2023-24 Trail Blazers

I find it hard to believe that Jarbari Walker is only 200 lbs. He looks bigger to me.

 

Like this, he can get up for a rebound then start the break and either finish it himself or make the pass. Sharpe can do a lot of things well, and some of them very well. He does need the opportunities to show it with the ball in his hands.

 

Shae is looking really good; I definitely want him to play 30 mpg, get used to starter level minutes, regardless of where he starts the game. Same with Scoot; 30 minutes a game, hopefully a lot with Shae.

 

Douglas Fur got a makeover or was replaced.

This season



Last season

 

hmm…

Apropos of nothing, if The Blazers move to Seattle, would they use the Sonics history or the Blazers?

 

I believe the original was traded to Milwaukee along with Dame. I think that was part of the "Other Considerations" in the trade.

 

WOW his passing was impressive. Just gotta let this guy go out and play.

Scoot (30)/Brogdon (18)
Ant (34)/Brogdon (10)/Thybulle (4)
Thybulle (18)/Sharpe (30)

Let Shae go out there and give him the responsibility to create for others. Brogdon is a steady vet who can always take the ball handling possibilities over if Shae is really struggling.

16/4/4 with an improvement on efficiency and competing for 6MOY would be a successful season to me.

 

I actually quite like the idea of Shae coming off the bench now, as long as he gets 30mpg. Between Scoot, Ant, Grant, and DA, there’s already four scorers starting. So maybe it’s better to let Thybulle play the Sefalosha role, and Shae can come off the bench and do a bit of everything, a-la James Harden.

I’m going to not have any expectations of him on defense until next season. Despite being raw, he surpassed any expectations we had of him from June ‘22. Even if SF isn’t where his skills be maximized best, it doesn’t hurt for him to spend a year guarding guys bigger than him, especially forwards coming off the bench.

 

Nets Waive Darius Bazley

The Brooklyn Nets have waived Darius Bazley.

Bazley averaged 5.7 points and 6.3 rebounds on 42.9 percent three-point shooting for the Nets in preseason.

Bazley is expected to receive interest in free agency.

SHAMS CHARANIA/THE ATHLETIC

 

Picking him up on a flyer would be awesome if we have the ability to do so

 

That’s a Wookie.

 

Portland could claim his rights off waivers.
They have the ability to get him... the question is will they?

 

Dr. Shae is so nice.

 

"We have to focus on the day-to-day with such a young team and getting better every day."

 

"Favorite practice of maybe three years."
