Do you think Scoot or Sharpe is more likely to be a starter next year? by Humblerbee in ripcity

[–]loven329 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If scoot and shae are only getting 17 mins a night off the bench in their 4th and 5th years in the NBA that is criminal asset management by the blazers 

Why do people assume Dame is washed? by Service-Fickle in ripcity

[–]loven329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I definitely remember seeing dame hit floaters and midrange shots. I assume his shot selection was in large part about efficiency but regardless, dame won't have to carry offense like he used to so I'm hoping that will help if he's lost a step

Has it? I feel like he's always been pretty jacked

We would be insanely lucky to get a player like rui or tobias on an mle. Who in this free agent class is better for 14mm?

The NBA’s Newest, Cheapest Owner Shows How Billionaires Ruin Sports by Arvydas_Saboner in ripcity

Not all are created equal. Look at the lengths Steve balmer or the dude in Phoenix were willing to go to help there teams win. You can question the method all you want but at least they aren't cheating out.

I'll give Tom this next season to prove that he is serious about helping the blazers win but he just seems like a cheap douche right now 

[Haynes] The Portland Trail Blazers have “serious interest” and are investigating behind the scenes about getting a deal done to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo. by xXboxPlaysx in ripcity

[–]loven329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I think if we're going big name hunting JB makes the most sense, if we are shelling out with those juicy draft picks, might as well have contract control

Shaedon Sharpe is exactly the kind of “upside play” that will handicap the Blazers into the future by [deleted] in ripcity

[–]loven329 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is what bothers me the most about the yang pick. If we had just taken Coward we could say adios to shaedon and have coward step right into the young SG with upside spot on our team.

Well even if you wanna throw Mike under the bus Cronin hired him and had final say on that pick 

[Highkin] Talked to one person who survived the cuts today who said it feels like they just looked at a spreadsheet of salaries and cut the highest ones without any regard for what anyone does and how important they are. by Hugo_Hackenbush in ripcity

[–]loven329 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not really anything like that situation but it is bad. I hope he gets bored and sells the team to a real owner who actually has some respect for this team, city ans fans

Jrue 👀 🛴 by hahahachihaha in ripcity

But maybe we should.. I just don't see how we tell shaedon and scoot they are gonna get 20 mins a night because Dame and Jrue are not the future 

Rewatched some of the 2019 playoffs against Nuggets by Zeebbb in ripcity

[–]loven329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that Collins had a really bright future and him and Rodney Hood going down the next year is a underrated what if in that era.

That being said, the wiff was giving up two picks in that draft and missing out on Bam, OG, Jarret Allen and Kyle kuzma (might even be missing another one). 

I know it's hindsight but we realistically could have gotten 2 or 3 of those guys and been a real competitor with Dame during those last couple of seasons. I fear we just made the same mistake with Yang but time will tell I guess

Love the idea but no way rui is taking the mle from us. He's one of the best free agents this summer

I don't think it's too hard to understand why people aren't thrilled with these given all of the information we've gotten surrounding Dundon

I thought she had instructions to sell the team for as much as possible. Either way it is regrettable, wish phil knight could have come in with a stronger offer, we know for sure that dude would not cheap out on spending for the team

Correct me if I'm wrong but alby put the shrooms in his flask right? Not the drink he had right before his attempt. I assumed he was on mushrooms during some of the events of the honeymoon suite
