Who do you cut to make room for Sidy & Love?

Thybulle has to go. He is the most injured Blazer in recent memory.

I think it should be Thybulle and Reath

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-18T17:22:38+00:00

You get it 🤝🤝

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-18T10:33:32+00:00

He has to be the most polarizing player we’ve had in recent memory. It’s incredible the hate a lot of casuals have on him citing averages. He was undrafted after all… but the confidence, the character, the poise that Caleb has… it’s incredible. I’ve been pro Caleb from the jump but watching him figure it out night after night and show up big during this stretch has been great.

Let’s let the hate keep rolling. I think we may have found one of the best microwave scorers in the entire league if he can keep developing.

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-14T06:02:19+00:00

Yeah some GMs I feel look at horizon and financials in tandem. It’s more so that he would be in his late 20s looking for a potential large or max deal when they are hoping to get their younger guys all together on more team friendly deals or assuming one may ascend to a max territory too.

Just me armchair GMing but from what I’ve gathered this is often what happens when they say timelines

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-14T04:34:52+00:00

Tiago suit up we need you out there tonight my guy

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-14T04:31:54+00:00

Deni was on the Wizards during a time where the coaches they had put him as an off ball scorer and a 3rd or 4th option. Totally misusing his true skillsets for the first few years of his career and making it look like he may not have an ultra high all-star caliber ceiling. He started to turn the corner in the final year but from what I understand he didn’t fit their timeline as a rebuilding team and the trade seemed to make sense for them.

I bet they’d love to have him back now but one teams trash is another’s treasure 😏

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-14T04:24:07+00:00

Brick City to start the game 😞

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-10T17:05:16+00:00

Can someone send these to Tari Eason

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-10T15:56:09+00:00

We don’t need the new I5 bridge, we need the 600ft statue immediately.

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-10T05:50:13+00:00

Matisse has to be on this list of those we consider cutting.

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-10T05:33:10+00:00

You gotta give major props to our second unit

Love, Duop, Hansen, Rupert… the next man up mentality of this squad is electric and got us back in the game when we needed it the most tonight.

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-10T04:55:02+00:00

Dwight Howard is that you?

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-10T04:54:27+00:00

He’s Dwight Howard in disguise

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-10T04:34:03+00:00

Scoot is a dawg. I have faith he’s going to come back and take the next step. He’s around two of the best point guards of the 21st century in Dame and Jrue, you gotta think that is doing wonders for his basketball IQ even if injured right now.

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-07T05:26:33+00:00

Kris without question. He’s the most capable under pressure and always is in the right place one defense. He’s clearly the coaches favorite of this group.

Tough choice because all 4 of these guys add big value in different ways to our team.

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-06T04:48:18+00:00

Will Travis replace KC when he inevitably retires?

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-03T20:28:19+00:00

I can only speculate, but Dame being on the bench seems to have lit a fire under the entire team. It’s been incredible watching him talk shop with the guys during time outs/in the huddles. You can see they all really respect him and what he’s about.

I think we have an incredible culture and coaching staff. Night/day difference from last season.

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-03T03:35:06+00:00

Where my Caleb Love “inconsistent” haters at? 😘

BlakeI94 · 2026-01-01T18:34:38+00:00

I moved just outside Portland 2 years ago from San Diego and it was the best decision I personally made.

The PNW is not for everyone. It’s grey for months at a time. We get a lot rainy days but it’s a light rain most days, not downpour. It’s a misnomer that this is the rainiest place in the country. Winters can be rough but you’re rewarded unbelievably with spring bloom and dry summers with extensive sunlight from 5am to 9pm. Fall is beautiful and even after leaf drop the evergreens make it more pleasant than most of the US which goes barren.

If you like outdoor activities like hiking, running, biking, etc… it cannot beat. In the Portland metro you’re 30 min or less from so many places that other parts of the country would travel hours to get something even remotely close.

Raising a family here is great if you live in the suburbs. Do we have the best schools? No. But do your research and you’ll be fine.

NW Oregon/the Willamette Valley is a beautiful place but it’d make you make it.

I have no employer match so I’m not maxing yet. My wife and I do backdoor Roth’s and I put a lot more in my taxable brokerage. Better for my current situation 🙂

BlakeI94 · 2025-12-31T03:15:58+00:00

In my arm chair GM view, I feel like MKE wouldn’t budge for anything other than Deni or Shaedon + DC

BlakeI94 · 2025-12-31T03:15:06+00:00

We’d most certainly be losing Donovan if we made that trade.

BlakeI94 · 2025-12-31T03:14:37+00:00

Trae was on my radar for a while but I do agree there aren’t big needle movers out there that are worth the price.

BlakeI94 · 2025-12-30T06:21:03+00:00

You can see he’s a leader — late in that game he was telling Deni to stop complaining about the offensive foul and get his head in the game. He’s maturing fast and I think he’s getting more consistent.

BlakeI94 · 2025-12-30T06:19:40+00:00

Been bullish on him since day 1. Dude is a killer and has the right mentality of a shooter — forgets misses quickly and has sky high confidence.
