    Joe COOKED today. Deni has one of the most team friendly contracts in the league, does pretty much everything well, shooting/rebounding/defending/passing, he’s 6’9 and 23 years old, and will only be an 11 mil cap hit in 4 years which is insane. And then to get Clingan at #7!? Wild. A lot of people thought he could go first. Or top 3 at worst. Blazers were dead last in rim protection last year. He fixes that day 1. He has a ton of upside and a high ceiling. Great character too and a proven winner. Blazers young nucleus is solid, and they are all 25 and younger which is awesome. And they could still move Grant and/or Simons and fetch a lot of draft capital. Congrats to Cronin and the Blazers, fans should be ecstatic with what they added today. The future is starting to look brighter.
  • Cronin cook with that Avdija trade! To add the starting SF on Draft Night for Brogdon + two 1st (#14 + 1 of our 3 β€˜29 1sts) + two future 2nds (β€˜28 and β€˜30) is great business. Fantastic 4 year contract at 23yo, pass dribble and shoots, plays smart defensively, rebounds so pairs great with Grant. Then draft the guy at the top of your board. Creating pressure for Ayton, and flexibility at the end of Ayton’s contract. Grade A night from Cronin, excited for round 2!

    Noticed he said build around Scoot n Sharpe. Could we be saying goodbye to Simons sooner rather than later?

    Joe did great. If Deni improves even more, then it’s an absolute home run πŸŽ‰
  • @asherosu
    I’m happy with all of this. We got better today.

    joe "goldberg" cronin has been on a roll these last few days. bravo!
  • Blazers should totally draft Bronny with their second 2nd tonight, and then package him with Grant to the Lakers for Knecht. What a move that would make, and what a draft haul that would be this year. A fa
  • Anfernee was drafted by Neil and his scouting team. I just don’t think Joe is as high on anfernee as Neil was. And we seen how Joe treated trading dame. So I definitely think it’s just ya matter of when Joe feels he can get what he wants in return before ant is gone unfortunately
  • He said, build around Scoot and Sharpe. This tells me, Ant will be moved for sure.
  • Looking forward to our future, let's see what unfolds RipCity!!!
  • @bzx7200
    You got Dani .he can move fast and give the ball to everyone.good lucky.
  • @drummmer05
    It's NOT and, / or media people!!! Every legit team has DEPTH!!! 2 or 3 Grt Bigs! 2 or 3 Grt Wings! 2 or 3 Grt Guards!!! ; It's NOT Ayton OR Clingon!!!! Dalton can play center for DEF. and Ayton can play Pwr Fwd, bcuz he's a great shooter & finesse guy!!! aka Katt & Rudy!!! ;
  • Second round is gonna be BIG for Portland. At pick 34, According to ESPN's Draft Simulator: 75% chance of Tyler Smith 75% chance of Bobi Klintman 54% chance of Kyle Filipowski 43% chance of Tyler Kolek 34% chance of Johnny Furphy
