Maybe they will make the playoffs for the second time in 22 years? lol I was listening to Blazersuprise earlier and Tory said the Blazers and Mariners have traded places, as for organization status, I couldn't imagine what this town would be like if we hadn't made the offs in 20 years or Sac Town or Minnie playoff participation.
You said about just about everything I was thinking as well as @MickZagger saying we just rearranged the deck chairs. When GP was signed, I was hoping we would see less Simons/Lillard on the court at the same time. It does not look like that will change. I do not think it matters much who is playing SF and C if those two are on the floor with Grant. I like Grant but his rebounding totals are not ideal. We are never going to be able to fully tank with Lillard healthy. Hopefully his minutes are less and some of the projects we have see minutes. I would go the under on HCP's 39 win projection.
Man I hope you are right and I think it could happen. I could see Phil cutting in guys like Dame or LeBron once their careers are over.
Jazz still have this odd Clarkson, Sexton, Markanan, Olynyk core that is better than it looks.... I wouldn't be surprised at all if they finish ahead of the Blazers. Thunder have so many picks they probably just try to win too. Spurs and Rockets I agree we finish ahead of. So 13th in the West is in play for the Blazers; which if they get it would end up the same as last season.
Hey we are only 4 1/2 games from the fifth worse record in the league out of thirty teams. We have a shot at the number one loterry pick for a once in a generation player.
Hard to believe we don't pick up a big. As long as we're taking a flyer on players, Goga Bitadze was released today. He was stuck behind Myles Turner and Sabonis etc in Indiana. We've done worse..
The day I see only championships as a reason to follow a team.......is the day I go do something else. My joy is way too fucking important to decided it's existence or fate on a really low odds accomplishment. Instead, I choose to enjoy the sport when high character players give their all for the team I follow. LOVE following this current squad of people. That win was really satisfying last night. Livin large fams!
It seems like Cronin is taking flyers on highly touted guys to see if a change in scenery will help. We didn't give up much as Hart wasn't staying. We also got a bit younger as well as longer at the wing.
We could easily end up with the 5th worst record in the league with a few “injuries”, that’s a 10.5% chance at Wemby.
