni are the 3 I want to keep around. Everyone else is free game

Hola shalom

I just hope we get a true 4-5. Miss the old days of having true power forwards, I understand the league has shifted and 4-5s are basically no more .. just get one of the please!

Whatever we do please make a way to get Ben Sarah from the Euro league
