A man who has never learned that actions have consequences should never be allowed to start a war.

Always really cool to be included in the APSE writing contest as a one-man operation. Got 3 top-10 finishes this year: breaking news (WNBA filing trademarks for Portland Fire), explanatory (how the Blazers scouted Yang Hansen) and columns.

"That would be crushing for this community, so I hope they can figure it out. I know there's a lot to that. I know there's financial things to it. That's not my department. But emotionally, I just know what this place is and what it means to have a professional basketball team here. (2/3)

Portland native and Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman made a statement about keeping the Trail Blazers in Portland during his pregame presser tonight:

"They gotta keep the team here. They gotta find a way to do that. This is a basketball city. The Northwest deserves two teams. (1/3)

Sidy Cissoko raised eyebrows after a game in December when he told reporters, β€œIf I can die on the court, I will die on the court.”

But the quote didn’t come as a surprise to those who know him best.

The bittersweet part about today's news is the Blazers had to waive Rayan Rupert to make room for Cissoko. The pair have been close friends ever since they played on France's junior national team together as teenagers.

Read about the emotion driving Cissoko, as he's traveled from France to Rip City, in this exclusive profile from January:

In more positive news, Tiago says Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray participated in all of practice today. He says the team will make a decision tomorrow about their statuses for the game against Denver.

Tiago Splitter says Shaedon Sharpe didn’t practice today and the team is still evaluating how long he’ll be out with his left calf strain, but he will be out for the near future.
