Evan also told me to watch for Brown to Utah... so he's already 0/1 on his DMs.
I remember Evan Sidery from the time he was trying to be "insider" for the Colts in the NFL(my team in the NFL). Don't quote me on this but AFAIR he wasn't thought of as particularly reliable at the time. Then he transitioned into NBA reporting... no idea how reliable he is there. I've seen people quoting him on reddit NBA but it feels more like some aggregated news rather than original reporting for the most part. I honestly wouldn't take what he's saying as anything of substance, unless he's aggregating a legit reporter...

Zero reliability is what I have always assumed lol. I do like that he messages me unsolicited tho lol. We will see
 
It;s funny to listen to the reactions to the Yang pick. EVeryone is calling him a huge project. I saw the dude outplay every center at the combine. He's not that big of a project.
Its a wild fit though. I wonder if there is some marketing reasons they wanted him. I think it was a reach but they did get a nice premium for moving back.

I mean, I wanted Yang here with Walker. I think it's a nice mix of offense/defense with Clingan/Yang then you figure out which player works best for whatever it is you end up building.

Blazers still dont have their "engine" type of player on offense, so maybe Yang develops into that and you have all these athletic wings/guards around him. Or maybe Scoot develops and he's a nasty PNR player with Clingan.
 
I don't expect a trade and that's fine, but if we ended up with Thiero or Penda it would give me hope that the FO actually values defense/IQ.
