@Delejnr007 @thatguyuptown What in the world would the environmental left want for the future of energy if not nuclear?
English
@thatguyuptown She’s going to get push back by the environmental left but she needs to stay solid on this issue

has anyone in public life ever gone from embarrassingly mediocre to locked the FUCK in like this before?

@5thandBroadway @WiscoGrant People are not out and about at night in winter in most of the country
English
@WiscoGrant AND the sun sets later....why is everyone missing this most important aspect. Who cares about 9am sunrise. More sun at night...when people are actually out and about.

i've always wanted the sun to rise at 8:45AM in the dead of winter, happy our elected officials are finally tackling this one

@leNBAyb @UofBasketball Clearly 4th is crazy work. He’s second youngest and he’s already a top playmaker in the league, at worst a top 15 defender (while I think he’s top 10) and the continues to take huge strides.

@_kaboosky @IshmaelRJohnson He’s not an elite athlete for a professional footballer
English
@IshmaelRJohnson What? Trossard is also extremely quick, fast and has a powerful right foot?
Are you trying to say trossard is not an athlete????
English
Leandro Trossard is 5'8, 145 pounds soaking wet and just cooked Sergino Dest, who, on paper, would be touted as a better "athlete".
Youri Tielemans is 5'9 and may run a slower 40 than most P4 offensive linemen and controlled the entire match.
Tired trope is tired.

@hoopsjock Shaedon needs to be telling him what to do. That’s his job as the guy guarding the screener. Then he needs to be in a position to switch if Jerami does get screened. Which he does and Shaedon is not in position.
English
But let's pretend he should be face guarding Wemby for some reason. If Jerami knows it's a curl screen for Wemby, why would he (or anyone) go OVER the screen. If he goes under he could cut Wemby off.
Shaedon is actually playing this correctly. He leaves space for Grant...
English
What I'm about to say is not absolving Shae for standing there. He should have more awareness than this and once the play breaks down, he has to help.
However, it pisses me off that people don't realize this is actually Jerami's fault, not Shae's...
Sahal Arwo@TwoForOneTalk
It was this play in particular where I realized the writing might be on the wall for Shaedon Sharpe’s days in Portland. Not because of the outcome, but because of the lapse of focus, something that isn’t new to Shaedon. It has never been a talent issue. Sharpe has all the skill and athleticism to become an All-Star caliber guard. It’s always been the mental side of putting it all together and playing with purpose that hasn’t quite clicked. Twenty points per game is impressive, but when you factor in the subpar shooting splits, turnovers, and tendency to settle for difficult, low-percentage shots, it doesn’t translate to winning as much as you’d hope. That became evident in the postseason, where he could barely stay on the floor. When his shot isn’t falling and he isn’t getting to the line, it’s hard to point to the trait that keeps him on the court in big moments. Scoot has his defense and improving playmaking. Jrue has his defense and playmaking. Ja has elite playmaking. Dame commands defensive attention even when he isn’t making shots. More importantly, all four consistently bring the effort and energy needed to win. Shaedon isn’t a great defender, isn’t a great facilitator, and at times can be overly nonchalant when all you want is for him to play with the energy you know he possesses. We’ve seen careers like Zach LaVine’s, and so far Jalen Green’s, where the scoring is undeniable but the traits needed to consistently play winning basketball just aren’t there. Shaedon’s only 23 and has dealt with injuries, so maybe a change of scenery is exactly what he needs. But with the timeline catching up, he feels like the most movable piece to solve Portland’s backcourt congestion. #RipCity

I genuinely believe Joe doesn't plan on using the MLE. He will just sign another minimum guy and call it an offseason

