lovely sarcasm is the best sarcasm...at least it is since Mad Magazine went under

Here we go!!!!

Already? Dude just got healthy.

 

[Eastoff]

Already? Dude just got healthy.

I believe you mean he was just uninjured. But he reverted to normal, injured

 

[Phatguysrule]

Already? Dude just got healthy.

This can happen sometimes when you're ramping back up.

I'm hoping he's doing some serious "knees over toes" exercises to keep all of these muscle groups balanced.

Time to trade Williams for a 2nd and a Subway gift card or something -- maybe slightly overreacting but damn already hurt and just training camp.

This injury will probably linger for a long time, then something else will happen and they'll have to shut him down for an even longer time. And then blammo, the next thing you know it's draftsmas eve and we're giddy over getting Cooper.

Is it just me but does this year seem even worse (hard to fathom) than recent years in getting news about training camp? Seems like they don't give a shit about getting and keeping fans interested, sorta mind boggling

Everyone knows they are trying to lose.

Hard disagree on most of that. Not every player needs to provide much on offense. most champion teams have one guy in starting lineup that does the little things and provides little offense.
Its about a balanced roster and him bringing the little things that make it all work.

Those championship level poor offensive players are usually monsters in other areas, Draymond Green with D and playmaking, Tony Allen locking down the other end, DPOY Ben Wallace, Dennis Rodman with all sorts of intangibles.

Jabari is never going to fit into any of those roles.

 

[Driew]

Everyone knows they are trying to lose.

And we better be tanking especially if we tanked last year for a crappy draft class.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Here we go!!!!

Here we go!

Yeah it always seemed nuts to me those Blazer fans complaining about RWIII potentially taking away somebody's minutes this year..... Would be happy to have 10 games in a row he's actually taking anyone's minutes.

 

[Cugel]

Huge mistake to not deal him. Come on Joe. Stuck with him now.

 

[Natebishop3]

RWIII and Malcolm should have both been flipped immediately.

I'm ok with us gambling we could flip RWIII for more, that gamble didn't work, and we got stuck with him a few years.

But that's not the Blazers main problem, the problem isnt holding onto ONE vet player - one is fine.

The problem is we're holding onto FIVE mediocre vet players that make no sense with this franchise long term: Grant/Ant/Ayton/RWIII/Thybulle

[James lamphear]

Here we go!!!!

This guy is injured prone

 

[handiman]

This guy is injured prone

True, RWIII probably would get injured just laying down.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Grade 1 is pretty mild. They could be extra careful because of his history.

 

[wizenheimer]

Already? Dude just got healthy.

lol....has there ever been more predictable Blazer news....other than Olshey gaslighting Blazer fans, obviously

 

[THE HCP]

And we better be tanking especially if we tanked last year for a crappy draft class.

And LAST years was the worst in 25 years, baffled me the few on here that would defend it to their death….. totally understand why people are pumped for the tank this season though.

 

[THE HCP]

Heeeeeere we go

Heeeeeere we go

Give me an “F”!
Give me a “U”!
Give me a “C”!
Give me a “K”!

What does it spell? “Flagg!”

 

[RR7]

I'm totally fine with tanking. But usually the fun part of tanking seasons is getting to watch your young guys figure things out on the court. Tanking sucks if you watch G-League scrubs play all year because your young guys are injured.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Damn looks like this is what shaedon sharpe story will become fuck

 

[TBpup]

I think Ant has grown 2-3”.

And put on 15lbs of muscle...

Mike Barrett......is that you?

And we better be tanking especially if we tanked last year for a crappy draft class.

If there is any year to tank, this is the one. Williams and Sharpe already out. Plan Craptankathon is a go.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Heeeeeere we go

Is this the same shoulder he hurt at rookie summer league?
