OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JANUARY 2024

No cares what pop thinks when they’re a terrible team. They just want to see wemby play.

he’s not load managing a playoff shoo-in and experimenting with fabricio oberto in the starting lineup here. I think we all remember pop’s hof bonafides.

the criticism is valid—no one needs to give pop the benefit of the doubt on this except spurs fans.

#playwemby

it’s a pure idea that isn’t complicated. hell—even wemby agrees.

 

i dunno how more people aren't calling out their bullshit. wasting a perfectly healthy all star caliber season from the most unique player (arguably) ever to suit up just to tank. They must really trust wemby's long term health, but this is egregious in my mind.

even bill simmons blasted in his last broadcast.

 

if we want to center the debate around pop's elite decisionmaking, we can. i certainly remember midseason games at the rose garden when tim duncan was getting hot swapped for some 2nd round stashed euro i'd never heard of. but that's overcomplicating it wildly, imo, and missing the point.

when wemby is getting load managed and clearly being deprioritized in the offense and kept apart from tre jones quite deliberately (the only guy who knows how to do post-entry passing or throw a lob!) it's my opinion that the team should have to hear questions about it. a lot of questions. even if the team has his best interests in mind, they should have to hear questions.

because wemby belongs to everyone. he's fucking awesome.

 

Oh were you under the assumption I agree with how Pop is handling the situation?
I'd like to see Wemby play more as well. You asked why it was happening.

 

I'm in on Kuminga. They can have their pick for Kuminga. Or Jerami Grant, take their pick.

 

The guys on 1080 were talking about Miles Bridges having the highest chance of landing in Portland.

Does anyone want him here? I say no purely based on his personal record.

 

kind of hard to see that although I suppose a LaMelo + Ant back court might make a lot more sense than a Scoot + Ant back court

 

I do not want him or his girlfriend within billard ball throwing distance of Portland.

 

those fellers are so hopped up on football, they think having a big strong bruiser in Portland is exactly what this team needs. The Blazers don't have to hire a wife beating criminal to add strength into the lineup.

 

Yeah, there is no way in hell the Blazers would risk the PR nightmare that comes with it. Portland is a bad fit for many reasons

 

you implied it wasn't worth questioning pop 'because it's pop'.

it's worth questioning pop!

 

We need to go after Kuminga

 

Kuminga is attractive. How to nab him? Warriors are pretty desperate for a shot in the arm. Take back cp3 awful contract? Would they want Grant, Brogdon, Ant, or even Ayton? Of course they probably want Sharpe. I don’t know really what that team needs. Surely scoring help to lighten Steph’s load wouldn’t hurt.

 

If we were going to get Kuminga, wouldn't it have been better to do so when he was out of the rotation, and not now he's practically pushed Wiggins out of the rotation? You have to get the players before their teams get them playing well!

 

They're full of shit. He's literally the last player Brooklyn would trade. (And YES, of COURSE we would want him! He's an iron-man true two-way player with a great attitude!)

 

Didn't see this. Not sure we want a player who thinks he knows better than STEVE FUCKING KERR.

 

MB are the right initials. But wrong guy and wrong team

 

he wants out
