Although important, there's more to the game than just scoring.... Love is a good scorer. He likes the 'big' shots and I'd trust him to make those. However, in the other parts of his game - he makes more mistakes than not. I see the flicker of potential in Rupert that the Blazers do...

Unlikely. A Deni extension (while he's under contract) would have to be based on the amount of his last year currently under contract [or the MLE amount]. Since it's not a rookie extension, Portland would be limited to 140% of that salary. For quick numbers, the first year salary of the...

Sidy was at least passable as an NBA talent. Not sure I could say the same for Cooke, Love, or Rupert.

Incorrect. Portland is only limited in what they offer in an extension (while he's still under contract) Once he hits FA, Portland will be able to offer more than any other team... but that will likely be immaterial since I don't see Deni being a max contract type player. But regardless...

ONLY fans... 🤮

Disagree that we haven't seen the 10-man rotation... Blazers are only ~8 players deep with playable NBA talent. (Holiday, Grant, Deni, Scoot, Sharpe, Clingan, Hansen, Camara) On IR -> Dame, Rob, & Thybulle Should be 14th/15th man or 2-way talents -> Murray, Wesley, Sidy Not NBA talent ->...

How? Blazers only played 4 games total.

For me it breaks down like this: Having Ant means no Holiday... I think Holiday will contribute more to wins than Ant, so NO. I think Holiday's impact will be ~ +3 games Ayton may have allowed Blazers to win 2-3 more games than we will without him. The net impact of not having those two is...

This team isn't very deep. We have 8 good NBA players. 3 on the IR (Dame, Rob, Thybulle) And 2 who should not be on a NBA roster (Rupert & Reath) 2 who should be 14/15 type bench players that should NOT be getting minutes... but they will (Murray & Wesley) [Im still trying to decide if...

Translation: Cherngs bought RAJ off to drop the suit. I wonder how expensive it was for them... I guess an alternative option is RAJ figured out that they had no case... Either way, good news that there's more clarity on the path forward.

Just check out that shooting percentage of his two games... He's shooting a record percentage from 3.

Yeah - you're wrong here. A 5-year deal would be 5 additional years (so 6 total). Sharpe would be under contract until June '31 Just look at Jabari Smith's deal as a template https://www.spotrac.com/nba/player/_/id/78109/jabari-smith-jr

39-43 10th Seed. Win the first play-in game (9 v 10), but loose the second (7/8 v 9/10). Jump in the lotto standings for a top pick.

Doesn't matter. After the first page - threads take a life of their own and are rarely about what the subject line says.

I think it really depends on what type and how much conversation Cherngs had with Dundon prior to that August 13th announcement. That was when Dundon's offer was accepted & his Due Diligence period began. After that 8/13 date, there was no practical way RAJ was going to get the team unless...
