I do too, but his salary is the issue. After this year, 46, 50, and 53 million. I agree he is an upgrade over Grant, and can play back-up center, to create minutes for Tou..........but we do need to give Deni a raise. I would probably do it, though.......and move Jrue for an ending contract.

To the eventual champions? Yeah, not good, but certainly not anything to be embarrassed about. But, inevitably, those who support teams that get beaten by the Ducks will be quick to point it out. I mean, what else can they talk about....baseball and gymnastics?

I do not see those two being a problem. Dame can complement him easily, much like Love does. Jrue can be like a 2nd SG along with Sharpe. (both next to Deni) My question is, how will it work with Scoot? He worked hard on his 3pt shooting this summer, so over time, I think they can play...

Yeah, Eason can go fuck himself. He gave zero respect to Deni. Maybe he was trying to get some calls on Friday by saying that, but more than likely it will backfire on him.

I have been pleasantly surprised by watching Williams and Hans playing together lately. Not saying they have been kicking ass, but it has not seemed to have hurt the team. Obviously, it is being done out of desperation with all of the injuries, but if Yang gets the 3-ball down much like Clingan...

Absolutely. Not only the fouls, but the traveling call too. Yes, he technically did travel, but this is the NBA.....they travel....... a lot. He got the rookie treatment from the refs.

Sounds like I was speaking for you as well. That is pretty much what I said.

I will probably regret this as they will probably catch fire tomorrow, but the two forwards we coveted most from Houston in trade scenarios...... went 7-31. I can see why there is love for Eason.....he still played well, but I think Sharpe will have a brighter future than Jabari Smith from that...

That was a pretty physical game. Tou and Sidy both fouled out. We could really use Murray on Friday. Deni was able to get to the line for the Blazers, and SS to some extent, but I felt that Houston fouled a lot more than that. They foul a lot on the perimeter and get away with it.

Yeah, way too soon to write him off. And this is coming from one of the biggest cheerleaders for Cedric Coward before the draft. We have no clue yet about how much Yang will improve. Some centers take a while to develop physically. Look how much Clingan has progressed this year on offense. I...

Yeah, we knew he was overpaid, but I don't think he was a bust. The two years he was here, he still averaged a double-double while shooting almost 60% from 2pt range. His defense is not great, but he is still good enough that he will have a 15-year career in the NBA.

Anyone with a subscription? What are the details? https://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/2026/01/trail-blazers-gear-up-for-legislative-ask-that-would-guarantee-teams-future-in-portland-bill-oram.html

Well, if Jokic were a Blazer, I would say he would still be injured by that time. Nonetheless, I could still see him skipping it.

Odd to be 2nd in OR and 24th in DR. Seems like the disparity should be closer.

Yep, the matching salaries make it tough. Unless, as you mentioned, they include Moody. A Steph, Jimmy, Grant, Green, and Post starting unit would be an improvement for them, though. If I were GS, I would do it.