@NBA_Scout_AI @jeff_on_sports Do you think the tracking AI is ever something that’s gonna become publicly available?
English
@jeff_on_sports Agreed. I built a metric the defines versatility that I'll be able to automate once those APIs become available. It incorporates a lot of attributes from the major catch alls and adds to them.
The tracking AI is definitely a huge missing piece.
English
To be clear I think RAPM is super cool and a brilliant creation. But a stat that shows Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso as the 5th/6th most impactful players has problems. It does emphasize the elite for the two in OKC, and strong proof OKC shouldn’t consider trading either
English
@nation_sy @lockedupjb No shot they trading Jrue and Canara that’s both of their good on ball defenders lol. Camara can be 6th man on a Dame/Ja/JB/Deni/Clingan team
English
@lockedupjb I think they are including camara as well cuz they getting JB at SF position, blazers must bend the knee if they want to this trade to happen
English
@Jerichoblaz06 @NickCRadio A deal doesn’t happen without clingan, you do not get a top 10 player for scraps
English
This type of deal would make sense:
- C's get their young big and take a swing on Sharpe
- POR gets off the Grant money, receives JB & a young wing
- C's get three 1st Rd picks instead of four
- POR acquiesces on the third 1st, b/c it's returning Boston's
Nick Cattles@NickCRadio
What we've heard about a possible Jaylen Brown to Blazers deal: - The C's are looking for a big & draft capital - POR has a TON of draft capital & Donovan Clingan - POR would "prefer to keep" Clingan - POR hasn't put Toumani Camara on the table...yet - POR would prefer to deal Shaedon Sharpe & Scoot Henderson It seems like Portland is the most likely JB destination and is holding back on putting Camara and/or Clingan in the deal, until the C's lower their ask on picks/swaps. They should be able to meet in the middle, IF they're both motivated.
English
@CFCNightly @DannyMarang Dame and Drew don’t have time to wait for picks in 28 and 30. Plus Deni is going to need a contract by then. We are in a unique situation where he have a bunch of guys on great value contracts. Now is the time to make a move like this.
English
@DannyMarang Am I crazy for thinking this deal is incredibly stupid? Wouldn’t we be better off with a shit ton of picks? JB is 29 and we clearly won’t ve spending in the luxury tax any time soon. Boston is a well run franchise, they are selling for a reason
English
What’s been expressed to me - as it pertains to a Jaylen Brown deal - I don’t expect Deni/Clingan/Camara would be in those talks.
Grant/Sharpe/Henderson and any/all draft capital - that’s the pot I believe they’re working with.
English
@srodg2 @JWeinbachNBA I do not believe there is any chance a Brad Stevens team is going to employ Herro.
English
A potential trade package from the Blazers for Jaylen Brown:
Shaedon Sharpe
Jerami Grant
2027 first-round pick (via POR)
2028 first-round pick (via ORL)
2029 first-round pick (most favorable of POR/BOS/MIL)
2030 first-round pick swap (via POR/MIL)
English
@DreBob0 💯 fully agree, that’s the move. We need our Mikal and OG type guys
English
Here’s where I’m at. Jaylen would make us better. But he’d do so by doubling down on our existing strengths. Our weak points on O are, in order, turnovers, 3P shooting, and shot creation. He helps with only 1 of those 3. I’ll embrace it if we get him, but I’m deeply skeptical.
JayTakes@SportsWithJay0
Shams dropping more on a potential Jaylen Brown trade: “Majority of Boston’s conversations have been with Western Conference teams. Portland has had a lot of interest in Jaylen Brown — and they have a ton of draft capital.” Could we actually see a Dame + JB duo in Portland? 🔥
English
@TVC_Scouting @JWeinbachNBA Clingan is worth more than those two picks. Like you hope one of those picks in years becomes a player like Clingan is now.
English
@JWeinbachNBA I rather have Donovan Clingan along with Shaedon Sharpe, Jerami Grant, and 1 or 2 picks than asking for 4 picks
English
@JWeinbachNBA Would make sense if the C's were tanking the roster but they aren't. They'll likely be hanging onto Brown if this is all they're being offered.
English
@kelzs1 @RabbiStevenG “Brainwashed kids” like everybody who doesn’t have their daddy to get them a job isn’t getting fucked rn. Why would we not want change and electives who at the very least seem to actually care about ur our interests? All the current dems have done is let Trump get 2 terms lol.
English
The sad part is that we have a generation of brainwashed kids who think socialism is the best way to go. Someone has to convince them that it’s not. I hope you’ll reach out to people in Congress and the Senate. They have to push these people away. Our country will not be safe if we don’t have two sane parties.

If the Democrats nominate someone from the Mamdani wing and the Republicans nominate Rubio or Haley in 2028, I’d vote for Republican for President for the first time, unimaginable for me as a liberal and delegate to three DNCs. I’d vote for the survival of the Jewish people.
English
@ScaryBledsoe @proxct @emmettmccleary @503Blazerfans @ZachGatsby Lamelo went for Naz Reid like 1 pick and bad swaps lol
English
@proxct @emmettmccleary @503Blazerfans @ZachGatsby Then you’re not actually “significantly interested” in the player.
It’s nice to want things but if guys like Desmond Bane, Mikal Bridges & LaMelo Ball are going for 4-7 picks then you guys better wake up to reality of what it’s gonna cost 😂

@Councilman303 @sydneyjowray Blazers owner who just spent billions on team shouldn’t be making renovations for an arena that hosts plenty of other events outside of the blazers. Especially when the city got it for a $1 and the land for $7 million.
English
@sydneyjowray you lived in a city with weak politicians. can’t cave every time some billionaire comes for handouts
English
not a billionaire defender but y'all the city owns the arena and Portland needs the arena to be modernized not only for the Blazers, but also for the Fire and for major tours to want to come here.
I've lived in a city that lost a major team. you do not want to go through that.
Front Office Sports@FOS
Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon wants taxpayers to pay the entire $600 million bill for the team's arena renovations. “It feels like we’re making a pretty big investment by staying here and paying these tax rates," the billionaire said this week in Portland.
