An offseason plan with trade and draft explanation, 15 man lineup after all transaction, and thoughts on this new-look team ~ feel free to leave comments on the plan!
Trade:
Raptors: Anfernee Simons, Jusuf Nurkic, 5th pick, swap best
Blazers: Pascal Siakam, Precious Achiuwa, 2 srps
Mavs: Jusuf Nurkic, swap worst
It's time for the Raptors to blowup, it's not lookin gd for them, their championship DNA is basically all gone
It's cool for the Blazers to gain a high pick with 1 year Siakam, they will love this
Mavs loves spacing, and Nurk is one of the better stretching C with average defense, gonna be gd fit
Draft:
23th pick: Kobe Bufkin
43th pick: Keyonte Johnson
FA:
Resign Jerami Grant 3 year 70M
Resign Cam Reddish 2 years 19M
Resign Matisse Thybulle 2 years 16M
Resign Drew Eubanks 2 years 13M
Sign Dwayne Dedmon 1 year minimum
Lineup:
Starting:
Dame Sharpe Grant Siakam Achiuwa
Bench:
Bufkin Reddish Thybulle Little Eubanks
Reserves:
Keon Keyonte Walker Watford Dedmon
Conclusion:
Many of yall think Dame should go, but I just hate lookin at a non-Blazers Dame, it just doesn't seem right
I support players to stick with their team when they alrdy played there for like 10+ years, loyalty > everything, real amazing story if Portland rlly can get a ring with Dame
Pascal gonna be a great fit here, either defensively or offensively, with the versatile defense, and providing another good offenive option
Shaedon gonna get a big SG, im a huge believer in him so I don't he will disappoint.
Grant will run SF, with Thybulle and Reddish backing up
Drafting Bufkin as he might recreate what Blazers did with Simons, another great scoring PG
I sure hope Siakam can be the game changer for the Blazers, and I hope Shaedon Sharpe goes up to his full potential, if that's the case that backcourt gonna be crazy
