Tank for Wembanyama

[wizenheimer]

Coach's "low-post" defense is fantastic!

that's offense, not defense....no wonder replays suck

Orlando almost beat Cleveland last night. That's probably the best shot at them getting a win.

I think/hope Washington beats Houston.

I think/hope that Indy should beat Detroit.

Aren't New York and Cleveland already locked into their match-up at 4 and 5 seed? If so, I imagine they might start resting stars.

exactly where is his right hand?

Reminds me of what my dad said to me before my first-ever prostate examination.

"Be concerned if both of his hands are on your shoulder during the examination"

So how do we guarantee a loss to San Antonio?

Bench Shaedon?
Bench Knox?
Bench Mays?

Bench Butler

 

[Natebishop3]

Melo was usually pretty good for a tank. Can we bring him back?

Benching Sharpe might be TOO obvious. Bench Mays instead. As a Blazer:

17 points, 7.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, .606 FG%, .571% from 3, 100% from the FT line and an eFG% of .727

Absolutely wild how good he's been. It's a small enough sample size that I hope we don't just decide he's our backup PG of the future, but certainly encouraging, knowing that those are the kinds of windfalls we're going to need if we really ARE able to pull off a massive trade...

Looks like his contract includes free exams.

The Blazers need Sly for the Spurs game.

Keep an ambulance on stand-by.

10th time was the charm!

I don’t understand how being 5th can give such bad odds at picking 5th lol.

 

[blazerkor]

The Pacers beating the Knicks tonight would be pretty cool, since the Knicks have already clinched their playoff slot and all.

 

[HailBlazers]

I could get 5/5/5 on Collins!

That some fast food deal?

 

[blazerfan11]

I don’t understand how being 5th can give such bad odds at picking 5th lol.

There are 9 teams behind the Trail Blazers that can jump into the top 4 and bump the Blazers from the 5th spot.
Add that to the 42 percent chance that the Blazers themselves move into the top 4.

I think the mind focuses too much on that 5th starting spot and forgets there are 9 teams that can jump ahead. If even one jumps over, you're bumped out of 5th.
If you're the 13th spot, there's a 93 % chance that you stay there. Only one team behind you, and low odds to jump into the top 4.

Against the Spurs I want to roll out the most garbage lineup we can possibly play.

So, our regular starting lineup?

So I watch games on league pass and during timeouts instead of ads sometimes I get highlight packages or the best of one of our guys from the previous month or an ultimate Dame highlight package. Do you put those together as well?

I absolute love those packages. Thanks!

 

[BBert]

Thank you for your service sir!

Hypothetical, if we end up with the 3rd pick would you package that in a deal for someone in the KAT range or keep the pick?

KAT is at or very near the line I would draw. The rest of the package would determine whether he's above or below that line.

It seems like it would have to be Nurk + Little (or Sharpe) + lottery pick for KAT just to match up salaries, right? Or put in Ant for the second piece with MN throwing something back.

How would you feel about those options?

I would feel A-OK as long as it didn’t have Sharpe in the deal. I think KAT would be a good gamble. Towns might not be a franchise guy but we’ve already got one of those. Dame might be exactly what KAT needs.

If we get the 8th pick, I will vomit.

I got 3-1-1 this morning and shut it off after that.

I don’t think I’d trade #2 in a package for KAT. KAT’s contract is just atrocious and he’s missed 30+ games three times in the last four seasons.

I hear you. The upside, though... not that MN would make the trade, necessarily, but it's one of the only names we kick around that could end in Portland being a contender under Dame IMO.

Scoot reminds me of Baron Davis
