Blazers are constructed horribly

[god shamgod]

Not worse than the bulls

Sixers would do that in a heartbeat, but the Blazers won't IMO.

They'd also have to account for his future free agency and will probably need to splash more than 20 mill a season to keep him

Paul Allen got money to burn, see the Allen Crabbe contract.

Nerlens Noel is being hyped as some player that he really isnt. Hes a decent player but hes not the difference between Portland being a good or bad team.

When your team is giving up 110+ a game, a defensive anchor like Noel could boost that team a lot

They believed in their own hype after getting to the second round last season without looking into the proper context of how they got there.

They were better than expected but they would've never been the 5th seed if the Grizzlies were healthy and the Rockets didn't implode. They also would'nt have gotten to the second round if Chris Paul and Blake didn't get hurt

Maybe if they were receiving Noel for free. The bigger problem is Portland just doesnt have much talent. All these proposals are doing is shuffling furniture on the Titanic

True that and there's no hard cap. IDK if he wants to invest that much in what could basically be a treadmill/2nd round exit team at best

Truth.

Jet for Lillard

Make it happen

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Probably the best trading partner Philly has in terms of making sense to deal with them. Likely because of that shyt won't happen.

 

[The Frozen One]

why the fukk did they get turner when they have shyt load of guards.

and plumlee gotta go. he's at best a bench player, not a starter. they need a legit C. they also do no have a PF.

come to think of it, they need someone at every position

 

[David_TheMan]

Maybe Blazers could make a trade for Okafor or make a deal with Sacramento for Boogie

 

[tremonthustler1]

Might be the worst offseason I've ever seen from a team. Almost everything they did in the summer was nonsensical.

I do think they need to deal CJ because it's just not gonna work defensively with him and Lillard as the backcourt.

Well they couldn't get KD. What else could they do?


They banked on Vonleh being that prospect that would blossom with a change of scenery.


Turns out he is GARBAGE!

Turner is a capable Point Forward and the plan was to have him handle the ball and put Lillard and McCollum off-ball with their shooting...

Honestly, Portland could have had Lance Stephenson at the minimum with a similar skillset maybe he doesn't get injured if things are different.

Portland needs Aminu back and they should trade Crabbe+a draft pick for Nerlens Noel. He's probably the fastest big in the league, can protect the rim, cover tons of ground, and switch onto guards on the P&R.

I still have faith in this team it's still very early.

I still wish he woulda gone to Portland.
