@pnwdevv I would love to see us trade Grant to the Lakers, and I would be okay just getting just Vando, a first round pick and maybe a 2nd round for him. As far as overvaluing Simon's. Maybe, I am, but I know we put a lot of time into developing him into the stud he is, and he's still young enough to run with this crew so why give up the keys to the Cadillac before we see, if those boys can drive? I really don't know if Shaedon's ceiling is as high as Simons.
The need to trade for Luka Garza as their 5 he would make them a play in team
I think Ayton should stay for a while and be an offensive mentor for clingan. If he’s happy to accept that role of course. I wouldn’t be too rushed to trade DA if I was Cronin. Great video btw! ❤
Thank you so much! I agree, Ayton being a mentor for a year or 2 atleast would be beneficial and cool to see
I think it's to our benefit to keep Ayton as well, in part because the rest of the league is so hostile towards him that I don't think we're likely to get fair value for him in any trade. Give him until at least the trade deadline to prove what he can do and let Clingan develop with a little less pressure on him out of the gate.
Clingan is not becoming a great offensive player just forget that
I would prefer for them to trade for Luka Garza and underrated offensive big juggernaut and he would fit well with scoot and deni
@@amazonfinds9157 How you gonna just write off an entire half of his game before he even plays 1 game?
Hot take: Blazers should be trying to trade with teams they can absolutely fleece for their players/picks, even if it means picking up bad contracts to do so.
Example, trade Ayton & Simons to Bulls for LaVine and a mountain of picks.
Don't hate this idea, picks will always be valuable so if these guys aren't part of the plan longterm than yeah get peak value 🤞🏽
I wanna give my opinion on these trade ideas. Firstly, the Lakers already did agree on a trade to acquire Jerami Grant, but Rob Polinka was like "wait nvm". I'm not a lakers fan by any means, but I don't think that Grant would improve their team, however I do think that the second trade package would be a very good return(but the Lakers wouldn't make the picks unprotected and already reported they want to see how Vanderbilt and Vincent play this season). I also do believe that Simons would fit best on the Orlando Magic, but there's an 'if'. Simons is not a good playmaker, but he is much better than Suggs. The Magic need a point guard and Simons would have to move to the 1, but if he can be a better passer, then he will fit great with the team. Next, Thybulle for Kleber is such an easy trade, but the Mavs front office is for some reason holding onto Dwight Powell and Kleber for absolutely no reason. Kleber got a 3 year 33 million extension when he was already not a good 3 point shooter or defender, he's too weak to play the 5 and can't rebound. So despite it being a great swap for Dallas, this trade probably will not happen. Lastly, the raptors are NOT trading for Ayton. I'm a Raptors fan, and I know that the front office was thinking about trading/signing Ayton in the past but that was because the team didn't have a starting center at the time and Ayton was 2-3 years younger. Ayton is not a great defender, neither is Poeltl but he's a bit better anyways. Poeltl doesn't want to be on a rebuilding team again, so it wouldn't make sense for the raptors to trade him to the Blazers, and Ayton would clog up the scoring balance that the Raptors are building. They already have 3 main scorers in the starting lineup(Quickley, RJ and Scottie) so it would make no sense to add an 18ppg guy in Ayton. It would make more sense for the Bucks to trade Lopez or the Bulls to trade Vucevic to the Blazers for Ayton(either of the two would get bought out/waived) or a 3 team trade where the Pelicans get Ayton, a second team gets Ingram and the Blazers get a pick or two plus salary
Grant and Williams to the lakers package is the one I want as a blazers fan. That’s the one.
🔥
We just signed Graham so I think that’s an indication that Simons will be moved soon
Or Banton gets cut
Banton can actually play ball. He has a higher basketball IQ than Simons
Just wanted to say I’m a big fan of your content man. Great edits, solid info without being too much of a homer, and consistent content output.
Keep it up man, the road to 1,000 will come quickly.
I appreciate it so much, thank you! I try to be level headed cause it's easy to be biased over players of the team we're a fan of. Glad you're here!🤝🏽
Anf shouldn't be traded.. literally hes a year older than avdija who we just traded for..scoot can be a bust..
I believe he's 2 years older, but I get what ur saying. But those reports I mentioned seem to indicate there's some level of interest from the Blazers to trade him either way
He has 2 years in the nba more than Deni
I think it’s a little too early to call scoot a bust. He’s very raw with a high upside. Trade simons while his value is high.
