I’m really confused on what our plans for brogdon are. Few days after he arrives in portland, clipper trade rumors appear. Then, I see people wanting him gone but also people who think we should keep him.

Me personally I love Brogdon and I want to keep him but his shot selection has been throwing me off. I mean I understand that your young teammates are probably gonna miss the shot with 4 seconds left on the shot clock, but it doesn’t mean you should shoot with a defender right up your jersey (this happened quite a bit in the past few games). No hate to him though, he’s making me feel confident in this team.

For those who want to trade him, I have 3 questions. Why, When, and Who would we trade for/ who is involved in the trade.

Thoughts??

    It’s not binary. It’s not trade him this instant, or he has to be a Blazer until he retires.

    Right now POR has nothing going without him. Ant is out 4-6 weeks. Trade restrictions don’t lift for players that signed contracts until Dec 15 - Jan 15. That’s about 20-ish games 1/4 of the season.

    What does the entire landscape of the NBA look like two months from now? What else does or doesn’t happen in POR over the next couple of months.

    I want to keep him but I’ll make a case for why not. Brogdon is an expert smokescreener and doesn’t want to be here.

    The President is a consummate professional, but he was traded for to eventually be flipped for more assets. It’s all about keeping him healthy and valuable for whichever fringe contender who comes knocking.
