Thing about that situation that people forget was that Jermaine was DESTROYING all the Portland bigs daily in practice. It didn’t matter, coach didn’t like playing young guys. Wish we had kept JO!

I hated that trade at the time. It was stupid.

As far as Han Sen, I said during the Summer League hype that real NBA players were going to make him look like a fool. So, not surprised at all. I think he has a chance to become a decent backup in a few years. At least I hope so.

I'm crossing my fingers and toes and praying to the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the sky that the draft pick we got with him strikes gold.

I don't know if you're kidding but Hansen should be there and get some time with GO one on one afterward. GO really played smart basketball both during his one year at Ohio State and then the limited time he had here. Especially on defense it wasn't just his athleticism, he was always in the right spot to take advantage of his size on D. Hansen needs all of that.

Anyone with operating brain cells and a pulse could tell Queen was going to be a baller. What a lay-up we decided to blow on a "what if."

going to be a baller.

shot caller
Twenty inch blades on the Impala
A caller gettin' laid tonight
Swisher rolled tight, gotta sprayed by Ike
I hit the highway, making money then fly way
But there's got to be a better way
A better way, better way, yeah

No thanks on a Big who doesn't defend as I prefer to root for a winner. For me the one that got away was my draft crush of 2021 Jalen Duren. He's been crushing it on both ends for one of the best teams in the league & will be an All Star at the ripe old age of 22. Detroit attainied him by flipping the pick PDX sent them for Jerami... sigh. Just to relive the "what if" pain prior to last night's game I went through the All Things Jalen Duren thread made in the lead up to that draft... lots of good posters with a pulse with some unbelievably terrible takes there.

As far as Yang not hitting the ground running, management certainly knew he wasn't likely to play much this year and any fan pointing to this year's lack of production from him as some sort of proof he's a bad pick is just being silly.
