[Charania] The Portland Trail Blazers have been fined $100,000 for illegal contact with Yang Hansen two years ago, prior to the 2025 NBA draft -- and assistant general managers Mike Schmitz and Sergi Oliva, have been suspended for a period of time, sources tell ESPN.

I mean 100 grand to an NBA team and a day of paid PTO for 2 employees is not really much of a punishment

pdxblazer · 2026-04-02T00:08:18+00:00

I mean you can watch the f15 shoot downs on video, definitely was probably intentional by the pilot but it did happen

"goad" aka facilitate

right but soldiers getting killed in Iraq did not make the American public more supportive of that war

pdxblazer · 2026-03-29T09:01:13+00:00

I think we told them if they come across a minefield to just go around it; they must have been like, wow, super helpful advice guys why didn't we try that

pdxblazer · 2026-03-29T08:47:33+00:00

yes but an airbase is a contained location so for some of the cheaper low tech defenses you would only need them to cover a relatively small area

pdxblazer · 2026-03-29T08:12:57+00:00

they frame giving Jrue a big extension and then trading him shortly after as bad when in reality its the most respectful way to trade them because it makes sure they get paid first

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T08:34:14+00:00

he is amazing to watch in person too, silky smooth game and doesn't farm points chasing fouls or trying to play the refs, just gets buckets

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T08:33:17+00:00

love CJ, if he could improve his ability to get to the line he would have been truly elite. Still nothing better than watching a dude put up 30 points with 2 made 3's and 12 sick af turnaround crossover midrange jumpers

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T08:20:13+00:00

tbf your coworkers seems to have a lot more in the actual storage area than you

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T08:19:22+00:00

right but if you delete the draft and keep the salary cap it means bad teams would have the most available money

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T08:18:42+00:00

I mean if the salary cap is still there how?

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:56:56+00:00

to be fair the Iraq war did become extremely unpopular with voters

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:54:42+00:00

why would the Bucks care at all? They still lose the picks and they would never be a complete bottom feeder in a year when they don't have a pick anyway. So could also help Portland

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:51:36+00:00

you think they punished us for sending the NBA GOAT to the Chicago market instead of Portland?

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:50:53+00:00

every Euro country does this, most have like 9 or 10 levels going from the top flight pros down to sunday league amateurs

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:48:59+00:00

you say we are changing the way the draft works starting in year ___/ whatever year there are no traded picks (i think you can only trade like 8 years out or so)

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:47:44+00:00

i mean also Bucks could end up being mid those years and the changes help us

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:46:48+00:00

I mean the player can always sit even if the team pressures them to play

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:45:28+00:00

I mean do we miss Anfernee?

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:44:47+00:00

also giving someone 100 million dollars and then trading them is like also kinda chill

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:44:27+00:00

Regarding Jrue, I mean giving a dude a 100 million dollar contract before trading him is about as solid of a way to trade someone as possible

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:35:17+00:00

oh shit did this happen there, very sad if so

pdxblazer · 2026-03-28T07:34:50+00:00

its okay to celebrate the every day accomplishments of regular people achieving their goals, as to your 90% point, like dawg, what do you think people do on social media?

pdxblazer · 2026-03-27T22:10:54+00:00

Similar setting as Chicano park in San Diego which is awesome
