Do you honestly believe that this Blazer team has the potential to make a serious playoff run if they go all out the rest of the way?

Do you honestly believe the Blazers will be considered a favorite to win the Western Conference next season?
 
Dame and Nurk out for the season to rest. We are tanking.

A favorite? No. But have a chance if they have a decent offseason? Perhaps. Definitely a much better chance at being dangerous next year than this one.

this is egregious.

i know we did this similarly in 2012 and 2013. Just hope we don't anger the Lottery Gods.

Then again, there is nothing sacred about this sorta stuff anymore, so who cares?

I hope we anger them the way the Spurs angered them when they kept Robinson out. Jabari Smith here we come!

Call it what you like, the Blazer organization is effectively “throwing” the rest of the season.

so fukkin what, they are using their brains/commom sense, realizing that a lotto pick only accelerates the rebuild/retool a helluva lot more that a playin game or another first round blowout and no lotto pick - get a friggin clue!

OKC benched SGA last year. The only way to clinch the tank is to bench Simon. He’s already proven himself. Picks worth more than awards.

Nurk is the SGA equivalent. An established guy who will gain very little from 25 games in a lost season.

Simons, meanwhile, still has only been the featured guy for about a month and half. It would behoove the team to have him get his reps right now. And all the while have him build a legit relationship with Chauncey.

And besides, Simons himself is far less likely to agree to sit out while on the precipice of a massive deal that could reach a max if he continues his current trajectory.
 
I'll admit, this does have the appearance of a tanking decision

But as somebody who has personally dealt with plantar fasciitis I can testify that is no joke. It can be severe and extremely painful. More than that it is unpredictable; you can be doing just fine for months and wake up one morning nearly unable to walk. The only solution, short of surgery, is mild stretching and rest. Stay off the foot
 
Is this the front office executing the Tank, or a result of Nurk playing more minutes than he ever has. Either way, the Draft pick watch is back on.

i too dealt with this earlier, and it stemmed off a bone spur. Painful as hell, but it wasn't as idiosyncratic for me and I knew exactly my limits before reaching my pain threshold.

But the timing of all this announcement is suspicious, especially when you consider Eubanks was already contacted last week and Watford knew about the contract over the weekend. And the 4+ weeks note is damning for me. If real, I think they woulda listed it as "indefinitely."

yeah, I know it's a bit suspicious. Just wanted to tell people that the condition can really set somebody back (but not on their heels!)

Blevins should see zero minutes the rest of the season and start looking into another career lol. Maybe they can put him in the video room or something.

Isn't that where they put Chauncey's brother? They are calling him an assistant but not sure what Rodney Billups does?
 
Interesting repost. Dunno who that is but Nurk follows him

Sure.
Dude has not played a full season yet and to this point for the Blazers has broken two legs, a wrist and now has foot problems.
You give this guy more than 10 million a year for 4 years you will look stupid for sure.

Comes and goes without warning. Worse for people who are heavy.
