Yeah that was a pretty huge game for Scoot. You cant accidentally have a great playoff game, or say the opponent had some excuse, etc. I'm starting to believe he's just clearly a much better piece for our team long term than Sharpe.

I never had anything strongly against just Jody. But she had no involvement with the team, no desire to. She let Kolde run it who yes was horrible. Although much of that fault was Paul.

How was offering half the price "doing everything possible?" The league didn't reach out to anyone. Tons of groups bid on the Blazers and Dundon offer was the highest.

Same - yeah I was always kind of wondering what CJ Blazers career would have been like without Dame. No doubt Dame was better - but if they had a great two way forward on the team and built the offense around CJ the team might have been quite a bit better.

Yes it is sad for the people that have these jobs. I enjoyed Casey podcast, especially the old one he did with Joe Freeman. But I can see why a new owner might question how this job directly contributes to the team winning. We might see some massive changes on the business side of the Blazers.

I'm hoping we just keep all the picks - will be great in the 2027-28 season to know we have the best unprotected pick of ours, Bucks, and Magic. Then following year we have the best of ours, Bucks, or Celtics - again unprotected.

So at the draft the Blazers will have all of these FRP available to trade; 2027 PDX 2028 PDX or MIL (best unprotected) 2028 ORL (unprotected) 2029 PDX or MIL or BOS (best unprotected) 2029 PDX or MIL or BOS (worst) 2030 PDX or MIL (best unprotected) 2031 PDX 2032 PDX 2033 PDX So thats 9 total...

I'm still super glad that Dundon is an owner and that Jody sold. Bert Kolde was horrific. These types of moves mimic what Dundon did with the Hurricanes. He ruffled a lot of feathers and cut many costs that really upset some hardcore fans. Seems he wants every dollar to support winning or its...

Spurs, cheap and won a lot. Thunder have been very cheap too. Both franchises might have the best future in the NBA. Heat were on the cheaper end. Pacers have been probably the cheapest franchise in the NBA for decades and in game 7 of the finals last year.

Those actually seem pretty similar to me. NHL is certainly less but it's within a decade of NBA values. Think of it NHL today = NBA 2016 Ultimately I don't think the cost cutting will really matter one way or the other. The main thing will be if the team makes good long term strategic roster...

Article right on main ESPN page detailing cost cutting, interesting. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48542312/blazers-not-furnishing-fans-t-shirts-invites-cash-questions

Well guess I'm getting a spot on Dundon island fan club - I seem to be one of the only ones that likes what I've heard from him, from Canes fans, and have no problem with the cheap coach search/2 way actions. I get why many fans here don't like him. Personally I don't care about those things...

Yes - I do. The max contracts are all the same % of the cap as years ago. If Deni is an all-star level player any and all owners would pay to resign him. Especially when under 30.

I was thinking if the Blazers somehow win 2 of the first 5 games and force a game 6 - then Dame comes back in game 6. No, he wouldn't come back in game 3 or.4 regardless of the results.

I think Dame comes back if we win two games. He'd make his debut at the Rose Garden and be in a position to push the series to a game 7. I don't think hes going to play a minute before then though. He doesn't want to play just to be part of a sweep.
