  The Blazers welcomed him on Twitter (they didn’t welcome Jrue), so they might keep him for now. It seemed he was unhappy when the Celtics announced that Derrick White was going to start over him after Smart was traded, so I don’t know why he’d want to backup Scoot. Unless he’s not going to backup Scoot, then I’d have to ask what the hell the Blazers are doing. But if he turns out to be okay with it, I’d be more than happy to keep him.

  Portland needs a back up point guard to replace him and some forward depth. Right now they’ve got seven other rotation players not including him, not yet knowing what they have in Kris Murray or second year Jabari Walker:

  • Scoot
  • Sharpe
  • Simons
  • Thybulle
  • Grant
  • Time Lord
  • Ayton

  Everyone else is super raw except for Knox, who probably won’t get much better than he is. But perhaps they’re more concerned with developing that raw talent than with depth right now, since expectations aren’t necessarily going to be measured in wins this year. I guess we’ll know once they trade him.

  Jrue Holiday for Time Lord, Brogdon, a GSW '24 1st Rd Pick (top 4 protected), and a Celtics unprotected '29 1st Rd Pick.

  Outside of all the media rumors and social media back-and-forth, who knows what that Riley-Cronin relationship is really like. Maybe it’s fine and all the rumor bluster is just way overblown. Either way, I think it’s going to be a lot easier for us to trade Jrue than Dame.

  As a Blazer fan I wish him the best, no hard feelings. I hope he gets that championship. I’m looking forward to the new-look Blazers:

  Scoot Henderson Anfernee Simons Shaedon Sharpe Jerami Grant Deandre Ayton

  Looks like we’re going to move Jrue.

  Can the right column be updated to show “Portland Trail Blazers” rather than “Portland Trailblazers”? It’s the official spelling.

  Dame wanted to have a “puncher’s chance” at contending, and he can do that in a number of places. As a Blazer fan I want Dame to succeed, and I want him to get what he wants, but I also don’t want my franchise to be on the ass-end of a terrible trade. I really think if he had given us a few options that this would be over by now. People have questioned whether a number of Cronin’s previous trades weren’t perhaps overpays for what they got in return, but he always sent his players to places and situations they wanted to be in (Powell/Covington to LA, McCollum/Nance to NOLA, Hart to NY, Payton II to GSW). Doesn’t mean we have to entertain unreasonable offers if that’s what they are.
