You think its that bad? I get Scoot will be rough many a night, but that front court is pretty solid.
I have no idea how they are. Seems many teams are not awful on paper in the age of parity.

ha I was just rolling and adding to what KnickDanger posted.

For me, Portland looks like they could be fun to watch. Probably not a straight tank team but also probably not a playoff team.

I'd guess that Sharpe, Scoot, Simons, Ayton are their mainstays. Malcolm and Grant could be on move when eligible but you never know how FO's value some stead vets, and they are steady guys to have around their young crew.

Their situation is interesting to me.

My comment was tongue in cheek also - more a comment on last season than this. With Scoot plus cannot argue with their direction.

As soon as they drafted Scoot, Dame-time was over IMHO

We need smilies or "LOL"s as context gets lost on some of us from time to time.

Funny, we all praise Cronin because media set a narrative with Miami. We have learned they have not talked since July so perhaps all the "Miami can go fuck themselves" is really not quite accurate. This was between Dame and Blazers and that if you take the money an don't have a no trade clause, you can't dictate.
League put the kibosh on hold outs and how it would go down if Dame was going to pull a diva hissy fit.
I think both sides did well and a reasonable resolution found. Fact is Bucks with Dame are better than Miami would have been. Maybe.
The weather and state tax aside, it was a good trade.

And yes, Blazers will go as far as Kevin Knox will take them!!!

What happened in-between to make them decide to change course? I'm thinking they probably trade grant if they knew a rebuild was the horizon. Did they think that highly of Scoot that his availability in the draft made them change course? I wouldn't blame them if they did. I thought Scoot was the clear #2 in the past draft.

Portland can do something with that squad. May surprise a lot of people

Not sure how i feel about the impact on the bucks. Losing Jrue's defense will put a lot of pressure on Giannis and Brook plus overall hurt the defense

rookie coach will be the wild card
