"This guy got too good, and we need to be bad"... nailed it Craig!
That was a stupid thing to say
Dumbest take I ever heard Deni is a good bench player thats it he is not a game changer 2years from now he will be getting traded to somebody else’s bench 😅😅
@@nuvisionstudios2936 Bookmarked this comment, will get back to you end of next year you'll eat your words how well deni is doing on the blazers 🤣🤣
@@STSMARIOas a Blazers fan I had to agree emphatically with your take. Dumb as heck‼️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He’s so good he would stop us from being as bad as we needed to be.
The guy who averaged 6, 8 and 9 his first 3 years with ample playing time.
And his BREAKOUT SEASON in his 4th year was 14ppg…
That’s the guy who’s so good we wouldn’t be able to be a bad team with him.. ok
People who didn't watch the Wizards games last season, won't understand how amazing what Avdia did with this team. To play next to Jordan Pool and Kyle Kuzma, and still be so efficient and good in many aspects of the game, and to improve in every aspect of the game, it's just amazing! Blazers fans, you are going to have fun!
I'm shocked Deni was available considering what he showed in the second half of last season. Regarding the player development timeline, he's entering his fifth season and still younger than Dalton Knecht. I liked this draft for the Wizards, but the Avdija decision was confusing.
He's actually not younger than Dalton Knecht. Some idiot on twitter said this and many, many people shared this bit of misinformation as a result. Goes to show you how easy it is to spread bullshit.
The Blazers will take Deni happily. And will still battle your bad team for the worst record next season! Go Blazers! Love Brogdon. Great person.
It's a race to capture the flag go blazers Deni and flagg that would be fun to watch
Gonna say Brogdon won us zero games too 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Worst record next season? You're wrong.
I'm with you 💯%!
Go #TrailBlazers🤍🖤♥️
@@justinah7400 did you watch scoot Henderson last year 🥲😅
loved Deni’s fire. He will do good in Portland but I imagine it will be a challenge with his temperament.. The Wiz are on a different path now. I hope it becomes Bubs team!!
The system is a fraud. We are the farm team to the NBA. The Nats are flowing suites since the championship
I honestly feel like they traded Deni thinking Zacharrie was gonna be the pick
Traded the only high IQ player for a bunch of high risk low reward gambles, for gods sake.
Deni's much better than Bilal, it's not even close, Deni is very young, Deni is not in the same position as Sarr. No logic in trading Deni.
Actually it is very close, and Deni’s had a 4 year head start. Deni and Sarr are both best at the 4. Also, Deni’s basketball IQ isn’t any higher than Bilal’s. He just handled the ball more. Also, you didn’t mention contract timelines, which is the main driver of this deal. So uh. Yeah man. That’s like a golden sombrero of a CZcams comment lmao
@@craighoffman Deni’s basketball IQ isn’t any higher than Bilal’s? Deni avg 30 mpg, Bilal 27, not a huge difference, Deni with 3.8 assists per game, Bilal 1.7, Deni's ast to turnover ratio is 0.55, Bilal 0.82 (lower is better), Deni's potential assists 7.2, Bilal 3.1, Deni's Ast pts created 9.4, Bilal 4.4, I can go on and on, Deni's stats are superior to Bilal and that's before we talk about how Deni led the league in affecting points created in transition, your "he handled the ball more" sound like an excuse to justify your opinion, he handled the ball more because he has an higher basketball IQ so the team played with him as the secondary PG and sometimes 1st, if Bilal's IQ is exactly the same why they didn't let Bilal run the offense? because that for almost every assist he makes he also make a turnover, seriously, you talk like you never watched these two players play.
You compared a guy In his 4th year to literally the youngest player in the league last year lol
Now compare literally any of Deni’s 1st 3 seasons to Bilal’s one.
We have the dumbest fan base in the league 😂
@@tone3587 Did you "literally" compare Deni's 1st season to Bilal's? they "literally" had about the same stats when you account for minutes per game and Deni was also 19 years old in his rookie season.
@@E_y_a_l and one Bilal improves more than minimally this season and then again next season, unlike Deni, then what will the excuse be..?
Just lmk now so I can ready myself
Better result than the Beal trade (which was still absolutely necessary). Brogdon isn’t Canton-bound like Chris Paul was. We had no choice but to flip Paul, he would have sat the entire year if we didn’t. Brogdon can’t just demand out, and we can flip him at will. We could get some minutes from him and pump his trade value for a couple seconds.
