    Like how undrafted guys never make it in the league? Oh, wait... You just don't know without the benefit of hindsight. Go a step further and look at someone like Jalen Brunson. Not much of a prospect, developed into a very capable starter, then got his own team and turned into a legit star. The talent must have been there all along, but few of us were aware of it.

    People root for their hometown guys to make it, and it will be news if those borderline talents are getting a shot at trying out. There are plenty of Eubanks out there that wouldn't have had careers if not for being in the right place at the right time.

    First, sell jerseys for the team. Second, select a few fans from the stands each game who are wearing those jerseys.

    Third, sign them to 10-minute contracts, and put them in the game.

    If some random guy from Portland made that squad, I would totally tune in!! I could give a shit about some guy from Europe or D3 ball. I’d offer to make the local kid highlights in fact!

    Not only did I get an NBA League Pass subscription for being a Blazer season ticket holder, got another one for being a Remix season ticket holder.

    Here was the view as well from the preseason seats they comped me. They have not played a game yet and I am already happy with my purchase!

    Blazer games are blacked out. Will see if I am traveling if that still applies.