The only 19 year old rookie that has ever looked good was Lebron. Even Kobe’s first couple years were rough. Glad people like you don’t make executive decisions!
@@thuggwaffle8825 dame was great
Man if we don’t deal TimeLord and he comes back healthy, a duo of him and KlingKong would be pretty sick backing each other up. Not an Ayton fan so all for him being traded. Should be an interesting season coming up.
Good point. Thybulle makese sense either way. If Timelord is hurt may as well just hold onto him
the raptors wouldn't do this trade Ayton is a negative value contract, you would have to give the raptors 2 frp's to take his contract
IDK about negative contract giving how he played at the end of last season and next offseason he'll become expiring
@@pnwdevv Definitely negative value, nobody should trust him.
Ant should not be traded ever!!!
He should if they get a good offer
@@pnwdevvits never a good idea to trade the best player, especially when hasn't reached his prime, fits the timeline and its the only shooter Portland has (btw one of the best in the league)..they traded for avdija to get better now trading Anf will take them way too many steps back...i hear/read a lot of talk about how scoot could become this that, Anf its certified bucket wtf want to trade him now.. perfect fot for Portland
Do NOT trade Timelord until we see him post surgery😤😤
Fair, I just don't see where he gets minutes behind DA and Clingan
Our roster is full unless we cut Banton (as you know im sure).
It's more than full now that they signed Devonte Graham
the Blazers finished last season in the #3 draft spot. Don't touch it !! Melting down for ping pong balls is too hot to contain.
Are we just trying to save the owner money? These are the most reliable scorers from last season. Or is it just to tank better? I would like to see DeAndre Aten moved to power forward. Look how well it worked for the Timberwolves. Anyway, hearing that it's top priority to tank again, and give all the players that equal wins away takes the wind right out of my sails.
A team at this stage should be saving money and not in the tax. I've been thinking its a win win cause either this team is better than we thought and its fun, or they suck and can tank for Cooper Flagg or another player high in the draft. Either way will have me excited haha
It didn't work in Minnesota. That's one of the reasons they lost in the playoffs. Rudy is an offensive liability and Clingan is worse than Rudy.
@@MrJjreid Dude has even enter the league, let his offensive grow
@hugoignacio9520 And that's way you shouldn't have high expectations. Right now Clingan doesn't look more than a backup.
@@MrJjreid He just been good at defending has more impact than Ayton
Williams when healthy will NOT be the 3rd center, he will be the 2nd
you pushing 7th overall pick Clingan to the 3rd string then? cmon now
@pnwdevv In basketball, it's about VALUE. Williams has none, so he needs to play to get that back so he can get traded. I mean it's pretty simple.
@@shawnc4268 It's about value sure, but more about this team and it's future. Clingan playing a full season is more beneficial for his development, than Robert Williams gained trade value after playing a year. Not hard
@pnwdevv I mean it seems like it's hard for you, lol. Clinga will not get 20 minutes a night when Williams is healthy, that's just common sense.
@@shawnc4268 Williams gonna get traded so we won't have to have this discussion at the start of the season we good
I wouldn't trade ayton yet.
Yeah, I figured 1 more season, and then they should look at moving him if Clingan is that guy
Rui is 26
You're right, idk why I thought he was at least 24
Fentress is a joke...Danny marang is the man
I like ant but he dose not fit in to what the Blazers trying to do,
I agree. He's also mentioned wanting to win and be in the playoffs so I'd love to see him so somewhere where he can compete
I'd be careful listening to Fentress, he's a Dame truther and seems to have distain for Cronin.
Disdain for Cronin is understandable, right?
@@scottwickett1273 if you're a Heat fan...
Trade simons asap!
Nobody wants Williams….his health is too unstable
Ayton to raptors is nice
Don't need to make any trades. Why trade away your best scorer?
