We're tanking so hard and with so little talent it's likely only a 2nd rounder will get sent to them so it's the right move to instead keep a for sure 1st. Problem was we drafted a dud.
If that's the plan why sign Thybulle? This team makes such bizarre moves you can't ever fit it into a consistent plan. We're now over the tax, (which you know we will duck) so the team will have to do some dumb trade like give Ant or Brogdon away for scraps, or send out a draft pick. Impressive we can get enough shitty contracts to be in the tax with 21 wins.
when Jody Allen gets another massive TV revenue sharing check from the NBA, this roster will make sense. Cronin created a Vulcan atm machine by straddling the luxury tax, and getting only 1 game on national TV.
Thybulle came cheap and he's well like by fans because of his scrappy d. Again, must keep up enough to keep fans interest and coming to games. They will ride the fence again as long as fans keep going and watching.
There is no "plan." Our GM has no business having this much responsibility and our owner doesn't exist/care.
If they would only sell the team to a fan forum like S2. Tap into the brilliant critical thinkers in here...that's the ticket.
We have already started this conversation here on S-2. @SlyPokerDog has appointed me the trustee. You can Venmo me your portion of the down payment. Or you can simply give me your account number and all your pertinent information and I will set up a direct deposit?
Thought I have read that if we don't give them a pick by 2027, and we somehow make the playoffs by then (which we would hope so since the Bucks will be garbage by then for our pick swap) we could lose out on being able to do the pick swap.
Best player today on the floor for a #2 seed that's about to go up 2-0 Could argue he'd have been the best player on our roster if we kept him, although that's not saying much.
there is no doubt Josh was a team captain in Portland. Blazers were not good at rebounding in 22'23. When Portland traded their scrappiest rebounder midseason, it added a nitro boost to the ping pong ball.
Entire Knicks team plays like Josh Hart. So fun to watch. I remember the Blazers having some grit with that 1999 team that was 10 deep with Sheed off the bench. Been a long time since we've had real hustle for this franchise.
