    nothing like complaining about non-issues. Shaedon had the 3rd most minutes on the team last year, Scoot the 5th... both played far more minutes then Grant or Ayton. Rookie Clingan played far more then anyone predicted averaging 20 per. The young core was hardly just sitting on the bench.

    Nor should they. They’ve been a disgrace with four straight years of tanking. They deserved to get moved back in the lottery.

    The conspiracy people on here seriously need to get a hobby/job/new inflatable partner or all of the above. How do you have that much time in your life to truly sit back and think this? #ClownTown #TinFoil

    Your attitude about this shit is strait up childish. Do you remember when the Mavs pulled the most blatant in game tank to stay out of the playoffs and retain their pick a couple of seasons ago??? The Spurs were obviously tanking when they got Wemby. So why the fuck does our team "deserve" worse draft position for doing the common sense thing by pursuing long term goals in a strategic manner... is it because that doesn't pass your personal purity test? Grow up dude.

    Edit: Oh and by the way, we didn't fucking tank this season but by all means continue this foolishness.

    We tanked a smidge but only at weird times.

    It's true but we definitely didn't overall tank our record this season... only our chances of insuring having the best pick possible. Yet @Bingo Bango drones on.

    Remove one potential lottery selection from this year and add him to 2026.

    Good point. Do we know who called for Camara and Deni? Im leaning Mike, but I don't know.

    I've never understood how people try to give the Blazers a ton of credit for Camara ... I mean we passed on him tons of times when he was a late 2nd round pick.

    Certainly get some credit for having him thrown into the Ayton deal later that summer. But if we were real high on him we'd have got him back at the draft.

    Kind of like the Draymond - Golden State story. They passed on him a bunch of times.

    How long has Mike been with the team? Im not sure. Before or after those previous opportunities? I think he was brought on the year before last?
