Echo EHLO WRLD {Foo-Bar}

I know all the words to this song because I covered it back in the day, but even if you do it’s just medical jargon gibberish anyway 😂

That’s how I see it. Either the Blazers also get a massive haul or you just keep them and get one later, NBD.

Gonna miss this dude. Solid pro and a good all around guy. But yeah, the Blazers had a bunch of centers and not enough shooting, so…

Not for it- those picks come due when Giannis is 33-36 and he’s a player that relies on his athleticism extensively. Better to short the picks or trade for younger players

People are being murdered, assaulted and kidnapped with impunity with funding you enabled. Now is the time to TAKE A STAND and GO FOR THE NECK. Handwringing is not a @#$%ing strategy. It makes you COMPLICIT in EVIL.

Please don’t shoot the messenger but… I doubt the Blazers want to do anything that hurts their short position on Bucks picks unless it’s a major addition to their young core.

It’s a close one, but Deni has 20 points and it isn’t even halftime yet

Ja is age contemporary with Deni… and that’s about the nicest thing I have to say about the proposal.

OK, maybe “he has less baggage than Zion” but that’s debatable

Do you think the Blazers might do the Kuminga trade just to salary dump him and pay Deni ASAP? That gives them what, 42 million in expiring this year, maybe more depending...

Nobody has any idea really. Last update was a vague nothing about him having just started on court work. So ASB at the earliest but also 🤷‍♂️

Kitty, snug as a bug in a rug

Kitties make the best basketball watching partners. Here’s mine posted up watching the game from just a few weeks ago. Always adopt!

If Jerami sits it’s gonna take a Christmas miracle

It’s weird because the team is basically exactly where I thought they’d be, but for the opposite reason I expected (bad defense instead of offense.)

I still expect a slightly below/at .500 team depending on health/what they do at the deadline.

They really need their guards back like yesterday.

Could have sworn they got Matisse Thybulle back in this trade too, but I might be misremembering

Only thing I’d be interested in is a 24-25 year old point guard that can really shoot it and also plays good defense. Surefire all-NBA type. But there’s precisely 0 of those available.

I have no idea on that one. List of guys I think work is basically nonexistent. But you don't trade guys making 13M a year on a descending contract that average 26/7/6. You find a way to add a second star in way that lets you renegotiate his contract when it's time.

The fit is super awkward. Rather keep Deni and pick up some guys that can shoot. If Scoot’s gone, who’s a young all-star point guard you can land instead?

Kawhi? Helllll no. James Harden? Sure, but a lot of that has to do with trimming time off Jerami Grant's contract so you have a runway to pay Deni.

The whole "team that probably makes the playoffs" is just a bonus to clear up picks.

It’s like the whole world wants to screw over the Blazers with this junk. Fortunately it’s probably just clickbait horseshit

Definitely

I was obsessed with this when it came out, so much so that my friends made fun of me for it.

It’s made of recycled Cybertrucks?

Expecting to see some serious regression to the mean for the Celtics and Lakers on their records… in opposite directions.

Blazers having an alright offense has been a pleasant surprise even if they’ve been struggling to get it done in the clutch.

More like something an introverted weirdo would say about the same. We smell our own kind 😂

Shae hates interviews and gives very, very bad ones. It’s part of his oeuvre but also… yeah. Deni saved his ass, on purpose probably.

Sabonis? Don't see how, only guy you could potentially make the salary ballast work for is Jerami Grant and that makes very little sense. If anything happens it's maybe Malik Monk for one of the young guards but I doubt anybody wants to cut bait just yet.

I’ve decided that I’m gonna start calling Blake Wesley Wheelie for the time being. Get better soon, bud 🍺

Kinda mind boggling they got him that cheap. Like, Simons is good but he’s a combo guard. And he’s no Jrue Holiday regardless (which is fine, dude’s future HoF- no shame in that)
