Kind of weird. It appeared that he took the time to listen to the guy, but was not amused by what he said.

Fantastic loss! No losses are as important as to those who have worse records than we do.

I agree but every loss is very important because you never know when one of those teams with a worse record will win or lose either getting us closer to having a worse record than them or further away. Every game is a must lose from here on out but as you said especially because the vast majority of them are against teams with worse records or just slightly better records than ours.

nyone like Jalen smith for our LME or a bit more perhaps given how well he is playing

Not necessarily every loss. If we could prevent New Orleans from even qualifying for playin games, then we should try to win our two games against them.

LME? is that full-MLE?

my hunch is that the Blazers will not use their full-MLE this summer and will confine themselves to the tax-MLE. Otherwise they would be hard-capped and with over 30M in TPE's the Blazers just might break over the apron if they use their TPE's after re-signing Simons and Nurkic

that 21M TPE might end up incredibly valuable going into next season's trade deadline
