When Nurkic was traded to PDX the narrative from DEN was that he was a bad teammate. Now he is enjoying the best stretch of his career & will not talk about himself, only praises his teammates. To me, this just shows how truly important a change of scenery can be.

Blazers get an upgrade at C, & at just 25, one who fits Portland's young timeline. This is why you don't just take the Herro deal & live with it. & it still remains to be seen what they can get in a Jrue flip. Hard to call trading Dame a W, but this isn't bad at all.

I don't get the anti-Zion sentiment as a potential trade target for Portland. I get the injury history, but the dude is 22 years old, a Top 5 talent when healthy, and worth the risk involved if you want to shake the NBA boat. If the idea is to build around Dame, you do it.

The Dodgers currently have one of the best records in baseball thanks in large part to an ownership group that doesn't care about cutting costs. It cares only about doing everything needed to put together a championship roster. So, yeah, that would be great in PDX.

I didn't like the Powell trade in a nutshell. Not a lot of us did. But over the last few days the path the team is taking has become more clear, in a good way, & makes that move make more sense. Cronin setting the dominoes up. When/where they fall could be very interesting.

Blazers are still looking at a play-in spot, & I'd put money on Dame to advance from that point. From there a 1st round exit is just fine. It would convey the pick to CHI & open the door for Cronin to deal big-time this offseason... which has always been the plan. Don't tank.

If Hornets go with Scoot, then I honestly think the Blazers need to keep their pick. Miller is pretty much everything they have wanted in a forward. And on that rookie scale deal… yes please. I think he would play well next to Dame, and Dame might know it. Lots of intrigue here.
Sources: Scoot Henderson is gaining serious momentum at No. 2 with the Charlotte Hornets in tonight’s NBA draft. Hornets have been torn over the last week between Henderson and Brandon Miller. Team has final meetings today to settle on decision.
