Trade Blazers trade Hezonja for Kanter!

So do the last 20 years of titles post Bulls not count?

 

They get to eat and drink at night. Sun up to sun down is when Muslims fast for Ramadan.

 

Yeah i understand that. My point was more looking at things that happened in the bubble (They played a number of Day games) and the fact that the story was hit and miss on the subject. It says he did it one month and he had one of his best months but it doesn't say he did it during the years he won championships or that he did it more than a couple years at all. The thing is Ramadan is early April to early May(4/12-5/12). This years play in tournament looks to be starting mid May around the 15th.
Kanter should be back to eating by playoffs but he will have to deal with it for any late season games they have. The days get longer after mid April. So he would probably still be fasting at the start of most games day or night?

 

What a terrible take. The only problem with him starting then is that he wasn't Nurk. Kanter played awesomely for us and was one of the main reasons we beat Denver.

 

Yeah the bubble would have been brutal for those who observe Ramadan but it happened during the COVID stoppage this year. I do know that sometimes on the West coast at the end of the season and into the very beginning of the playoffs the sun hasn't set when the evening games tip off but that's rare and when it happens the guys observing get better after halftime.

 

You misread my post, I was saying the issue of him being exhausted during Ramadan would only be a problem when he was a 40 mpg starter. Ramadan fasting isn't likely to be much of a problem as a backup.

 

is this Ramadan thing seriously gonna be brought up again? Seriously? ugh.

 

I'm 75 and I fast 18 hours a day every day of the year, basically. And I do 40 minutes of strenuous exercise near the end of that fasting period. It should really not be a problem for a 28 year old guy. (admittedly, I don't do the water fast)

 

Glad that works for you. For the record, it’s only the water fasting that I have an issue with in the context of an NBA athlete. As others have said, it shouldn’t be a problem for a guy playing reserve minutes, but dehydration could be an issue playing starters minutes.

 

I fast several times a day. Usually between 7am and 11-1130 am. Then again between 12 noon and about 5pm. Then a couple mini fasts about an hour long. Then of course i fast from 10pm to 430 am.
I do this daily and i have not had a problem at all.

 

Back to Europe lol

 

With all of those fasts, no wonder you're so speedy!

 

Not even invited to camp. Yikes.

 

knowing hezonjas personality, he probably didn’t wanna show up.

 

Damn how do you curb hunger? That’s impressive

 

You pig out from 10AM to 4PM and sleep a lot.
Not that I could do it.

 

Wow. I’ve been busy and not paying attention to Blazers. Knew we got Kanter but didn’t know it was for Hezonja. What a miracle!

 

Actually, it was more like we got Kanter for free, and could've also gotten the 30th pick for free but let Memphis have it for taking Hezonja.

 

Sounds like Memphis isn't even letting Hezonja show up for camp? Probably gonna buy him out.

 

I do kind of pig out but I don't sleep a lot. It's not that tough. Just don't eat after 6 and keep busy in the morning until 12.
