I did "wish" instead of "think" in the poll. I think we've caught lightning in a bottle in shabazz. I don't think he's going to turn into a Right-Handed Mike Conley anytime soon, and if someone will give up a first for him, vaya con Dios and thanks for the memories.

Noah's trickier b/c I'd love to keep him, but a guy getting no rotation minutes who will command 8+M/yr going forward won't be matched. Especially with Zach and Caleb (and Meyers) hanging around.

Patty Ice? Give him a 4yr deal around MLE. Dude could turn into a Korver/Redick who rebounds and plays D.

Nurk, we've talked about. Be prepared to fork out 22M/yr or so. I think he'll be respectful of Dame enough to not want more than Dame's making (23M), but his agent is there to get him the best deal he can. And his Max will likely be around 29M/yr to start.

Absolutely winnable but that is also part of the problem. This team is so inconsistent that games we are supposed to win become an extreme adventure.

No time for that. We need to focus and win all thoses 3. No exepction.
 
Blazers announce Shabazz Napier (lower back strain) is questionable for Tuesday’s home game against Phoenix.
 
This next couple weeks will be tough as a fan... I want Blazers to win every game, but not if it gives management a false sense of security in the roster as currently constructed... Blazers severely need trades to balance out the roster, and I hope Neil knows this and is not tricked out of it by a mini win streak before the trade deadline

I'd put $500 on each of these next 3 games. We're a good home team that got off to a horrible start. Law of averages have us continuing our 3 game home winning streak and running it up to 6.

$1,500 on the next three games?

The Indiana game is intriguing, given that they just smoked Utah in their place.

I bet you $50 we don't win 6 straight.
 
Bodyman and 1 should give us an estimate. Mirrors, door, fender and so forth. We waste the Suns in same manner.

6 straight at Home, right? Sorry if my post was confusing.

We've already won 3 straight home games. Win these next 3 games is a 6 game home win streak. You bet me $50 we don't win the next 3? I take that bet obviously since I was offering $1500.

I read that wrong, still highly doubt we win all 3. You were talking about a 9-game winning streak two games ago... #JinxSpeed
