The Kings game was brutal. At the beginning, the sound was off by miles from the video even if you could watch it.

Yang - much more skilled on offense DC - better at defense NEITHER of them seems very good defensively in space or out on the perimeter and both pick up a lot of dumb, ticky-tacky (rookie type) fouls. Both need work on their conditioning as is to be expected with players that young and of that...

I'm guessing it is less than 50/50 that Giannis is with the Bucks by the start of next season, as as mention in the above video, the Blazers do hold some leverage with either themselves or whatever team ends up making a deal. The Blazers could do it with Grant/'Tisse/Scoot and then it would...

My understanding is it is an agreement with the sale and with the league which has to grant approval by the board of governors and a move would also have to be approved by those who approve the agreement.

I believe it is a condition of the sale that the Blazers remain in Portland.

Dirt & Sprague: now from 6-10 a.m. Marnang & New Guy: now 10 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Ducks Insider: 1-2 Happy Hour w/Luke Anderson: 2-3 PrimeTime: Still 3-7

Credit where credit is due: Rayan Rupert Rayan only played 3 games and had one 'stinker', but overall, shot .625 from the field, .700 from '3', and .857 from the FT line. He is the leading rebounder at 5.8 rpg and added 2.8 assists and 1 steal per game. He was aggressive in games #1 and #3...

He may be able to learn to mix it up, but his foot speed on the perimeter gets horribly exposed every time he is away from the paint. He is going to have to learn positioning and angles because when he is out in space, it has been very unfortunate so far.

That is a LOT to rehab. That is why I question, if they were going to spend the money, sign Dame to the Vet Min, bring him home, he will still get tons of money, and then sign a player that can additionally help. He has an opt-out as soon as he isn't making $70,000,000 per season. I don't...

Love is shooting around 33% through 4 games. Better from '3', but this is a continuation of his college career....quite inefficient.

Dame gets $106,000,000 for the next to years from the Bucks and now $14,000,000 from the Blazers for the next two years, one of which will be to rehab? Not a bad gig if you can get it. That is why I don't understand why they paid Dame the full MLE instead of the Vet Min. They could have...

:breakdance::smiley-jumping:

It's not for long, and there aren't many of them, but I can't think of one that has aged well.

Not thrilled with the price. He is getting his full max deal from the Bucks and could have signed with the Blazers for the minimum and would still be getting all his money. Portland is reportedly already hard-capped. This is probably for the MLE and puts them in a worse cap space. I also...

Regardless of Marang's constant touting of KJ, I couldn't see where he was going to be able to create space or the threat of his own show to make the right pass he is supposedly good at. His athleticism didn't seem above average in college, let alone at the next level. He has some skills, but...
