    Actually gives me confidence in our front office, that they tanked so hard, knowing what the prize was. We put ourselves in as good of a position as we could and missed. Thems the breaks.

    No. Watford was useless without the ball in his hands.
    I still liked him though.

    Warriors TV guy pronouncing Victor's last name as Wembanyana. Disrespect? Jealousy? Doesn't know how to say his last name? Weird.

    What happened to Scottie Barnes shooting? 50% on 3-pointers and 63% overall in the pre-season.

    No, I'd put Camara above them all. Didn't make sense to cut Watford at the time and I'd undo it if I could now. He's better than our 14th/15th man. Although with the blazers rebuilding his cheap contract has less upside here so probably irrelevant either way. It's much more damning on the value we wasted with Murray than the loss of Watford.

    I can’t wait to watch Watford on another team this year that isn’t the Blazers.

    There's no way that anyone can convince me that the league didn't engineer Wemby to the Spurs.

    You think the league wanted a unicorn on the Blazers or Charlotte (or any other teams)?

    The worst part of him going there is the insane smugness of Spurs fans comes back in full effect.

    We’ve never seen a player like Wembanyama. He’s gonna be the GOAT.

    I was a skeptic, but dude is changing my mind. Any team that wasn't an obvious playoff team last season that did NOT tank, was doing their fans a disservice. I am glad our management recognized the prize and gave it their best shot. He is a franchise changer, and we came so close.

    Not including all the shots they missed because they were afraid of getting blocked.
