    Need to see the full trade details.

    Portland has a good thing going. Adding a bonehead like Ja is risky.

    Some of them will be traded, possibly for JB.

    Stay tuned.

    Can Dame and Ja fit? I don’t think Dame would be traded

    Bro Ja’s trade value is in the negatives. Dude is a wannabe gangster and is literally injured every season. I’m surprised they didn’t just cut them

    He’s in Portland
    Which the team might leave cause the city won’t pay to upgrade the stadium
    @RB713
    @Salvy
    They might be the Seattle super sonics part 2

    It’s crazy that Ja Morant has never been all NBA because he has never played more than 65 games since his rookie season. So the cheap Blazers don’t have to offer him the supermax

    Perfect guy for them to trade for, keeps them above the minimum salary, good enough / enough name recognition to keep the casual fans interested, never going to cost more than the regular max.

    Serious question: is Ja even the best player in the deal?

    Productive high-end role player vs. bonehead, injury prone has-been that was never really that good in the first place.

    Give me Grant.

    I think it's a masterful idea. They are playing on their fanbases need for nostalgia.

    Portland Jailblazers are BACK BABYYYY!!!!

    Can we talk the Blazers into signing Marcus Smart since they appear to be the dumbest FO in the league?
