Won't someone please think of the taxes?! I'm worried about my 20 billion supporting all these Vulcans!
Woof! From my view, the Blazers issues are not built shooting the ball....they seem to be around not being able to defend off the dribble in about 12-14'.
They might be right. They have probably watched jhim play which is more than I can say. He's tall and reputed to be a defender and said to be intense and a very hard worker.
Yeah thats why I said another. For the rest of the season I think biggest priority is for one of these guys to show they are starting quality: Sharpe Nas Cam Thybulle Knox To show they're starting worthy. At the very least the practices should be competitive....
Sharpe is the only one that needs to be spoon fed minutes. We know what Nas is, what he is paid and that means there is no issue with him being a bench guy. Cam is the biggest what-if of these guys, you want to see if he can be a designated scorer of the bench. You know what MT is, great defender, will always have a place in the NBA on that side of the ball. Not likely to be much more than this, if he can shoot a little better, he can be a starter in the Josh Hart mold. Knox, frankly, I have very little hope for, but he is a slightly bigger body, so that's OK for this team.
FEB 9 2023Traded to Portland (POR) from Philadelphia (PHI) as part of a 3-team trade: Philadelphia (PHI) traded 2023 2nd round pick to Charlotte (CHA); Portland (POR) traded 2029 2nd round pick to Philadelphia (PHI); Portland (POR) traded Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and 2027 2nd round pick to Charlotte (CHA); Charlotte (CHA) traded Jalen McDaniels and 2024 2nd round pick to Philadelphia (PHI) https://www.spotrac.com/nba/portland-trail-blazers/matisse-thybulle-31577/ Bruh did we trade TWO seconds and get the worse player? No wonder we prioritized getting those 5 seconds back....
