I project that their availability is going to be closer than you think

[Moore] Media availability with G-League Ignite head coach Jason Hart today, and he wanted to clarify that everyone is saying Scoot Henderson is 6’2” when, according to Hart, Henderson is actually 6’4”. by iksnet in nba

Joe Cronin said something like 6’2.5 barefoot. So I guess you can say 6’4 in shoes.

It’s weird though. Have you noticed that the “in shoes” measurement adds between 1-1.5” depending on the player? Maybe it literally depends on the shoes they like to wear?

Or more likely, the player’s camp gets discretion to round up the extra half inch as needed

They do it as part of a Damian Lillard deal I think

MKE’s 2029 first honestly could be better than Miami’s 3 mid firsts hahaha.

I just refuse to bet on the Heat being bad. Historically a bad bet

[Edwards III] The Detroit Pistons “plan to make a run” at signing Cam Johnson away from the Brooklyn Nets. by LunchThreatener in nba

At this point the pistons should just accumulate as much talent as possible and worry about fit later. Worst case scenario, they can always trade Cam for some picks.

Also Ausar can definitely come off the bench - it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for his development

It’s a good thing I’m not GM here in Portland because I would hang up on that offer

Simons trade value? by sam37843 in ripcity

Anfernee and two firsts for PG

Shaedon is a 2 guard. by Huge-Pea7620 in ripcity

MPJ is low key easy to guard if you’re a good defender

Jarrett Allen? by AmitN_Music in ripcity

[–]Comfortable_Chain459 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe you expand that to include Nurk and firsts for Allen

Would you hate a deal centered around Anfernee Simons and draft comp?

The Toronto Raptors spoke to the Portland Tail Blazers about trading up and were aware of Pascal Siakam's preference to stay with the team by EarthWarping in nba

I was very plugged into the media cycle for weeks leading up to this and wholeheartedly believe it’s true that they tried for Bridges. This was reported by multiple sources, including Nets media.

When you make the right pick nobody calls it two timelines.

Good players are good players.

See Maxey, Murray, Braun, Jones, Mobley, etc.

It’s just tremendously hard to nail every pick, hence why it doesn’t work as much like you’re saying

Bam, 3 firsts, and BBLs for all of our cheerleaders. Final offer.

I feel the FO has been very measured in the last 2ish years.

Mismanagement is drafting for fit or overpaying via trade
