When was a Blazer on these teams, especially for multiple years?

Yes Thybulle is here now, but I can't think of a Blazer doing this.
 
Oh my gosh just looked it up... we might have some records for lack of good defensive players the last 3 decades.

2004 2nd team Theo Ratliff
2000 2nd team Scottie Pippen
1992 2nd team Buck Williams
1991 1st team Buck Williams
1990 1st team Buck Williams
1981 2nd Kermit Washington
1980 2nd Kermit Washington
1979 2nd Lionel Hollins & Maurice Lucas
1978 1st team Maurice Lucas & Bill Walton & Lionel Hollins - 2nd team Bob Gross
1977 1st team Bill Walton

not one in nearly 20 years? Damn…
 
There are a lot of teammates on the first team, but very few trio's as the Blazers did in 1978.
1996 Pippen, Jordan, Rodman (Bulls)
1983 Bobby Jones, Moses Malone, Maurice Cheecks (76ers)
1978 BLAZERS 1st team Maurice Lucas & Bill Walton & Lionel Hollins - 2nd team Bob Gross
1976 Paul Silas, Havlicek, Dave Cowens (Celtics)
1970 Dave DeBusschere, Willis Reed, Walt Frazer (Knicks)

These are how many trio's were on both teams back to 1978. No team since the Blazers in 1978 has had four teammates on all defensive teams.
2021 Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Matisse Thybulle (76ers)
2013 Tony Allen, Marc Gasol, Avery Bradley (Grizzlies)
2006 Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Tayshaun Prince (Pistons)
2005 Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Tayshaun Prince (Pistons)
1996 see above Bulls
1993 Pippen, Jordan, Horace Grant (Bulls)
1983 see above
1978 BLAZERS

The Celtics had four teammates in 1975 with Havlicek, Silas, Cowens, Don Chaney

And even then it was an irrelevant Theo Ratliff whose time as a Blazer saw the franchise play in 0 playoff games - and he only played here two full seasons.

Pippen was on legit teams here, but only made the second team once. Have to go back to Buck Williams when we had a multi year defensive player or a defensive 1st team player.

Buck Williams is 63 years old.

Sharpe was a late bloomer. He didn't get large minutes early. You also could say he was just feeling out the League the 1st half of the season. But man, did he finish the year looking like the second best rookie out there. The future is bright as long as Sharpe puts the work in. He needs to be doing it "Dametime Style".

Huh? Sharpe has consistent minutes from Day 1 and that first game was one of his best all year.

Any way we can land 3 of those guys? Dray, Brooks, and OG?

Brooks for vet minimum.

Dray ops out of his contract to get a bigger long term deal, then feels disrespected by GS management not paying him enough so decides to stick it to them by signing the MLE with the Blazers.

Blazers trade Ant and pick #23 for OG.
 
Called it before the playoffs that Clippers and Suns are one injury away from being eliminated
 
Next fired coach: Monty Williams. This is back to back years getting destroyed at home in must win 2nd round game.

I don’t care, It’s the coach’s job to make sure his team is ready to compete.

I agree but I just cannot see them sitting this game out? Something is terribly wrong with the team when a bruised rib keeps somebody on the sidelines for a close out game?
 
KingSpeed said:
Do Suns want Ant & Nurk, picks for KD/Ayton?

Not sure Ayton is much an upgrade from Nurk but adding KD to it would be great for Portland. I don’t think Phoenix does that deal and I have no idea if it could even happen with contracts?
