Wait a minute.... That cant be true. All I ever hear is how great a draft evaluator Olshey is.:blink:
Also, Memphis only needs 1 win, or 1 loss each by Spurs, Phx, & Pels to clinch the #9 spot. In that scenario, Memphis and Suns will have the exact...
Kings are eliminated from #8 spot now. Portland needs 1 win (or 1 Kings loss) to eliminate them from the #9 position.
Blazers can get the #9 spot locked up with going 2-2 on the remaining games & having the Spurs/Suns loose 1 game a piece. Pels/Kings would need to...
Is it just me, or are the Spurs playing a LOT better without LMA in the lineup? Regardless, I hope the Jazz are able to pull this out today. I'd...
I'd honestly rotate Ben & Nurk as the roll man with Dame in the P&R. Dame's shooting ability & Ben's ball handling/decision making/ mid-range shot...
Swapping Simmons for CJ would significantly improve the team (primarily on the defensive side & generating more transition opportunities). Also...
So, does anyone know the hierarchy for determining who is #8, #9, #10? I'm assuming it goes like this: 1) Games back 2) winning percentage 3) head...
I'd be on board if I were comfortable that Simmons would develop range beyond 10' from the basket. Dame is best when he drives to the basket. Nurk...
That'd be a tough call. I'd be game for CJ+Simons+'20 1st. Any more than that, and I'm starting to get cold feet.
Fine with it for short periods. The issue is the energy expended Ding up the best player reduces his explosiveness on the offensive side of the...
It's really fairly simple... Just has to wait until the new 'season' begins. [ATTACH] On O, Ben would be PG, Dame as SG, & Trent as SF. On D, Dame...
I think so, but not 100%. The only way I'd see it prohibited is if the NBA did something to make the players signed to replace players opting out...
Blazers had an open roster spot when they signed Adams. He was signed to the #15 roster spot, making anything occurring with Ariza irrelevant.
Currently, no - we will not be able to extend him reasonably without maneuvering. Remember that Dame/CJ already take up ~65% of the cap & that Nurk...
There's an old school of thought that goes "How you practice is how you play". Given what we have seen from the Blazers "practice" games, it...
If you look at the all the current NBA coaches, and sort by their playoff record - he ranks out 18 of 24 (or bottom 25%). When you take out all the...
Agreed. Much better than calabro
Incorrect. Ariza is under contract for the '20-'21 season & its partially guaranteed. If Portland cuts him, he cannot be re-signed until after his...
1) The Blazers would not be allowed to re-sign him until the '21-'22 season (so using the MLE on him is irrelevant). 2) I think this is going to be...
