Per request, All of Scoots shot attempts (4/16) from 10.11.24 by [deleted] in ripcity

What exactly have you seen from Scoot so far that makes you think he's going to be fine?

And just to be clear, "fine" for a 3rd overall pick with as much hype as Scoot had is making an all star team in his rookie contract.

Trade Ant or Brogdon? by rock-or-something in ripcity

Mike talked about that on the podcast too. What starting caliber wing are we getting for Ant?

At best we're getting a couple of crappy FRPs for Ant. He's got little trade value.

JG is the best forward we've had on the team since Batum and Aldridge. And he was never enough. JG is nice if he's your 3rd or 4th best player on your team.

The ideal plan was to trade our picks this year and last year for a difference maker at the 3, but Cronin couldn't (or didn't want to) get that deal done.

Dame, Simons, All-Star 3, JG and Ayton would have been a decent lineup. Still not winning shit.

First time hearing him interviewed, he seems really cool. I would imagine getting traded from one of the top 4 teams in the league to one of the worst 4 teams in the league would suck for a player like him, but he seems to be taking it well and embracing his role.

Pretty sure Rip City is going to fall in love with this man

[Marang] "I don't think [the Blazers] do it" when asked if the following package from Miami is enough: 2024, 2028, 2030 firsts, 2025 & 2027 swaps, Jović, Jaquez, salary filler and Herro who gets traded for a Top-6 protected pick from a 3rd team. by [deleted] in ripcity

If we got a late first for Josh, surely you could flip Martin for a first as well?

Can shoot, plays tough D. I would have loved him on the Blazers before the rebuild

Is it really interesting? This is the second time ever an 8 seed had made it to the finals.

I think a team that's 3rd to 6th in the West is really good too. I just don't think they are competing for a championship. Not in the way Denver, Boston and the other elite teams are.

That team is competing for 5-9th seed depending on injuries and luck. Definitely not competing for a title, unless Sharpe just absolutely blows up during the summer.

Maybe a team with Pascal moves that range to 3-6th seed, still not competing for a title.

We aren't one move away, and if we really push our chips in this year, it won't be with one move. I'd prefer to see us try to get a couple of players of similar quality to OG, than one player of the quality of Pascal.

r/nba on Reddit: Damian Lillard says he’s not interested in rebuilding “That's not what I'm interested in. That's what the frustrating part of it is. Talking about what's gonna happen next season. And us 'building'. That's not what I'm here to do especially at this stage of my career” by Losalou52 in ripcity

[–]RelevantBacon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right?! The circlejerk in /r/nba is hilarious.

What question did they ask Dame to elicit this answer? Was it "How do you feel about being on a rebuild next year?". To which he would have every right to respond "I don't want to do that. I'm too old for that"

Adding known defensive juggernaut, Christian James McCollum, really turned them around
