    ...and perhaps even more humiliating, the Kings are at the top of that graphic.

    So we're 13th in the west and 8th-worst in the league, but actually closer to the West 5 seed than to a league bottom 5 record.

    So weird.

    It's one of those years of extreme parity....and yet we are not even in the parity discussion. A few more wins against the scrubs might move them up, but it doesn't make them close to a contending team. Just more purgatory.

    I'm all in for the hardcore tank. Win now is not an option anymore. Not with this roster

    With Joe in charge, Scoot Henderson would be the pick at #1

    Sit dame, play Sharpe 35 minutes a night, get a top 10 pick by any means necessary.

    Will the team try to win the next few games or start resting guys right away?

    If anyone wants to watch a generational talent that the Blazers will never get, he's going live on the NBA app here in a few...

    IF we get #1 pick this summer, is Wemby ready to help Dame contend? What do Blazers do in such scenario?

    draft VW and then trade him for 45 second round picks

    Seriously, given health whoever gets him will be winning a lot

    If somehow we got Wembanyama, his leg would crack in two or his knees would crumble. That's what happens here.

    I don't believe the Blazers have any intention of tanking 2 seasons in a row, at least not this early in the season. If they are 4 or 5 games out of 10 seed with 10-12 to go there might be some motivation to shut some players down. But not much. I think they'll go for it until they are mathematically eliminated

    People are concerned that we can't seem to get a big man, but it's logical. They're literally afraid to come to Portland.
