    I thought teams were supposed to have fewer back to back games.

    Aiight here’s the deal. Tolliver and Mario have offered next to nothing offensively. They have the two lowest obpm among the rotation players. Mario is however one of the few guys on the team that defends, and the numbers back it up, as he’s third on the team in dbpm behind Baze and Skal.

    It’s too early to be making trades, so we have to deal with what we’ve got. I don’t know if solution is the word, but the first order of business should be to consider taking Tolliver completely out of the rotation. That’s roughly 20 minutes freed up, not an insignificant number, especially considering most of the issues are with the second unit. Mario should probably see his minutes reduced, but honestly, he hasn’t really been given the ball the way he got it in preseason. When he’s with the starters, he’s basically just standing around while dame/CJ go ISO.

    My rotation starting tonight, assuming Hood is a go:

    Dame
    CJ
    Baze
    Hood
    Whiteside

    Second unit

    Simons
    Hood
    Little/Trent
    Hezonja/Little
    Skal

    Trent played well on both ends yesterday, so he probably deserves another look tonight as well. This is obviously not ideal, but running Tolliver and Hezonja out there for a combined 40 minutes isn’t working either.

    btw I do think Olshey should consider signing another big, but I also have no idea where Gasol is in his rehab.

    I also thought they were eliminating the 5 games in 7 days.

    Naw I don’t think anybody needs to be fired.

    injuries just did us in. Simple as that. We’ll be fine next year when we run it back fully healthy and more weapons with our lottery pick and trading Whiteside and Baze

    This is what I’ve been saying too. It’s going to be a developmental year and I’m excited. Give Little a lot run too and let’s enjoy Simons getting better..

    The time around the draft should be a lot of fun

    I think he will soon when we go full development. We’ll be great next year with fully healthy Nurk and Zach and other assets we get for enduring this season

    IDK? Skal got cooked last night? Of course so did Tolliver so i guess starting Skal would make sense for growth values.

    The FA market is terrible this summer. There wouldn't be much on the market - even at the MLE level.
    Also considering Portland's financial position, I highly doubt Whiteside or Baze will be traded for players with longer contracts. Portland will be looking at allowing their salaries to come off the books to get below the tax line for next season.
