Clingan is already so much better than Ayton

Sharpe looks utterly broken

NBA officiating is such a pathetic joke.

Yeah if I'm Dundon I'm not clinging to any of the old guard upstairs that's been around for the last few years of toxicity. Hopefully he's clinging to Clingan though! That dude is legit!

Rupert is now in his 3rd season... anyone see a future in the league for him?

Favor to his agent maybe? Idk, that's all I got.

League average is 36%, so objectively it is below average. Portland as a team shot 34.2% last year, which is 26th best. And they just lost their most prolific 3 point shooting threat. I have no faith in a checked out Grant to rebound back to his outlierish 2022-24 numbers either. Or rebound at...

Matisse only played 15 games last year and he's a career 34% three point shooter. I think looking to him to provide shooting stability is a big, big gamble. Ant's one virtue was that he was our most reliable three point shooter overall and the only guy who could somewhat consistently knock...

Banton played 17 mpg for us last year and is now gone. Murray was a fringe rotation guy for us as well and frankly doesn't deserve to sniff the floor for us next year if he can't hit the broadside of a barn. There's minutes to go around. I'm not sure how anyone can disagree that Cronin needs...

As it stands right now this has to be the worst shooting roster in the NBA, right? If Cronin does nothing the rest of the summer to address that obvious need then that's another notch on his "I'm a big fat stinky turd of a GM" belt.

Does anyone else find it pretty ironic that John Nash and Steve Patterson were brought in to clean up Portland's Jail Blazer image, and one of the very first guys they draft ends up being the only one to actually do prison time?

I think at the very least it implies that he didn't have a big, tangible impact on our performance last season. 42 games is a significant sample size without him.

His fashion game is a lot like SGA! If only his actual game was too.

I agree, but on the flip side you could argue that: 1. Holiday even with his injuries was clearly still a better/more impactful player than Simons last year and likely will still be better this season as well. 2. We were 19-23 without Ayton last year... and 17-23 with him. Addition by...

Watford or Reath maybe?
