@blazers_palace I think some people just perceive it as a loss to have him taken by somebody else versus if we’d chosen one of the other candidates and THEN he went elsewhere. Even though the outcome is the same.
He was hired to overhaul the offence and we still weren’t running plays in May.
@blazersedge Scoot is a significantly better passer and defender, has become pretty much as good a shooter (look at how he was shooting by the end of the season and in the playoffs), and fits with way more lineup combos. And he’s younger.
Shaedon basically can’t play with Dame.
@aitaikimochi I didn’t mind the minigames as much as I minded the sheer overload of regional activities. Just like 15-20% too many of them. And too many of the ‘do this exact same thing 3-4 times’ quests.
@TwoForOneTalk You can’t have two non-scorers in a lineup so it has to be Camara unless he’s going to play center. He will have to shoot his way back into his spot.
@blazers_palace I think he makes WAY more sense. Helps with the shooting problem whereas Giannis makes it worse. Could play next to Deni (if we keep him), Giannis couldn’t. Under contract for longer and could potentially be acquired for less/bring a young Boston shooter with him.
@JWeinbachNBA Giannis to Boston
Brown to Portland
Deni, Grant and picks to Milwaukee
Perhaps some additional bench players and picks in all directions to smooth it out, but that’s the crux of it.
Brown fits better than Giannis who is more likely to extend in Boston than Portland.
I really don’t like YouTube etc’s targeted language over the last few years.
‘Details you missed in ____’
‘You didn’t understand ____’
‘You’re wrong about ____’
Are you trying to provoke me into saying ‘oh yeah????’ so I watch your video? All I’m hearing is you think in dumb.
@TwoForOneTalk 100%. They’ve been guilty of this for a long time. Hung onto too many guys they liked that were clearly flawed or good but not good enough.
They need to consider basically everybody expendable if the right deals are available.
Not the time to be sentimental.
@WorldWideWob They need to make some tough calls about players the staff and fans are sentimentally attached to. Clingan and Camara are two of them. Murray’s gotta go. They need to install a proper offence. I’d consider trading high on Deni to land a more consistent star who can do more.
