    so this announcement rules out a S&T effectively.

    this is the roster we'll start with, for all intents and purposes.

    I’m good with this. Now can he stay healthy?
    Blazers need to get a solid backup but let’s all stay in the positive and hope Nurk flourishes with this new coach.

    Yup. This is our team. We'd have to basically dump players in 1:1 trades or throw Hart into the Detroit trade to free up space.

    Or a little more than he deserves but it's not bad. This roster construction is a head scratcher though. Not a lot of size.

    are you considering 8% raises? I was thinking 5%

    It'll be funny if it turns out Sharpe is actually as good as people (much smarter than Amin AL Hassin, whoever the hell that is) think.

    Yeah, why would we give 5% raises instead of the 8%?

    i think we're done. we don't really have any flexibility to make moves.

    Or a bit less than none if staying under luxury tax. Jody and Vulcan still run the team.

    We need another big. It's insane that we only have Nurk on the roster right now.

    Defense is better than last season. We have several players that defend bigger than their height would indicate.

    Toronto really needs to swap one of their PFs with one of our guards lol. It's like we're playing keep away from each other.

    I'm gonna get vilified for this but.....Anfernee for OG during the season....

    i thought 5% was maximum allowable. either way, starting salary around 15.5-16.2 mil. minor detail, won't affect us in anyway.