Brogdon might honestly be worth a first from a contender come the deadline, we'll just have to wait and see
@@liamcoulter9627 A first? I won’t expect that, but I would LOVE that.
As a Blazers fan myself, I think you guys may have some trouble flipping Brogdan for anything of real value. From the outside looking in, it seems like the trade market for him is very dry.
@@LunaticTheCat Great. Then we keep him on his expiring deal. He’s a JAG who will play some games for us and help our youth. Either way, we win (the scenario, not the games).
It’s more likely all 3 of their picks this year are misses.
ok, trade him, but why did we get so little back? Why not a 2025 or 2026 first round pick instead of the 2029?
We got 2FRP and Brogdan who we can flip for another first round pick. And 2 2nds. That’s a lot. Dejounte only got two first and some bad role players.
He’s still deni I guess
Brogdon is worth a first and maybe more from many different teams come this trade deadline, and he can be a good mentor for the young guards we have like Bub
Because the other team is allowed to say no lmao
Maybe… just maybe it’s because other NBA teams actually see Deni as the average young role player that he is.
"...3&d wings like Deni...". After 4 years you still tag him as 3&d wing? Unfortunately, you guys are going nowhere...
Huh?
lol wtf do you think he is?
He’s barely the 3 or D in 3&D
He damn sure isn’t a player who creates his own offense. Hes a run of the mill role player
@@craighoffman Huh what? czcams.com/video/B13r4-D-DbQ/video.html. He's not a "3&D wing". And that's coming from a "Wizard insider".... He's a point forward. If you don't know what a point forward is - look it up.
@@tone3587 He's a POINT FORWARD. He's not a 3, he's more of a 4. He's not a shooter, he's a slasher. You want a player that "Creates his own offense" ? Use Poole or Kuzma.
@gils151 he said it as a compliment. He's clearly more than JUST 3&D, but his best usage is primarily in that role. Josh has been covering the league a long time. He was the 2nd or 3rd best player on a team that won 15 games. Stanning him is weird
if Deni had any since he would tell Portland to kick rocks trade me to Dallas, were he could be a big part in winning rings
First of all.. "since"? U automatically lose
credibility due to the fact that you can't even spell the word "sense"‼️🤡
This reeks of Deni asking for a trade. He didn’t want to be here after his representation knew that Coulibaly is the future at SF.
Deni didn't ask for a trade, they backstabbed him the guy is heartbroken. The only player who actually wanted to stay.
If all they really wanted was #14 pick they would have gotten it sending kuzma .
That's bs
@@modax0 you’re still here crying 😂 I see you on blazers pages talking down on wiz but still watching wiz channels 🤣🤣
@@thesunofgod.
Tf you talking about, no one is crying here
Wizards will forever stay a dumpster
@@modax0 Blazers don't want kuzma
@@thesunofgod.Bro's feeling is really hurt 😂 just stay in the Blazer world
Blazer fans think they won the trade.... Ummmm no. Portland's GM pushed his terrible team into the luxury tax, and had to give the Wizards 2 first round picks and a solid player. The Blazers owner just wants money.
Umm.. they actually saved money with this deal?? Also 14 in a bad draft and mid at best 1st 5 years from now is cheap af for a 22 year old do everything SF bro.
Agree with @jtthomas7349. We got under the luxury tax with this trade. We needed a playmaking wing who wasn’t a black hole to pair with Scoot and Shaedon. He fits perfectly for that.
We had 3 or 4 first round in 2029 and gave lower one not to bad
@user-qh1bn8tg3t The Blazers gave up the second best in 2029.
Get a new news source dude. The Blazers got under the tax with this trade and made it much easier to deal both Grant and Ant.
Why is everyone acting like Deni hasnt always been a diva and team cancer?
😂your aaaa not smart , not connected to this world. What an answer I feel bad for you that your brainless
for real?
Excuse me?
Because he hasn't... Ask Gil. Ask CP. Ask KK.
Even if Dani is bad there is a way to say it and say that on a player that have no reports or anyone from his team said on giving bad feeling to his teamats is wrong,so dont be a bully and use a word like a "cancer".
Wish you best day
