    He might not but he will get at least as much or more that Crabbe got off the bench. That if he coming off the bench this year that hasn't been determined yet.

    Hark is pretty much dependent on others to set him up though on offense. I love how quickly he gets the ball up (and in) after receiving the pass in the post. And of course he is decent at the 3-ball. But his handles are still weak and creating his own shot won't happen very often. I anticipate his offense to be similar to Crabbe in the fact it will not be consistent. Even as a starter.

    The odds of that are fairly slim. Do you know what is a growing trend though? True Crime fanatics. From Netflix docs, mugs, t-shirts, to a billion podcasts.

    Start with simple online recipes and work from there. It's a basic lactic fermentation. No special equipment needed. I start with peppers, water, garlic, salt, and brown sugar blended up. The salt prevents harmful bacteria from growing and only the good bacteria can survive. Loosely cover and stir once a day. Once it is fermented to your liking, blend with vinegar, strain for seeds and bottle. That is the basics, but you can do so many things with it. I grew all the peppers for it this year. My red chilis will be ripe later this week, so I'll try another batch.

    I was thinking more like the Artic Monkeys need a new bass player. There is more snotty white teen angst in that picture than he knows what to do with.

    It looks like Harkless practice is free throw shooting. He looks comfortable this year shooting them.

    Thanks for the tips! I'm gonna have a nice pepper garden next year but for now I'll just go store bought or online ordering!

    Can Dame climb up to a definitive top 10 level this year? Outside of his shot, he looks better. Figured he'd topped out last year, maybe there's more there???

    Shooting on the wing, and Nurk inside (and setting picks) opens up so much for him.

    "Selling high" on Crabbe was getting nothing in return, other than a contract that's going to eat a couple million of cap space for the next 5 years? Ouch!

    We've been through this before on Crabbe. Hindsight is always 20/20. We rolled the dice thinking he would continue to improve, he didn't and it cost us a few mil in cap. It was worth the risk!

    Fun fact: Blazers have been up by at least 18 points in each of their first 3 preseason games

    game 1 max lead: 18
    game 2 max lead: 22
    game 3 max lead: dunno, but won by 28.

    At this point we dont know where his ceiling is he just keeps getting better and better (his per over his career is almost perfectly linear). I thought his ceiling was two seasons ago when he was @25ppg but last year he just did more. I expect him to be the same type of dude. Score a ton. Make shit happen for the offense. With Nurk on board not just setting picks but being a reliable roll man who can go get a bucket if you give the ball up. bro. He could have a MVP level season this year if we can stay healthy. It wont get him on the allstar team, but he could be 2nd team all nba again and top 5 mvp balloting.
