Cronin might set a new NBA record for the amount of guards on a NBA roster.

I can’t match his position. I can go above my monitor or I can go lower. But mine is as central as it can be.

 

[AquaXI]

We just need to add Herro and we got it! Let's do this!

You lied in the first 20 seconds... EVERYONE IS A LIAR!!!!

...Or the podcast went longer than you anticipated.

I was trying to keep it to 30 minutes and then Larry just had to go and ask for my thoughts on summer league lol

My bad....

My bad....

Like I said, we could probably talk for 2 hours. It’s hard to turn it off when you have other things you want to talk about.

good job guys although I'm not sure why Nate's microphone is the size of a buick

one thing that was said about the Blazers being 11-12M below the tax....are you sure?

Yeah, I forgot to include the dead cap salaries, and I don't have them guaranteeing Williams salary, which they still might. They also still have some cap holds on there that I am not including because I think they will waive those. Sportrac is more technically correct. I'm projecting what I believe it will be....and needed to add in the Dead Cap numbers.

I didn't bother to add up all the salaries and dead salary. But If Spotrac is saying the Blazers have total taxable salaries only 1.7M below the line, that's probably pretty close

and does anybody think the Vulcans will allow Cronin to go into the tax for a 30 win team next season?

 

[HansenYang]

I thought one of the most interesting comments from Joe was that he inferred that Hart asked for a trade & Joe worked with him to accommodate him to a good situation.

Heck no. But regardless of the number, the point we were making still stands in relation to not having penalty ramifications if this drags out and Dame were somehow still on the roster.
IIRC, Sportrac is still including J. Williams contract, which is not fully guaranteed, and a cap hold for Justice Winslow. The also still have Kevin Knox listed and he is already re-signed with another team.

That's a good point. Didn't even think about that one.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Dame with a “light” injury.

That’ll lead to hashtag tight butthole.

nate has a face for radio and a voice for print.

otherwise, well done, FAMS!

So...

...you use the word podcast. Do you actually have a podcast feed or is this just going to be YouTube content that you call a podcast?

Do words just not have any meaning at all anymore?

the pod part of the word doesn’t even exist anymore so I guess the word podcast can just mean whatever

I think you are being generous with the 30 win season. we will see with the final roster.

Better ways to ask the same question ....

"Guys, with so much of the talk surrounding the team being about Dame's trade request right now, how do you balance the emotions of signing big contracts and helping secure your own future with what's being said nationally about the Blazers?"

"Jerami, Matisse, while this is a big day for both of you, obviously this stands to be a very different Blazer team in the upcoming season. How are you viewing what your role might be on the first Blazer team in 12 years without Damian Lillard?"

"Congratulations on the new contracts, fellas. Clearly, Blazer management felt you were guys it wanted here as it embarks on what figures to be a challenging season and a Portland team with a very different identity than it's had in a while. What would your response be to those who don't think it can compete consistently in the West, and how are you preparing for the season while all the talk about a Dame move is filling the papers and airwaves?"

Work in progress. Name, graphics, live stream, comments section, in stream video... all in the plans. Neither one of us is technically proficient in the lease, so we really appreciate @Sean.ivity who has helped and others who have offered help or provided suggestions.

Podcast is really just used these days as a generic term for anyone producing a talk-show outside of the platform of the mainstream media.
