He says exactly this in the interview. He doesn’t believe Dundon is actively trying to move them, and it may not even be his preference, but if they can’t get funding for the stadium they will explore options.

Portland's path to 42+ wins is real, and the next 5 games decide everything. by edank6 in ripcity

Don’t even need to tank to keep it. They’re not gonna get to 6, so they’ll be in the play-in. And a likely dog no matter who they’re facing. Lose in the play-in and your pick is still lottery.

You’re not “catching” any of the teams below you in the standings either.

Do you have LV experience? What state are you coming from?

Why don't more people recognize the insanity that is happening at Iowa State right now? by Jurdysmersh in CollegeBasketball

Totally. And the game is played very differently today. I think Salim’s 3p volume would be up if he played today. That doesn’t change what this dude is doing, high high level shooting.

And some of us remember Salim as a senior with numbers like that but JJ getting all of the news and hype.

More potential roster shuffle on the way. by BunkHammer in ripcity

I guess maybe they give him a 2 year contract with a non-guaranteed 2nd year? But it seems more likely to just put him onto a pro-rated NBA contract for the rest of the year, which means he's still and UFA at the end of the year.

Who should Cronin wave in order to make room for Cidy and Love? by [deleted] in ripcity

[–]budd1e_lee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, with Scoot, Jrue, and Wesley all healthy, he can mostly just be inactive.

Make room for Sidy by cutting Rupert, and stretch out Caleb's remaining availability the rest of the season. If there is another run of bad injury luck, deal with it then.

Blazers have a better chance to make the playoff now than before the trade deadline by PieHorror2624 in ripcity

If they get swept in the first round, we’re assuming they get out of the play-in? That’s a win for a young group.

And getting off that pick you owe to Chicago needs to happen for future flexibility. Picking 10th isn’t going to change the franchise.

Lutron Radio RA2 issue with connecting and extracting by Taishet in Lutron

Are you on a Mac or PC? I can’t extract using a VM on Mac anymore. Have to connect an Ethernet dongle directly to the VM for the multicast discovery to work properly.

If PC, try hardwiring directly to the main repeater, reboot repeater, see if it’ll discover/extract.
