The picks? The picks? They are close to having the fewest number of picks legally allowed in the next seven drafts. Here are their draft assets in the next seven drafts:
2024: #22
2025: Nothing
2026: Own 1st, worst of four due to three swap options
2027: Nothing
2028: Own 1st, worst of four due to three swap options, Boston's 2nd rounder if it is 46+
2029: Nothing
2030: Own 1st, worst of four due to three swap options
That's four firsts, almost certainly all in the 20s.
That's 0 or 1 second round picks (and it would be 46+ if they have one at all).
They have three players tying up $150M+ for the next two years, and one of them sucks and one of them is ollllllld and one of them has punch-me-face.
He'd be lucky to find 3 teams to swap with him, much less 26.

Ah, that might explain this somewhat mysteriously being leaked yesterday that other teams were “monitoring” the situation in Portland

Good move firing Vogel. Dude had how many tough, hard nosed forwards on his roster and continuously went to guard ball. I was shocked that Roddy got so little burn after the trade. He didn't know how to run a superteam style offense. Superteam guys sink or swim the team, and you fill it out with hustle guys. Will it be enough for a ring? Probably not, but congrats on getting Grayson Allen paid though. lol.
To be fair, the Sun’smain issue above all else was their absolute refusal to find the team an actual point guard and a big man who wasn’t immediately toast on defense. They got tricked into thinking Booker and Beal were good enough initiators to run an NBA offense but both guys are 2s at heart and Brad Beal sorta sucks now.