Make way for Scoot. But imo you should only trade him if there's a good trade out there for him
Make more opportunities for Scoot and Sharpe they are the 2 most naturally talented players on the team. Scoot has a higher ceiling as a playmaker and defender than Ant does. Sharpe's upside really as high as he wants to make it. He's got Vince Carter type athleticism and he's show on 2 shample sizes that he can score on all three levels, his passing decision making needs some further improvement but this past year he got hurt and when he was running the show the team had no shooters or even a good ballhander. Ant, Brogdon, and Scoot were out and I think even Ayton got hurt around that time. He's also just got a smoothness to his game. It really depends on how much dedication he puts into the game and not being as passive. Sometimes I notice he gets alittle too comfortable with being a role player. When he could be the best player on the team and have a prime where he could be like a Brandon Roy with Vince Carter/Zach Lavine athleticism
If the Blazers trade Ant, Grant, and Ayton they become a bottom dweller for the next five years until a new owner or front office steps in. Scoot is a long way from being ready and Clingan is a career backup center.
The next draft is very good we should be a bottom team this year to land a good pick
Definitely not saying they should trade them all for nothing lol. Ayton for sure should not be traded until at least next offseason
Thanks for interesting video. I totally agree the mentioned players should be traded though i doubt Blazers can get all those assets.
Ayton has a great potential but absolutely lacks a passion to play. His statistics look like a fake . He puts 0 effort in defence, he isn't willing to make screens ( and Scoot needs it). You need an idiot gm to bring this poison to the ream- sorry but i really think so. That's why Blazers MUST get rid of him. Pelltle is a solid center and Ujiri won't trade him for Ayton.So you have to find expiring heavy contract. And so we find one- Ben Simmons, a dead man walking)). 40 mln and Ayton has 35×2. That's why i would add Timelord and take some fillers. Maybe Marks will consider he can trade Rob and get something for Ben. And in a year naybe to get smth forr Ayton.
And the Blazers will use a Clingan as a part of the 1st unit. And save a lot of money next season
Grant: too heavy contract but a good role player. LAL wants to get rid of Russel ( 18 mln) and will give 1 pick. Looks fare. Maybe 1 or 2 2nd picks will be nice . Lal maybe will get them from a 3d team and will give it to you.
Simons is a poor defending player but a great shooter. I'd think anout Detroit. Thay badly lack shooters, have lots of young players. So maybe 1 or two 1st picks and Ivey, or swap. Orlando just signed KCP and it's defence oriented team. So i dount they'l be interesed. Sorry for such a long comment.
Thanks for the comment! I agree with just about everything you said. Will be interesting to see what they do in the coming weeks, especially after the Devonte Graham signing
Your take on Ayton is completely false. Did you even watch any Portland games last season? The team was so much competitive when Ayton played. Scoot played better because of Ayton. Ayton was a pick and pop threat and a lob threat for Scoot. Clingan is the worst center to pair with Scoot. He can't shoot and isn't a lob threat.
@@MrJjreid hmm, i admiss that i'm here because of Deni, he's the first star of our national team) and i didn't watch lots of Blazers' game. If i"m wrong, we"ll see a long line of managers willing to trade Ayton). On the other hand , drafting Clingan means something. Ayton's netrating was awful, almost similar to the team (- 8.7 and -9.0). And he's supposed to be a star. He improved scoring stats in the last month of the season - garbage stats that don't mean too much -and we remember all the the injuries.
@arkadypolonsky2355 Portland was bad as a whole Ayton barely got the ball in the beginning of the season and was hurt most of December. He played well the last 4 months of the season not the just the last month. He averaged 20 & 12 the last 4 months of the season when he got healthy and finally got the ball
@@MrJjreid he played 55 games last season. Average of 16.7 points. I saw stats that in the first 25 games he scored about 14 points per game. That means about 18 points in the last 30 games. Generally that was very bad season. Especially regarding his defence. But let's see if he is able to stop being Domilazyayton. My bet is he won't and will start putting efforts in his contract season.
Jakob Poelt is way better than Kelly Olynyk. I would take him in a heartbeat. I think your Simons trade for Anthony Black is garbage. You are way undervaluing Anferee Simons and way overvaluing garbage player Anthony black. I did like some of your Laker trade of Jeremy Grant. 2 first, and I'd rather have Vanderbilt.
I think you're overvaluing Simons. I get it, it's easy to overvalue players that we watch 82 games each year. But you gotta understand the rest of the league doesn't view him that way, and his archetype isn't as desired by other teams. Gotta view these trades from a non biased standpoint, and from the other teams POV.
I would not trade Black for Simons, and I don't think the Magic would either unless you are bribing them with draft picks.
