    I'm positive that Zion is going off tonight.

    Eh, Im more worried about Dame vs Jrue than Zion. Jrue seems to be the one guy who kinda has owned Dame.

    I really don't think he will be able to accomplish the kind of impact Dame can provide. It's also time for CJ to have a good game.

    IMO, it's always time for CJ to have a good game.

    I wish he agreed with me more often.

    Well he does at least 1/3 of the time. Maybe? What do you want?

    For 25%+ of the salary cap, I want him to do better than having a good game "1/3 of the time".

    Just me being unreasonable though, I'm sure.

    I’m as peeved as anyone, but I think the real decision point with CJ will be in two years. Both Zach and Gary will be up for extensions at that point. They will probably combined make as much as CJ. There will be little to no flexibility if CJ stays on the roster.

    IMO there will be no decision point with CJ as long as Olshey is the GM. That decision was made in 2013

    I wonder why they called Moses up. Pretty sure they’re not practicing until after the break. And he’s definitely not gonna play. So what’s the point? Was it a reward for the first half of the season or something?

    Texas Legends don't have a game until the 19th...might as well be around the team.

    I think it's an opportunity to have him work with the Portland coaching staff, without it counting against the '45 day' limit for 2-way contracts (since the NBA is officially on break).

    doesn't the 45 day limit only count against days a player is on the active roster?

    No. The CBA states 'he can spend up to 45 days with his affiliate NBA team'.

    http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q82

    Some interesting notes:
    So the question is: "Is the all-star break 'oustide' of the g-league season"?

    Also, it looks like they can travel with the team for the playoffs (assuming we make it).

    I've kind of been looking forward to this game because of the match-ups at guard and forward

    * can Holiday & Ball bottle up Dame when he's on a tear? Will CJ do better than a 1.0 point/shot ratio? Will the Pelican's back court length once agains be kryptonite for the shorter Blazer guards

    * Zion and Ingram against Ariza and Melo, That looks really interesting and could go several different directions. I was a bit disappointed to read that Ingram might not play. I'm a Blazer fan but I'm also a basketball fan, and that match-up could be fun if everybody is healthy
