    Man, that's pretty cool as far as the Wolves go. But i don't dig KAT. But he is better than Nurk. It's just that whiney face, and looking like he's about to cry after ever play.

    I agree, honestly, but it would 100% be an upgrade, talent-wise. Undoubtedly.

    I thought the Gobert trade was terrible when it happened and it's even worst now

    I agree. I just generally enjoying badmouthing the French. No offense to you specifically.

    What was Tim Connelly thinking. He wasn't. Danny Ainge helping the Lakers back to contention is mind blowing too. He ought to lose his Oregon Card for that alone.

    Yeah, but he is just not worth 36, 50, 54, and 58 million per year.

    This will help us sign scrubs in the future. They will know that Portland treated scrubs well in the past and they will want to sign with us?

    Rockets letting Silas go and are bringing in Scott Brooks to take a serious look at hiring him...he won a chip there in 94 as a player. I'd like to see Chauncey upgrade the assistant coaching position he leaves us in if they hire him

    Chauncey's staff needs some serious upgrading.

    Brooks has the most experience, but I'm not sure he's a 'good' coach.
    Roy Rogers has some street cred.
    Everyone else is fairly inexperienced.
    With Billups being a new HC, he really needs a much stronger staff to lean on.

    Rudy is suspended. Now LAL has a cake walk to the 7th spot. They will play MEM.

    I'm high so I thought Rudy Gobert didn't exist, and I was like "Rudy Fernandez is still playing?!"

    Okay I hear ya but let’s look at it closer? Maybe it continues to present this organization as a class organization and one that players of all caliber would be willing to sign with?
    You know unlike maybe when they had a GM that was a snake?

    My play-in predictions:

    Heat over Hawks, East 7th

    Wolves over Lakers, West 7th

    Raptors over Bulls

    Pelicans over Thunder

    Raptors over Hawks, East 8th

    Lakers over Pelicans, West 8th

    Now is this good or bad? If it’s good, I wish our blazers had somebody on our bench that did this. But if it’s bad like all his triple doubles, I’m content with our guys!
