    Teams firmly ahead of Blazers:
    Warriors
    Rockets
    Pelicans
    Jazz
    Lakers

    Teams Probably ahead of Blazers:
    T-Wolves
    OKC

    Same Level:
    Spurs
    Nuggets
    Mavs

    It might be time to rebuild... get as much young talent from Dame and CJ as possible for the Zach Collins era... there is just no realistic path forward and other team will only keep getting better over the next couple years while Blazers stayv the same or get worse

    Portland is still ahead of the Mavs....but the point is still valid especially for the teams in front of them. A healthy Butler probably has the TWolves ahead of the Blazers. Not sure if OKC is better or not just because....Westbrook.

    Still, I don't see them getting HCA this coming season without a lot more injury help like last year.

    No....and neither has anyone else watching an NBA game recently. :cheers:

    Can't wait for ABC/ESPN to shove the Lakers and Celtics in our faces as much as scheduling will allow. :beatinto:

    HCP is the hood ornament of S2. He leads us, though he has no sense of direction.

    Tykendo is a good poster. Please don't demean him in that way.

    Ayton moreso, but yeah, i think that will help, but they seem like they grossly underperformed last season, and they are mostly young guys that are growing together. tbh i like seeing those type of teams happen. it may not, but they should do noticeably better than last season.

    Ayton, Booker, Ariza, Bridges, Payton, Zhaire Smith, Josh Jackson - should be fun to watch

    As I’ve been saying for months, blow this mess up. Let’s grab a couple lottery picks before we get some of the pukes off the books. Why wait?

    Don't need a link for common knowledge.

    Also, you have my word. I've known him for a long time. I'd trust him to return my wallet should it ever fall out of my pocket, same goes for Marzy and Sly not to mention Hobbes and HomerLovesKoolaid. Also include hoopsjock and several others on that list.
