    it's not crazy at all for chrissakes...what's crazy is think the Pelicans would be stupid enough to send one of those guys

    if the Blazers had either of those players would you include them in a trade for CJ? or Ant?

    something else about the Pelicans: they have Murphy and Jones; they have Ingram and CJ; they have Valunciunas and Nance; and Josh Richardson; and Naji Marshall. And yet, they may only end up 8th seed and could be eliminated from the playoffs before the playoffs even begin

    The 4 teams with best odds have 14% each. Of course it's worthwhile

    Let's just hope Kidd's unnecessary candor yesterday doesn't end up with our team also getting punished.

    Oh they know we're tanking; they just think Dallas would actually do something with their ill-gotten pick. We're harmless.

    The less national attention we bring to our openly shameless tank... The better.

    I remember that. And he did look good at the end of last year. But whenever I watched him this year he did not look that
    good. Yes he had a big game recently, but to me has looked as inconsistent as the SFs we already have.

    The Bugatti....hands down. Then I trade it for:

    Ferrari 488 Spyder ~$325,000
    Dodge Ram TRX - $85,000
    Ford Bronco - $35,000
    Alfa Romeo 4C Spider - $60,000
    Nice place in Cabo - $500,000
    $1,000,000 into a multi-layered Buffered ETF (not in Oregon)
    Remaining ~$1,000,000 in a Trust for underprivileged children's education

    Oh happy day......

    Portland is not the only shameless tanker:

    I think the NBA looking at Dallas for this is because they did it during a game instead of an injury report before the game

    and, let's face it, over the years there has been some bad blood between Cuban and the NBA front office

    I wanted Trey Murphy III out of that deal. At the time, he hadn't blown up yet and was stuck behind Jones among others.

    Sharpe hadn't blown up yet prior to this season's trade deadline. That doesn't mean that Portland didn't know what they had in Sharpe or what his upside was

    “Which means, The Portland Trail Blazers will make the first selection”

    “And the winner of the 2023 draft lottery are… The Portland Trailblazers”

    Would be so monumental. Prolly going to be Detroit, Houston or SA.

    I dont think the league gives one damn about teams tanking with how they've incentivized it. Just dont admit to it or bring attention to it like Kidd did last night. I don't think we'll catch any strays but Cubans defense for whatever comes of this investigation will be to point his fingers at Portland, Indiana, Utah, etc.

    Exactly my point. This could hold a few players in college for another year.
