Sheldon Wohlman of Utility Sports extensively covers the Portland Trail Blazers ahead of a jam-packed 2024 NBA offseason. Who could the Blazers look to sign in free agency? The Trail Blazers have four picks in the 2024 NBA Draft so who should they target? Matas Buzelis, Kel'el Ware, Dalton Knecht, Ron Holland, Donovan Clingan and Stephon Castle all make some sense in round one while later in the draft names like Baylor Scheierman, Adem Bona and Trentyn Flowers could all be tremendous. Would Portland ever consider trading away Anfernee Simons? Names like Malcolm Brogdon, Jerami Grant and Malcolm Brogdon all could be available. Leave a like and subscribe for more NBA Content!

I think Toumani Camara should be talked about as well. Obviously not a lot of attention placed on him this year but a very underrated get in that Ayton trade.

@JSPRKL Ай бұрын

Yeah PHO reportedly really wanted to keep him, but Portland would not budge...

@jetlifeporter23 Ай бұрын

yeah i didnt understand why he wasn't brought. definitely was a steal & is going to be a really good player for us

ya its p good. if u want deep deep knowledge and of the trail blazers. blazers uprise is best

@ThomasChristopherMassey Ай бұрын

I feel like the biggerst knock on BU is the lack of deep knowledge. I think he does an admirable job of filling 40 minutes - especially when he has a guest to riff with. Utility Sports is deep knowledge. Just this segment shows what a deeply learned fan he is of the NBA but also, how closely follows other NBA teams. I feel like he's a Mavericks fan - does pretty well staying objective evaluating other teams and their needs - which for the blazers are many!

Shaedon did not start out slow. Anfernee went down and Scoot was very bad to start, so early on Sharpe played huge minutes and looked great. He got a core injury in December and the played poorly until he was pulled and got season ending surgery.

Sorry, but 40.6/33.3 shooting splits isn’t quite “great”. He had a horrid stretch in November from the field. Still high on his talent, but we can call a spade a spade

@TheSadistNat1on Ай бұрын

@@UtilitySports ur not really understanding it tho, this is probably, 99% likely due to his core that would end up taking him out for the season and into surgery, thats how bad it was for him, so. if u want to know a lot of detail for ur own channel, watch blazers uprise!

I do understand how the injury affected him which is why I said that in the video

I like Holland if he’s there at 7. He has a chip on his shoulder and we need that. Go Blazers!!

@itsabadbadbadmovie4457 Ай бұрын

I think Sharpe did better than what it shows on paper. He did make an improvement this last season, his split was not great but that was due to a credit injury, and he was not playing in his true position so other players could not facilitate him effectively. Tonami as well played very well for his rookie season

I honestly think we have a chance of being the worst team in the league next season and I hope we are because Cooper Flagg should be the blazers #1 priority imo

Yeah man I’m really not a big fan for Grant on this team. He should not be playing 4 with those terrible rebounding numbers and I just think those mins would be better going to our young guys like Jabari Walker, Toumani Camara, Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert.

@xLeeroycranex 27 күн бұрын

Yeah, you're right. Cody Williams is a perfect fit and Portland should draft based on that and based on his potential as a two way wing. Clingan is good but probably not available considering Woj stated he is considered in the Top 3.

Would Love if you could cover the Detroit Pistons. They have the most cap space. Simone is a great fit, but need some NBA players on the roster. They like Jermi Grant, Tobias Harris, Brandon Ingram. Cade need some help. But a young core.

Wouldn't the Pistons be interested in trading for Grant? If we're interested in the 5th pick, I could see them asking for him.

Blazers have 4 draft picks, and "star players" that quit their season early. It's hard to forecast Portland improving, while unprofessional tanking is allowed

Using ESPN's Draft Simulator, here's the best pool of players landing at Blazers' picks, in order of liklihood: 7 - Knecht, Salaun, Buzelis, Clingan 14 - Edey, Da Silva, Holland 34 - Dunn, McCullar, Klintman, Smith 40 - Bona, Mogbo, Chomche, Ingram

I'd only be willing to make a move with Chicago only if we can get the protection off of our future picks. Cause the team still owes them a future pick to them from the idiotic Larry Nance trade. A guy that might be a good upside swing in the second round might be Ulrich Chomche. Very athletic and has really good length

Trade Brogdon and the #14 pick to the Rockets for #3. Then you will have the #3 and #7 pick.

@garybankston9319 Ай бұрын

@@grimlockthethrasher1 If Houston throws in Tate and Landale as salary filler, you can release them because their contracts are team option and open up about 15 million in cap space. That alone would warrant trading the 7th pick instead. You could almost go out and sign someone like Tyus Jones and be set at point guard for years. I just want Brogdan on Houston. They can make a good selection with the 14th pick and develop him.
