    But Ja got 25 games for nothing close to this bad. NBA should suspend Dray for the rest of the season honestly.

    I didn’t see this when you posted this. I had to google him, he’s 6’9. Holy crap. Is this why we have 3 1sts in ‘29? Lol.

    6’9 at 12 is crazy though.

    Memphis is at least close to other teams in the west, somewhat. Minnesota is so far away from all of them, but super close to Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee,

    Shouldn’t Portland need to focus on their MLB stadium first?

    So do players lose the money that they would earn in games they are suspended for?
    I’ll bet he feels a 20 game suspension if they do?

    It’s not the league that wants a new arena, it’s the team. Their arena is damn nice, not sure why they want a new one. More suites I’m assuming.
    Moda is one of the older yet one of the nicer ones in the league. Very well maintained. As well as PHX. Well taken care of. There are quite a few that are way newer and rundown already. Philly for example, it’s a shithole.

    Not sure what you’re asking here. Players do not get paid for missed games.

    Yeah they get suspended without pay as a means of punishment.

    The Blazers own the stadium, they don't need to focus on a MLB stadium.

    Memphis is closer to Chicago than Minneapolis isn’t it? Edit: no but TN itself is closer to IL.

    Damn! Everybody getting new arenas latley! What if Phil ends up buying the Blazers and just decides since he’s getting old he’s going to splurge and just bankroll a completely new arena?!

    Yeah that was the question. Just wondering how much that would cost him?

    Edit- Answer is more than I will make in in my lifetime?

    That's not the way it works. Trust me on this. Old men get stingier the older they get. Unless of course there is a young blonde involved.

    The hit by Green on Nurk was far worst than Grant but no concussion protocol for Nurk. Are we tanking again or just resting Grant for a possible trade?

    People handle hits differently. Grant got a concussion, Nurk did not.
