Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #52 - BLAZERS VS KINGS - FEB 6, 2024 - 7:00 PM - CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

Basically everyone is healthy at this moment but odds are someone will sit out at some point in not too long.

Also he can just be the 9th man as tonight, especially on B2B.

 

Yeah if Scoot is hurt he will definitely get minutes.

 

I always get confused with this Chicago pick. What’s the deal with it again?

 

Sacramento knew that. Just ahead of the Blazers.

 

They get it if we aren't in the lottery.

 

Was hoping to see a little Walker small ball. Clingan needs some time

 

Ayton certainly has more talent and quickness. Just so frustrating watching him not even attempt to defend for multiple plays every quarter. Yeah Clingan fumbles passes or makes mistakes at times too. Difference is Clingan is trying.

Ayton might be the most lazy NBA player I've ever seen.

 

So if we land between 15-30 than we don’t even have a 1st round pick this year?

 

Ayton and Sharpe are very similar in that you never know what you're going to get from game to game.

 

Correct.

 

So we wouldn’t even have a 1st in such a loaded draft?

 

My god that would be awful. And yet another reason for me to think Cronin sucks ass

 

it aint happening.

 

We make the playoffs Chicago gets it.

We're in the lottery we get it.

If we are still in the lottery in 2028 it becomes seconds.

At this point I'm all for just making the playoffs and sending them the pick. One bonus in that scenario is we guarantee to get the Bucks 2028 swap (we'd lose it if Chicago gets our 2028 pick)

 

Right, if for some reason we miss the playoffs every season from now through 2028 then the Bulls will get our second rounder and this Olshey made nightmare will be over.

 

Yep, the draft pick is a bummer, but if they could actually accomplish a run at the playin, that would be something. They have plenty of young guys. Just think of Rayan Rupert as our selection for next year. I think he'll be ready to be a rookie.
