I've seen the photo of his knees. Look pretty scary( , guess Billups should give him some minutes to increase his value and then Blazers can trade him before he'll get injured once again((
unless we get a late first, I don't think there is a point in moving him for seconds. we'll probably just end up selling any hypothetical seconds, like last time.
Why would they trade him when his value is basically nothing. He could be worth a ton if he rehabilitates and has a healthy stretch. Giving him away is a dumb. You just said he has the ability to be one of the very best defenders in the league and you're just going to give them away. I like him as the backup if he ends up having a healthy stretch. I hope he ends up being healthy so we can get rid of Ayton. Portland is not trying to win this entire year you have to keep that in mind they're in the Cooper flag sweepstakes.
I think we should let him play a little bit and trade him before the deadline so he could build his value back up like you said if we trade him right now we're not going to get nothing but second round picks. Appreciate the video my guy!
Thanks for the comment! I agree, especially if there's no need to free up the roster spot, may as well wait and hold onto him and try and up his value!
Agreed. With the recent additions to the league of tall/mobile centers (Wimby/Chet & others), do you think that teams will need to go back to having more centers for the extra fouls? (Like when Shaq was in the league) What are your thoughts on how teams without tall/mobile bigs are going to compete?
If teams want to compete with guys like Wemby/ Chet they need elite defensive center. Guys like Gobert may not provide as much skill as the Wemby's of the NBA, but can still lock em down due to their elite defense. That's why I'm so high on the Clingan pick. If he's ELITE on defense in the coming years, that's a guy who can give the Blazers relief if they ever go up against OKC or the Spurs in the playoffs
We NEVER should have taken him, i was screaming from mountains he wouldnt ever play a minute cause he will be injured. Sure as shit...get rid of him. He cannot contribute because he cant be relied upon. Notice all these highlights are for Boston and NONE for us? Sorry, but I really hated this pickup. Along the lines of Meyers, and Collins level of garbage.
@pnwdevv I guess I've never been big on the idea of having bigs who get hurt. And it's not like his injury was a surprise. Ever since Oden and our training staff seem to injure our players constantly (could be tank reasons) been hesitant to get ones and take the risk. You are right though about in the moment, I sadly never felt that moment though lol
@@coreybreiland7586 Yeah... which I have heard they've replaced a bunch of the medical staff this summer due to all the core injuries (Dame, Nas, and now Sharpe) so something had to change. Hopefully Clingan can stay healthy
@pnwdevv exactly... gave Boston a chip giving away jrue, just to get back Williams who hardly played. Brogdon was never going to stay in Portland anyway.
Dallas or OKC should grab him. If y'all want to trade him. It's your loss. RW3 was the difference when healthy on the C's before jrue and KP came along. Mazulla didnt give him minutes even though he averaged the highest efficiency from 2 in NBA history at some points. And that decision lost them multiple games in the playoffs that would have been in the bag otherwise. RW3's value is purely in defense and only taking shots he knows he can make (why he never shoots 3's) this is why he is so deadly. He's actually smart. Not just good at basketball. He just never gets put on the pedestal he deserves, is always treated as an afterthought, and then gets injured because he's shoehorned in whenever teams need help stopping bigs on the fly. If teams would just commit to him, then he'd be fine. Dedicate a specialized PT to robert so they can always work on his knees. Plop him around the rim and let him handle business!!!
I'm in favor of keeping him until he's healthy to up his trade value, but he just doesn't have a place on this Blazers team rn with DA and Clingan unfortunately. I agree though he's great and it's a bummer he won't work here
I don't hate the idea, but practically this wouldn't happen. You couldn't count on Robert Williams being able to give you 20 min a night, and Clingan is not ready to play 28 mins in the NBA yet. He played 22.5 a game at UConn last year
We got nothing but time. I think we're building towards a very strong roster, but we're still waiting for someone to become the star to build around. Then we'll see what role players compliment our star and go from there.
I'd trade him. Not his fault he gets hurt often but you want durable two way players. Hes neither. Trade him for a guy you can play at the 4 and 5. Someone like Wood or Saric would be ideal.

I think this is whats most likely for sure if there's no market for him right now
unless we get a late first, I don't think there is a point in moving him for seconds. we'll probably just end up selling any hypothetical seconds, like last time.
Thanks for the videos, you do a great job with them! ✊🏽
Thank you so much for the kind comment, that means a ton! I love making them 🙏🏽🤝🏽🔥
Solid video, keep up the good work
Thanks bro, I appreciate the comment! Blessings,

Agreed, gotta try and get at least a 1st for him!

Nice vid
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
I would like see him on the pels
Notice how most of the highlights are on the Celtics
This has gotta be a troll 😂

It seemed so good in the moment, but looking back it was definitely a waste of value that we got back for Jrue Holiday

@@pnwdevv that's some hopeful news. Another great video BTW, keep em goin.

Move Ayton, Clingan 28min Timelord 20min rotation, they both play heavy D with passing ability, so our center playbook can remain the same.
I don't hate the idea, but practically this wouldn't happen. You couldn't count on Robert Williams being able to give you 20 min a night, and Clingan is not ready to play 28 mins in the NBA yet. He played 22.5 a game at UConn last year
Throw in Duop for some fun.
A couple of second round picks? Sounds like a price the Knicks could pay.
Yeah, I just don't see him going for much more. NYK could definitely be a potential landing spot!
Never trade with the celtics lmfaooo
Celtics always find a way to fleece everyone they trade with 😭
We got nothing but time. I think we're building towards a very strong roster, but we're still waiting for someone to become the star to build around. Then we'll see what role players compliment our star and go from there.
I agree! If he isn't being a burden while on the team then may as well hold onto him and try and up his value
forgot he was even there
He's only plaued 6 games 😭
Can we just play him at power forward until he gets injured?
Jerami Grant will play PF but don't see why Rob couldn't at least get a few minutes there each game
If we need to play small ball center Deni has done it. I image if NO wants Zion to play Center then we will need Deni to play some minutes at the 5.
I'd trade him. Not his fault he gets hurt often but you want durable two way players. Hes neither. Trade him for a guy you can play at the 4 and 5. Someone like Wood or Saric would be ideal.
Yeah, just depends what hsi value is on the trade market right now
Keep him trade Ayton
If healthy RW definitely fits better as a backup then Ayton
