I almost always agree with you, but not here. I think we should be trying to win, and that we are trying to win. Being competitive is the best message to send to Scoot.
a similar question was asked. the only thing i was interested in hearing from Joe is about tanking allegations going public.
"Excuse me, John, Inconcievable from S2... yes, are you a good liar? And if so, can you tell me a convincing lie?"
There's no way this team is going to try to lose. IMO, it's not even set up very well to guarantee losses.
If I were Joe I'd answer by asking "what is your source?" The reporters answer would be Joe's answer.
Jerami revealed that he has been asked by the team about playing the 3. Hmm. That suggests they're possibly considering going super big with him/Williams/Ayton.
It sounded like Chauncey has a pretty good relationship with Brogdon. I wonder if that factors in at all.
Of course. Makes a big difference. Just like Dame with Terry in Milwaukee. Familiarity and relationship is huge factor.
That may have been prior to the Boston trade. They may have asked when considering other offers for Dame. Either way, I think it will be situational....like against the Lakers
Yeah saw him in person at summer league he is crazy thin. Just don't see his body type contributing in the NBA. Sill more intrigued than Badji though - that guy is a total waste of a roster spot.
I wonder if they think playing Williams at the 4 will ease some of his wear and tear, kind of like letting Joel lose his bulk to play lean.
I listened to Nurk's presser here in Phoenix. He was very respectful of Portland. Said he loved his time in Portland, learned a lot and was ready for the warm weather in Phoenix. Said something along the lines of "if anyone knows me, they know I love warm weather." Will be happy to play any role the Suns have for him. Knows it is a loaded team built for the long haul. Former Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowler Ron Wolfly was asking the majority of the questions. He was more interested in Nurks weight. Nurk said he is at 280, which is his target and preferred weight. Wolfly said he would love him at 290. They laughed and Nurk said that can be achieved in one meal. Wolfly was trying to get Nurk to talk about Ayton but he was having none of that. Said he is not here to replace anyone, just to do his job. It was the usual softball interview. Drew coming up soon.
Didn't Ayton say that he thinks he's actually a power forward? Might be Grant/Ayton/Williams I really hope not though.
Just now listening to these pressers…… I think I saw on here some people post about Matisse and feeling like he didn’t want to be here by the way he was answering questions….no way FAMS! Thats him, that’s his demeanor. This dude is different and he might be my favorite Blazer right now. The guy is just eloquent in how he handles life. Polite, well spoken……great fucking dude and I will forever be a fan! I think I posted on here how we met once we acquired him. Towards the end of the season in NOLA. I was walking along the river catching the sunset and look up and he is literally sitting under a tree reading a book of poetry. Chatted for a bit…..he is good people and I hope he is a Blazer for a long time.
