Two firsts for basically nothing? Does this make Portland any better whatsoever?

28 Aug 2019 12:15:07
You get 3 or 4 solid role players. Portis could legitimately good. It makes some sense if Nurkic gets back early and looks good.

28 Aug 2019 14:34:15
They give up two solid role players and two firsts for 3-4 solid role players?

And the bigger question: Portland is current somewhere around the 4-7 place in the west hierarchy. Where are they after this trade? 4-7? It's a status quo move that gives up any chance of landing an actual difference maker.

Hood moves into the starting SF position? Sure, sounds good!

28 Aug 2019 15:44:15
Hood is going to start at SF the way the roster sits now, from what I’ve read.

another NYK fan hoping and wishing that that could be the blazers. pretty crappy trade idea. portland would hang up the phone and block all your call backs.
