bulls weren’t in the play-in this year, but they sure as hell made sure they stayed involved

coby white to force OT & blazers win meaning they gotta send their 1st round pick this draft to the bulls

Really though, I know it’s always nice to have a pick but what would Portland have used it on? They have two centers, two point guards, a star wing and then five other wings with varying levels of 3 and/or D. They don’t need another guy drafted at 16. They’d just draft another Kris Murray equivalent again.

Super excited to be stuck in the wasteland that is first round playoff basketball with no meaningful way to make a leap because we had kind of poor lottery luck and never attempted a bottoming out rebuild. I hate tanking even more however.

Over half of your guys, including most of your important guys, are 25 or younger. You have a star in Avdija and good complimentary players around him. If Scoot or Sharpe puts it together even a bit more you could be very good. The real problem is that you’re playing in the West so your ceiling will probably be the 3rd or 4th best team in the conference because of the monstrous teams you’re competing with.

my understanding was this pick the bulls were due was also preventing the blazers from trading future firsts maybe they can make a splash trade now

The blazers are basically stuck in the same spot as when Dame was in his prime a pretty good team that will never beat the spurs, okc or Nuggets which will be around the entire time your team is in its prime

They’re also in a good spot with Lillard coming back next season. Drafting a solid PF and adding size/rim protection to the team would be an absolute priority. Lots of guys around that 15-18 range like Jayden Quaintance, Thomas Haugh, Morez Johnson.

feels like the Blazers are 1 centerpiece away from being legit contenders. excellent perimeter and paint defenders up and down the roster, uber athletic scoring guard in Sharpe, good vets in Jrue/Grant and a fantastic #2 in Deni

Ironically prime Dame would kill with this roster with his shooting / playmaking
