Forgot about the edible I ate an hour ago. Cool.
Kareem is in the house. Bad ***.

Scoot Henderson can be this drafts Michael Jordan, karmically balancing out Portland’s Sam Bowie

Wemby overrated.

Seeing as mark jones is pulling a muscle every time he tries to say his whole last name, Wemby might be for the best

He’s going to be pushed around. Also, his pocket is going to get picked routinely.

Kareem was there wearing a "Kareem vs Bruce" shirt with a drawn image of himself and Bruce Lee kicking toward each other in battle.
Legend.Mark Jones did work in a "NBA stands for never broke again" line during the 1st half.

He’ll be a fantastic shot blocker from the start, but, otherwise he wasn’t impressive at all. He has a long way to go.

That three point block was really nice. Biggest thing I noticed was just needing more aggression on fighting through screens or finishing at rim.
Season is a long way away though, it's just summer league.

I was impressed with what I saw from Amen as well. Great vision, nice motor and some nifty passes. I think this team is going to be much improved under Udoka, maybe even beat Minnesota in a play in game.

Injuries aside, Chet > Wemby. Looking forward to seeing those two face each other..

I know it’s what we do here but I think it might be a little early to judge Wemby since he was playing with guys he met an hour before game time and with a team that only had two plays on offense for the whole game.
That said, it’s never too early to start hearing MVP chants for Max Christie.

OK, I’m wrong. Britney fans destroying Wemby online has been pretty funny tonight.

Obviously nobody serious is judging after 1 game, but I'm guessing Victor is probably already rethinking his "I don't need to get bigger" comments from a few weeks ago.
Any physical contact at all completely stopped his momentum and made him turn his back to the basket.
And yeah, you do wonder if at some point, you're just too tall and long to beat NBA athletes off the bounce with fancy dribble moves. The ball has LONG way to go when he tries to cross people over.

He said he was tired and needs more conditioning. Which means he may actually lose weight …. He needs like 100lbs of muscle.

Correct, but they were also both "on the ball" players. The first year they played well, but it was an uneven season as they started 9-8. Spo really didn't "figure them out" until after the loss to Dallas.

I am still not sure what really happened there, but as someone who was huge for years and have to have had her own security detail, you would think she'd know better than to run up on someone with security and make contact in any way (even if it was just a tap on the shoulder). The security guys, who are going to have no idea what someone's intention is who does something like that, are naturally going to protect the client quickly and aggressively; that is what they are paid to do.

oh come on
Have you seen the video? It's a big nothing-burger.
Brittney taps him from behind, security swats her arm away, and her own arm hits her in the face.

And then she calls the police and puts out a dramatic statement on her IG. She is not mentally stable at all right now. Go look at all of her recent posts.

Woj: One of the terms of the offer sheet provides a unique twist: The first season of the contract is fully guaranteed and the two following become guaranteed for $15.7 million if Reed’s team advances to conference semi-finals in the 2023-24 season, sources said.

That was an awesome way to make it less likely Sixers match. Although with all the role players they keep losing, is it as likely the Sixers make it to the second round this year anyway?

Neil Olshay set the Blazers back by refusing to part with CJ to get Dame some help. He also botched the draft by taking more guards and he really really really thought Zach Collins was the missing ingredient. Olshay was stubborn, combative and will probably never get another NBA job again. He also made horrendous FA signings and gave big money to jokes like Myers Lemon and Alan Crabbs. Joe Cronin has had to clean up his mess and now is in a Mexican standoff with an agent and player who are way above his depth.
And add to the fun rudderless ownership that is in no hurry to sell the team to a group that cares. Jody Allen sucks. She should be in jail for sexual harassment but we have different systems of justice for billionaires.
This is a mess. Nothing is going to happen today or tomorrow except growing frustration and building resentment. Fans are already fatigued and I don't expect many butts in seats this season. Especially now that Scoot is damaged goods apparently. In less than two months, the Ducks and Beavers will take all the attention away from basketball here.
Best we can hope for is a 19 win season and a shot at the #1 pick. By then, perhaps Jodi will agree to sell and Phil Knight is the buyer. A good owner helps so much. An owner who cares and leads. Until then, expect ambivalence from us.

So Wiseman got traded for 4 second rounders at the deadline. Is Wembanyama there yet?

Love the move for Suns on minimum deal. Probably end of bench guy but has shown upside and only 23.
They've done a good job building on a bunch of minimum salary deals. And it's a great move prioritizing younger guys as well (vets are likely to come available down the road/on the street)

They’re going to need nfl-sized 53 man rosters. They currently have 22 players on their roster.

I like that bet. Just hoping we get a full year from him.
Solely based on last night, Amen at +2900 seems like a nice long shot even with FVV. Sure his odds have increased though.

I googled Bradley but had no idea what happened to him recently. Really sad to see him like this

Dame, Clyde and Walton are all in the running for best Blazer of all time. Not going to rank them but.....
Brandon Roy deserves a seat at the table. If we're going to bring up Walton's injuries and "coulda beens" then we for sure need to bring Roy into this conversation. He was a ****ing badasssssss who gave Portland everything he had until he broke beyond repair. He sunk into major depression over it. That guy will always be my favorite Blazer and I love Dame. But Roy was the leader this team needed and gave the city all that he had. Love him.
