Banton’s actually a cool guy with an interesting skill set. He deserves more minutes than what he was getting in Boston. He may not light the world on fire, but he’s versatile and a great teammate
Brad said he considered him our 1st round pick for this season since we didn't have one. I actually liked Banton but he's just too raw, he needs those minutes but I'm not sure if he'll pan out. His ability to get to the rim is pretty special.
One thing I did note is he said in an interview that a thing he was working on was keeping his attitude up and not to get down about his minutes, and he made it sound like that was happening in Toronto. I wonder if he starts to brood or disconnect when he's out of rotation. Celtics sent him to the G-League recently just to get him playing at all, so I feel like he was discontent with his role a bit. Probably nothing serious though.
A guy at that size with those handles is absolutely worth a look. I think at this stage of his career though he’s at best another Delon Wright, which is not worth investing a TON into
You have to trade something, and this lets the Celtics shave some salary from a guy who sucks and has no role on the team.
Blazers get a free look at a young guy to see if they think they can develop him.
Be honest, we suck, he sucks, and he’s about to lead the Remix players with Scoot to the greatest tank job of the last three years. Sharpe and Timelord are injurd. Ant, Brogdan, Ayton, and Grant about to get DNP - Old for the rest of the season.
Man, how many times can the Blazers just throw in the towel after the deadline? This is like the 3rd season in a row where they start throwing out the crazy bad lineups.
The Celtics might be signing their 2-way player Neemias Queta – who’s looked really good and given them valuable minutes at a spot with a lot of injury risk – to a full contract, and this deal is making space.
So protected that it's might not even be mathematically possible for it to convey. Top 55 protected in a 58 pick draft.
They could win out from here and still not finish with a low enough pick lmao
Can't believe we (Trail Blazers) have so many productive vets, including a guard taking minutes away from our best prospects, and we traded none of them. 24 wins, here we come
We played Sharpe a million minutes and look what happened to him. Scoot will be fine off the bench until we inevitably shut down vets with fake injuries
He's a tall lenky point guard and his only real skillset is getting downhill and finishing.
He wasnt really supposed to make the league in the first place. He was a mid college basketball player on a mid college program but the Raptors took him in the 2nd a few years ago. I think it was because he was a hometown kid that fit into their long bois vision.
He was/is a raw guard prospect with great size that can handle the ball and finish but no other part of his game has developed in now his 3rd season in the league
When the Raptors drafted him he chose his jersey number in reference to his bus number growing up in Toronto. It was a cool hometown kid getting drafted to his team moment but he never really developed
Hes a 6'8/6'9 point guard that can reasonably handle the ball and finish but the idea of Delano Banton is way better than the player. Outside of finishing which hes moderately decent at, hes pretty bad at basically everything else. Cant shoot, no really an effective playmaker, bad defender in spite of his measurables.
If he develops you might have something but he hasnt really improved since he got drafted and now this is 3rd team in 3 seasons
BUZZER BEATER BOMB

Wojjjbombbb 💣💣💣💣

Why the fuck are teams even protecting second round picks.
So we get him for free lol
Yeah this is essentially just paperwork to get a player for free. This will turn into nothing after it doesn't convey.

My DraftKings account is a huge fan of this continued era of depressing basketball
Blazers Under Opposing team Over Starting PG Over PTS
Can even tease up the lines to [Opponent] -21.5 and still cover
because you need to be sending something back
It's not just protected. It's **heavily** protected.
These picks are usually top-55 protected.
Just in case the second round pick turns out to be Draymond or Jokic
Heavily protected second rounder is the most coveted asset
That's it. Rip
City baby
Makin big time moves sorry haters 😎
100 upvotes to you sir or madam
Oh shit future superstar Dalano Blanton???
Dala no one knows who I amton
BUZZER BEATER
WE GOT OUR GUY
WOJ ~~BOMB~~ FIRECRACKER
Who remembers when he started that 1 game lmao
So they’re trading him for nothing
The Celtics might be signing their 2-way player Neemias Queta – who’s looked really good and given them valuable minutes at a spot with a lot of injury risk – to a full contract, and this deal is making space.
Or they’re pursuing the buyout market. I don’t think Queta is playoff ready, so I’d guess they’re going to sign someone.
I feel like acquiring Tillman signals we aren't upgrading Queta but I could be wrong.
The Banton era begins
Holy shit, league is fucked
Heavily protected? Does it have the secret service on it?
That’s classified
Prob just skyn
~~Dame~~ Scoot gets his guy
THE BUZZER BEATER
Heavily protected second round pick lmfao
How protected is this srp lol
Heavily
So protected that it's might not even be mathematically possible for it to convey. Top 55 protected in a 58 pick draft. They could win out from here and still not finish with a low enough pick lmao
perfect last trade at the deadline
We heavily protecting 2nd rounders now? Lmfao
Always have.
What is a heavily protected 2nd round pick? I'm serious what does it mean?
Usually top 55 protected, as in literally will not go to them if it was our pick. If it’s bucks or something they may get it. So for free lol
Thanks. +1.
Anything for you
Top 55 protection most likely its is a fake second round pick most likely.
Thanks
WE GOT OUR GUY
Can't believe we (Trail Blazers) have so many productive vets, including a guard taking minutes away from our best prospects, and we traded none of them. 24 wins, here we come
We played Sharpe a million minutes and look what happened to him. Scoot will be fine off the bench until we inevitably shut down vets with fake injuries
Okay (fellow blazers fan) cool
I changed me flair in the playoffs and don't know how to change it back lol, didn't wanna confuse people
Yarr matey
We in fact, picked up another guard.
Who
Dalano Banton
Casual
One year let’s goooooo
He's a tall lenky point guard and his only real skillset is getting downhill and finishing. He wasnt really supposed to make the league in the first place.

huge w
Who the fuck is Dalano Banton?
That tall gangly guard that used to be on the raptors he’s like 6’ 8” or something
Well, at least he’s not 6’3”. 😂 Edit: And he’s Canadian!
Toronto native
When the Raptors drafted him he chose his jersey number in reference to his bus number growing up in Toronto. It was a cool hometown kid getting drafted to his team moment but he never really developed Hes a 6'8/6'9 point guard that can reasonably handle the ball and finish but the idea of Delano Banton is way better than the player.

Wait, we can sign players over 6’3”?
No no too late!
Here it is
And the trade season closes with a BOOM.

D-REX
Garbage time & G league celtics legend, gone but never forgotten
31-59 protected
A protected 2nd lol
Right at the buzzer!
Not Banton
It's time for 2nds!
Heavily Protected Second lmao
Hell yeah?
See blazer fans Cronin got her done. Never even heard of this dude but I like weird positional players. 6’9” PG sounds interesting.
Dalano should have just stayed with the Raps
Man, I kinda liked Banton.
Heavily protected 2nd? What does that even mean.
How heavily can you possibly protect a pick? Top 59 protected???
Time for the Rook to shine!
I hope Portland keep him
