    Making the playin would be entertaining. Making the playoffs would be successful. The west is brutal in no way am I looking beyond that.

    2027 draft sounds epically weak. In theory from asset management perspective it would be best for Blazers to miss the playoffs, keep their 2026 pick then make playoffs in 2027. We'd then retain full 2028 pick and Bucks swap.

    I'm fine with making the playoffs though next season. That should be the goal, and if we miss just look at the pick as a consolidation prize.

    I would like to see us in the playin also just to get some "postseason" experience for our youth.

    Well, at least he listed the top 10 correctly.
    Just not too sure about the starters.

    Shit, I’d say we would need to be “incredibly lucky” just to get IN the playoffs let alone WIN something.

    Watch us bust out ass and JUST miss the play-in…..fun exciting season. Then instead of the 14th pick, we are rewarded by the league and we launch up and get the kid from BYU!
