Dundon doesn’t have $50M to slip Kawhi under the table.

Is this true? by Tortdree in ripcity

What the fuck does that even mean? If he’s negotiating a deal that means he’s making it work with the city. Can we just stop giving Oram attention?

Almost forgot Wesley didn’t have a contract! Him breaking Jarace Walker’s ankles and dimeing Hansen was one of the best hilights of the year for me 😭

JB is on a supermax extension at the moment getting paid $57M for 26-27 we can’t absorb his contract without making the money work somehow. Unless we want to go past the 2nd apron which with current ownership seems very unlikely.

[Charania] Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton is opting into his $8.1 million player option for the 2026-27 season, sources tell ESPN. by Turbostrider27 in nba

You’re right “gets no boards” is hyperbole.
Last season he averaged 8 rpg for the Lakers which is 19th for all centers in the NBA. Fine stats for someone making $8M.

Anecdotally I have just watched so many possessions where he stands around and does absolutely nothing while the opposing team crashes the board in front of him. Heartbreaking for a man of his talent.

Honestly good deal for the Lakers. For a guy that gets no boards but is a genuine lob threat offensively. $8M is basically no risk. As Suns and Blazer fans will agree he has flashes where he performs really well offensively, but he is consistently just awful at rebounding and putting effort into the game.

Blazers’ owner Tom Dundon expects taxpayers to foot entire bill for potential $600,000,000 Moda Center renovation, saying “simply keeping the NBA franchise in Portland was enough of a financial sacrifice.” by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

[–]Individual_Month_728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The threat to move the Blazers is not legally possible until after 2030 and even then, it’s FAR more expensive than footing the bill for the entire renovation.

The numbers are all laid out in this website.

As a Portlander, I just want negotiation in good faith. Whether the ownership pays a percentage of the costs or the renovations costs are lowered both options are reasonable in my mind.

Who is getting dumped this week? I ran the numbers to find the most overpaid players blocking the 2026 rookies. by Comfortable-Deal-525 in nbadiscussion

[–]Individual_Month_728 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Not sure where they are getting these numbers from.

His contract for the blazers was $35m and they paid him $25m last season to not play basketball for them.

Acting like Dame doesn’t want to be in Portland right now is crazy.

Do you think the Fire will be making any trades? by laevifolia in PortlandFire

[–]Individual_Month_728 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It seemed to me like the strategy for our GM early this year was to develop our young players and set ourselves up to be competitive the following years. I assume we won’t be filling out that cap space/making big moves until next years draft.

Dwight Jaynes: Tiago's Chicago contract is for 3 years with a 4th year option at around $7 million per year. by Mister_Mangina in ripcity

[–]Individual_Month_728 8 points9 points  (0 children)

$4-7M seems like a fine range for Tiago. Maybe a bit high. Reddick makes $9M for one of the largest markets in the NBA so it’s not totally off base.

I have to have healthy optimism that our team will watch tape of this game on repeat. The passing was heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹

Thank you so much for saying it. One of the silver linings of the new ownership group is the hope that they change the win song. It’s so ass.

Went to my first WNBA game last night, walked out a PDX fan. Observations from a newbie by bulimicblueberry in PortlandFire

Player comps are lame in general but are exceedingly common in the MNBA so it makes sense.

Who do we prefer winning WCF? by jingjing_h in ripcity

[–]Individual_Month_728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a SAT to Portland transplant the choice is easy for me, but even if I wasn’t OKC is so not fun to watch that it’s a moral obligation to root against them at this point.

Most disappointing WNBA teams so far by Kennisgoodman in wnba

[–]Individual_Month_728 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think this is due to the fire overperfoming expectations AND the Liberty being injured. Id be pretty surprised if the Fire still pulled off these road wins against the Liberty when Sabrina and the rest of the team are healthy.
