    Couldn't happen to a better franchise.
    They need to do right by Jimmy!

    Screw Jimmy Butler. Never have liked him. Leaves franchises left and right. It’s always SOMEBODY else’s fault.

    I was just joking about how their fans and media kept saying that about us and dame, that we had to take their lower offer to do right by him

    I don’t have a subscription to The Athletic. But was hearing some murmurs today about an article Quick wrote about Ant. Was surprised not to see a mention of it here.

    Ouch. Riley is not to be fucked with. Next is arbitration like NOP did with AD. The league forced them to play AD.

    Edit.

    SGA just broke Josh Hart’s ankles. Must see tv. Watching OKC is something else.

    Will GS part with Jonathan Kuminga for Butler? GS is desperate. Steph is 36 and Draymond is 34 and they need a big power move if they want to be contenders again.

    Man, I remember way back when we had a team to get excited about, the Blazers with Roy went on like a 12 or 14 game winning streak and the RG was electric to be at.

    I feel like that won’t happen again for many many years.

    Ill say that I can actually stand how Simons has been playing for the last ~10 games or so.

    It feels like he is FINALLY playing within the flow of the game.

    That said, he's a major reason why the Blazers have been loosing so badly the lst few years

    I think his funk has more to do with the burden of being the #1 on this team when he should be a 6th man on a contender.

    defensive rating (team 118.1):

    Robert Williams 111
    Donovan Clingan 112
    Deandre Ayton 115
    Dalano Banton 116
    Jabari Walker 117
    Deni Avdija 117
    Toumani Camara 118
    Scoot Henderson 119
    Kris Murray 120
    Jerami Grant 120
    Rayan Rupert 121
    Shaedon Sharpe 121
    Anfernee Simons 122

    DBPM:

    Robert Williams 2.4
    Donovan Clingan 0.6
    Dalano Banton -0.4
    Deni Avdija -0.4
    Toumani Camara -0.5
    Kris Murray -1.0
    Jerami Grant -1.3
    Deandre Ayton -1.3
    Jabari Walker -1.4
    Scoot Henderson -1.5
    Rayan Rupert -1.7
    Shaedon Sharpe -2.4
    Anfernee Simons -2.4

    Simons has a net rating of -13.0 and a BPM of -2.0. He has generally been a net negative; his good offense has never really been enough to offset his bad defense
