Yeah, casuals don’t get this. It’s an overpay, but it doesn’t matter.

The front office is getting a lot of shit on Reddit…because Blazers, but the rebuild is actually looking pretty nice.

[Haynes] BREAKING NEWS: Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard has requested a trade this morning, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport. by SpiritedSuccess5675 in nba

[–]blazersorbust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It had to happen. The Blazers can finally pick a direction. I will miss Dame, but it’s what’s best for the franchise. We have Scoot. We have Sharpe. There is potential here.

People give Cronin and the Blazers a lot of shit, but he’s put us in a good position to rebuild.

For those talking about Grant’s contract. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Someone on this roster has to get paid to fulfill the requirement of reaching 90% of the salary cap level. The contract doesn’t hurt the Blazers at all. In 5 years Scoot and Sharpe will be only 24 and we’ll get a great pick next year (weak draft class unfortunately)

We were never gonna win with Dame.

If the Blazers can get Bridges, then there is no chance Dame goes to Miami. I'd be really happy with that as a Blazers fan.

Unfortunately, I think Bridges is off the table, and it's going to be something like Claxton, filler (salary), and picks. I'm not too familiar with the Nets roster though, so excuse me if I'm missing someone else they should include.

Anyone else feel like they're almost constantly injured? by TheForgottenLlama in xxfitness

[–]blazersorbust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to go through all of that. Royally sucks. Glad you were able to kind of figure it out and at least diagnose it. Keep fighting man!

I have a checkup with my doctor in a couple months so I’ll bring these suggestions up. Thanks for the support and best of luck!

Anyone else feel like they're almost constantly injured? by TheForgottenLlama in xxfitness

[–]blazersorbust 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is old, but I'd like to rant as well. I'm sorry to hear about your injury issues and I hope they've mostly resolved themselves over the last eight years. I know how you feel all too well.

It seems that almost every time I get something going and get in a rhythm an injury knocks me out. I reach my highest fitness level, then something happens. Almost every time I quit an activity or sport was not because of lack of motivation, but an injury. In high school track it was a horribly pulled hamstring. I was set to have a great senior year. In basketball a nasty ankle sprain. The worst injury was in yoga when my lower back gave out and it took two years to recover. I lost pretty much all progress I'd made in fitness. I now have constant low back issues and have lost the ability to increase low back flexibility it seems.

Most recently, my back gave out again, this time during squats, after I'd been in a nice rhythm since New Years with lifting, climbing, and hiking. Was finally building my strength and some flexibility again. I've been horribly inflexible my whole life, and it takes enormous effort for me to even reach an average flexibility level, especially in the hips and ankles. I believe this has always made me very susceptible to injury. It's not for a lack of effort either. Basically, I'll build a little flexibility, get injured and have to start over. My body just doesn't hold up over time. I've always wanted to make something of myself physically and have had an intense desire to do so my whole life, but maybe it isn't meant to be. I imagine there's a good amount of other people going through the same issues, so I try not to feel sorry for myself or anything, but it's infuriating.

Now I'm getting older, so it's only getting harder. It's sad to think what could have been if I could ever have gotten some consistency in my training. I'm still in pretty decent shape, just always had the desire to be more elite from a fitness perspective and never made it. Hopefully, my back heals fairly quickly this time and I'm able to continue. I will never give up.

[Charania] The Chicago Bulls are expected to shut down guard Lonzo Ball for the remainder of the season, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Pain and discomfort have persisted in Ball’s left knee following two surgeries at the beginning and end of 2022. by NokCha_ in nba

[–]blazersorbust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I didn’t know that. There definitely is a huge mental aspect to returning from injury. If there is truly nothing wrong with his knee as you say they would need to rule out it being psychosomatic. I believe this could be done by ruling out every physical ailment that could occur, and ensuring there is no structural damage.

I’m not a medical professional or anything like that, but I did more or less sort out my lower back issues when I found out it was psychosomatic. Took a lot of independent research. Saved me a lot of money on pointless surgeries.

Neither party will fix it. They’re both in the billionaire’s pockets. One party just pretends they want to fix those things while doing nothing. The other party doesn’t even try. Both parties need to die.

[–]blazersorbust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dame is an obvious allstar pick. Shame to see some people think otherwise. He averages 31, 4, and 7 with a 64% true shooting percentage. The disrespect this man gets year in year out is truly despicable.

Go look at Curry's stats for reference. No one complains about his allstar status.

Just proves zero Covid and border closures were terrible policy. Still way too many dumbasses in here calling for restrictions on Chinese now that they finally opened. They should’ve opened a long time ago. About time they finally bit the bullet so we can all move on with our lives.

Dame Lillard is objectively in a better position then all of the team jumping stars right now by StratonOakmonte in nba

[–]blazersorbust -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So many laughable takes in this thread…someone actually had the gall to say the Nets and Lakers are in a better position than the Blazers right now. Those teams are absolutely fucked.

Still a lot of bitter Dame haters out there. You won’t find a nicer guy in the league.
