@Skooby @thelonious21 @raidersreceiver @L. Deezy

Just looked at our depth chart for the upcoming season :snoop:
Portland Trail Blazers 2018 Depth Chart - ESPN
We're fukked......

Cons:
Pat just got a guaranteed contract for the rest of the year and he's our back up SG,
Shabazz is our only backup pg ( :snoop: )(another undersized guard in the game that's a defensive liability, who can't score. )
Evan Turner is the 6th man / backup sf/pg @smitty22 (no thanks :snoop: )
Jake Layman has potential at the 3,due to his height and length but he was still garbage and not up to nba speed last year. Hopefully he progressed a lot more in the offseason,otherwise he's deadweight to us.....
Aminu is clumsy as heck is the starting PF, very turnover prone, and undersized at the 4 imo. He should be a 3
Vonleh has moments but can be deadweight at times he's really going struggle for minutes this season.
Davis is cool just undersized, at the 5, but they're trying keep him at the 4....
Meyers Leonard is our garbage back up center
Zach Collins is meyer leonard 2.0, with a lil bit better 3pt %, and slightly better rebounding....
Basically the 4 spot will be struggle for minutes. The 5 spot will be extremely discerning especially if nurkic goes down. The season basically over if davis and nurkic are both out for a lengthy time. ( :snoop: ) Why couldnt we just secure a decent backup.....

Positives:
-interested in seeing Nurkic in the system, with a fresh real start
-Caleb is a beast, I expect him to be the starting PF by the end of the season. That dude is a zbo type player, if you wanted him in summer league. He was just in the right place at the right time. And doesnt really have to jump. Despite being undersized he has great length, and plays with a high basketball iq
-Mo Harkless should be a bit more polished
-Meyers leonard may finally be moved by trade deadline....

Either way I'm not expecting much. Probably 8-10 spot in the west. @Malta :eat:

I think we got a chance to make the offs..
And I hope Nurkic balls out and makes us a real legit threat..

Myers is trash
The rookie Cac is trash
"My name Mary and ima smoka" aka Trash Turner is trash
:stopitslime:

Plumlee goin want too much..
I know that's why we traded him..
If we had him and Nurkic instead of Myers Trash....:banderas:

honestly he's a decent big that we could probably bring back for the vet min.....

He's still young enough, that if he balls out, he'll definitely get paid next season

T-Rob can run out the gym and grab boards. Many teams will value that in a 1st or 2nd big of the bench. Burke is a score-first PG who isn't good at that lol

T-Rob has been working out for teams at least. He's been worked out with the Celtics and the Wolves. A lot of bigs will get chances, just because they've produced on some level and because of their size. Sullinger's been overweight for years, and he finessed the Raps out of $5 mil last year and he just worked out with the Nets.

I don't know if Burke will get interest from anyone. It's pretty late, most teams in Europe and China have signed their import players already. He might have to go to the G-League.
