    We should have a roster of only guards.

    The lack of bigs in free agency was underwhelming but now more and more are getting cut so options are increasing.

    Marang’s tweet about Norm is gonna look really silly if he gets traded for Harden.

    one good thing about the Blazers losing so many games, is the JR podcast only turns on after wins.

    Jaxson Hayes is slow. His range is only 2 feet. Blazers already have a few of these players.

    Blazers actually have 0 bigs that are slow with little range, although maybe they resign Eubanks. Still need someone else take than 6'8" on the roster.

    Nurk is slow and can’t consistently make a fucking lay up

    Nurk has range so doesn't fit that posts criteria.

    With Nurk limited minutes and risk of injury Blazers certainly need to sign a decent backup big; regardless of Eubanks.

    His defensive metrics are definitely better than his offensive numbers, and he's averaged about 8 reb/36 for his career, so he's decent.

    Not familiar with his game, but he did shoot 38% last year on 3s.
    I would be more concerned with his poor FT shooting

    I believe he was referring to Nurkic

    Oh I see. In that case, he shot 36% from 3 last year. Who cares what his career average is since he barely shot them in his first 6 years?
