    Always have love for Kenny. He was the first dude to buy out an entire section of the rose garden for kids. And then other players did it and it continued for years.

    Zach gets and extension of 2 years for 35 million nice to see him getting his share of the money.

    But don't you know that they have the ONE player to solve Wembanyama?

    Spurs to ZC, “Zach, your job is being a red-@$$ at center and keeping Wemby healthy. Got it? Here’s your bag.”

    im a massive bclarke fan, just love how he plays - plays hard, runs the floor well, great athleticism, trash bucket cleanuper, high fg%, rebounds, plays D and doesnt try to be more than his strengths.

    Very quick leaper. I wonder if the injury will hurt that.

    As long as TNT doesn't lose a night, I'm ok with Amazon getting games.

    So Norman Powell will get more than 20 minutes a night and Robert Covington will get more than 15 minutes a night on a playoff team, we likely won't get the second rounder in 2025 and both Winslow and Johnson have been waived from teams in the last few days.

    I like what Joe is doing with the rebuild but anyone who tells me that he did everything he could to build a winner around Dame is either delusional or related to him. The trade for Jerami still doesn't make sense with the obvious youth rebuild but every other move taken to its totality was clearly meant to induce a trade request from the best Blazers player of all time.

    It's cool, it's cool. I'm all on board with Scoot, Shaedon and the rest for our youth rebuild but I'll probably always hate Joe just a little bit for forcing Dame out and being two faced to us and the media about it at the same time.

    He had to cleanup the mess from the previous administration.

    I don't believe Joe intentionally made moves to encourage Dame to ask out when he took over as GM.

    I believe he tried his best to build a winner around Dame.

    Scoot falling to us changed the ballgame.

    What happens if the Trail Blazers don't draft Scoot Henderson, and instead draft Brandon Miller, Amen Thompson, or Ausar Thompson?

    What happens if the Blazers draft Victor Wembanyama?

    Why did Cronin draft a 22-year-old, now 23 years old, with the 23rd pick if the plan was to go young and draft for potential? That one is a head-scratcher. It only makes sense if the plan was for Dame to stay.

    I think it goes back further than that. 2022 draft gave us Sharpe but he was obviously a huge project. Remember they sent dame to that draft. Remember the look on his face as the Blazers got the 7th pick.

    I posted the same article earlier. They are talking about the next round of media rights negotiations in 2025. To sum it up the NBA is likely open to both linear tv and streaming
