good move for Portland, OKC does it because they dont want to pay Dort a big deal after this season
A 5 pick jump for Lou Dort
seems like an overpay unless you really see no distinction in player quality between 7-12

Dame being trapped on every play because nobody gives a damn about guarding a Lou Dort or Jeremy Sochan broke shot shooting ass <<<<Lou Dort and Jeremy Sochan locking up wings and not asking for the ball > Shaedon Sharpe taking shots away from Dame![]()
teams seem to be prioritizing defense so far..
interesting what the playoffs show..
Lu Dort is pretty good and would help their defense out big time.
But I am just not a fan of the lillard/simons/Dort trio. Another small group.
Yeah that’s 1000% an OKC rumor .Dame being trapped on every play because nobody gives a damn about guarding a Lou Dort or Jeremy Sochan broke shot shooting ass <<<<
You can get the same type of player in Delon Wright or GPII in free agency without relinquishing the draft capital
Unless OKC was willing to toss in another one of those 1st rd picks from next seasonYeah that’s 1000% an OKC rumor .
Makes absolutely zero sense for Portland.

Let me preface by saying for the life of me I couldn't understand why they took Mitchell. They clearly don't know what they want, even after taking Fox, keeping Fox, maxing out Fox and drafting Haliburton and then with both on the roster, taking Mitchell.Why are they prioritizing Davion Mitchell lol … passing on Jaden Ivey to get Kyle Kuzma and the damn 12th pick would be so quintessential kings shyt![]()
I don’t mind them taking Mitchell at 9 I mean you need a lot of good players to win games regardless… especially at pick 9 …it’s not like they passed up on some HOF talent to get him …but I’m just not prioritizing him as some sort of franchise caliber player tho … he’s a nice tough 3rd guard that can come off the bench and do his thing but I’m not letting him stop me from taking another dynamic guard that can potentially be a centerpiece of a franchiseLet me preface by saying for the life of me I couldn't understand why they took Mitchell.

If I were them and I couldn't move out of 4, take Ivey, but then they have to live with the fact that they used the 9th pick on a 23-24 year old backup PG because they have a major issue with indecision.
Trading down might work, but they're not gonna get the benefit of the doubt til they build something resembling a team (if they offered a future first instead of Kuzma, I'd consider it if I were the Kings and then they're in a position to grab Williams, Branham, Davis, etc.)
Why would you want thybulleThybulle to the rockets for tate and a second round pick![]()
