Tank for Wembanyama

imagine the Bulls, they thought they'd be getting the Blazers pick in 2022, and now they won't get it again this year

There's the silver lining I've been looking for for the season...

Am I the only one who isn't viscerally perturbed by Douggie? Only points that are docked are because it's a bit repetitive with the inevitably returning Squatch. Then you can have a fun rivalry in a few years. Whatever.

Because he looks like he wants a piece of your ass.

Every mascot does. Every one of them.

 

[Samuel]

I mean...

I'll go you one more, the moment a mascot doesn't look like it wants a piece of my ass, that's a huge problem that should be taken up with Bert Kolde immediately.

This dude just strikes a little too close resemblance to Pedo Bear.

And there you go....that's the name of Portland's new MLB team!
The Portland Pedo Bears.
Like the Cubs, but more touching....

The mascot's teeth are way too cartoonish...needs some fangs for Bigfoot. Bigfoot is just a Wookie without ammo anyway.

I see, so you are saying Douggie is a @BlazerWookee cousin/relative?

I dunno the Oregon Ducks duck mascot has always looked pretty good.

But then again the Pittsburgh Flyers mascot definitely looks like a homeless person who is high on meth... And likely wants your ass.

Wait is Bigfoot a Wookie without ammo, or is a Wookie a Bigfoot WITH ammo? This has to be explored.

Does Douggie drink Coors Light?

 

[BigGameDamian]

So how many players exactly do we need to develop before the team is ready to win a championship with Dame?

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Does Douggie drink Coors Light?

yep. Like a fish.

 

[AngryFan]

I think it's more of a quality thing than a quantity thing. Hence this thread.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Un PC or not, give me back Chief Wahoo any day. "Slider" sucks......

 

[blazerkor]

I’ve been watching a ton of Wemby video and we’d be incredibly lucky to get the guy. Just think of a combination of Duncan, Durant and Hakeem. This kids movement with his incredibly long frame just makes sense.

He’d win championships here, most likely with Dame.

And that’s why Dame isn’t pissed right now. I imagine that we have told him we are either hoping to get Wemby or trade the pick.

That would be stupid to trade the pick just because Dame wants us to.
Number one, Dame himself was a traded pick so he should know how that can backfire and have repercussions for years.
Number two, take a look at a team like Memphis. Ja Morant, drafted by Memphis. Desmond Bane, by using the 30th pick acquired from Boston. Jaren Jackson, 4th pick by the Grizzlies.
Dillon Brooks, 45th pick obtained in a draft-day trade.
That's 4 of Memphis's starters.

Lets go Pacers!!!

Might be a chance they never get it?

I think 2027 it becomes two seconds.

They're getting something this off-season if Joe is being real about going all in. If that's the Knicks pick or next year's first guaranteed, they'll get something.

 

[blazerkor]

We will now be all by our selves in the 6th position in the race for Wemby. After tomorrow night we should be a full game worse than Indy.

5th is my goal. It’s obtainable

What's the logic there?

The team will trade both first rounders this year and future first(s)?

Dear Lord, I hope not. There's nobody good enough in the NBA to give that much along with matching salaries (which will be two of our best players) to make this team a contender. Or at least none that aren't cornerstones of their current franchises.

If we had gotten Durant for, say, Ant and Nurk and three firsts... we're still not all that good, and we're leaning on two rather injury-prone studs nearing their mid-30s.

Dudes like Siakem or John Collins? We'd be younger but I would argue worse off in the immediate term than we are right now and definitely worse off moving into the future (again, assuming we're giving up Ant and Nurk and picks, at minimum).
