@drsbaitso1969 @JCigan @thomast1908 @JabariJYoung There was no brain directing the team, it was a directionless zombie team. They pivoted almost every year on the direction of the team. Sure there are a lot of reasons to be excited, but Jody really didn't do much.

The #Blazers are in joke territory. And that happens with new owners. They come in thinking they know it all as they’ve been successful in business, and learn the hard way. See Tom Gores (he’s finally figured it out). Mat Ishbia (still learning) Steve Ballmer actually did it the right way; just had bad luck (injuries)

Rahsaan Gethers, VP of Basketball Communications with the Portland Trail Blazers, was part of the mass layoffs made by the team yesterday. Very talented PR guru who was respected by the players and coaches alike and also had a productive working relationship with the media.

@JCigan @thomast1908 @JabariJYoung The blazers went to the wcf her first season in control, it wasn't a time to rebuild. She didn't sell the team for 7.5 years and had zero interviews about the team and no direction and virtually no input. Her neglegence turned it into a zombie franchise.

@thomast1908 @JabariJYoung Huh? Jody and Bert happening to inherit ownership during a time it was logical to rebuild isn’t on them. And they sold a team on its way to a playoff berth 🤷🏻‍♂️

@corvusglaive19 @blazerbanter Sure it's very annoying, but no way it's ten times more annoying, landing Wmby after Duncan to virtually not miss a beat is extremely annoying

@WardMikeward868 @blazerbanter No I’m saying landign the goat is one thing but being gifted another lkkely superstar talent just one year later is just Salt in the wound to non spurs fans ! They moved up seven spots unlike wemby where they where tier for Best odds

@WardMikeward868 @blazerbanter Fair enough winning the wemby lottery is uber lucky but to top it off the next year they get pick 2 whidh gives them a chance to draft a better prospect then jazz, nets ,wizards have had a chance to draft in four years of tanking! It compound the perceived unfairness

@fentrocity @ToreyJonesYT Scouting is more than just draft picks, I read somewhere we didn't send any scouts to the possible round 2 match up. Furthermore Smitz probably had input on the value of the draft picks traded to get Deni whom he liked.

Our scouting has yielded us: Shaedon Sharpe (anticipated range) Jabari Walker (gone for free) Scoot Henderson (anticipated range) Kris Murray (woof) Rayan Rupert (gone for free) Donovan Clingan (good pick) Honorable mention: passing on Toumani Camara. There are only so many picks to make, and our around the margins drafting has been relatively inconsequential. Could see a desire to cut back on that focus if it’s not yielding results.

@corvusglaive19 @blazerbanter Them tanking for Duncan and then Wemby and setting themselves up for 20 plus years with that is way more frustrating. Harper is great, but man, it's looking like Wemby's league for a very long time.

@WardMikeward868 @blazerbanter Getting the lucky pick for wemby is one thing but getting pick 2 the very next year despite having the 7Th or 8th best Lottery odds is arguably more frustrating for non spurs fans

@ablaze_rell @35gcs @NoTechBen They would probably want him to agree to an extension l, so he'd get flak unless they try the Kahwai/Toronto route, I guess OKC tried it before with PG or Melo right?

OKC has always been the play for a Giannis trade, and in retrospect, waiting until it became obvious the Thunder needed the one guy in the league who can match up with Wemby was the right move. It's good for Giannis too: if he wins he'll get the credit he deserves.

@leroy_J_ @Palmierijoe13 @BlazerFreeman Splitter is great as a person of course and should continue coaching, but there were odd rotations, admittedly a lack of plays, and a serious lack of halftime adjustments etc.. So did he carry or was he carried to the playoffs? What a things did he excell at? Defensive effort?

@Palmierijoe13 @BlazerFreeman I'm not sure Tiago did that great of a job that's a pretty talented roster. There were a lot of head scratching moments. And I'd bet when it came to challenging plays the blazers had the worst success rate in the NBA.

@_JasonLT How would healthy AD / healthy Embid rank compared to Giannis? Assume they'd be your top three choices?

@WardMikeward868 @shaesharpeshow SA will never let that man leave. He's a Spur for life. There's nothing they can get in return that would beat his playmaking/scoring. Literally no one in the NCAA/college pipeline rn can come close. No one.

@shaesharpeshow People said that exact thing when Lebron got in the league. You better prepare yourself for another decade plus long run with him there in SA. Just get used to having to gameplan around him.

@cybrtrkguy I get late and hard breaking often, i have to intervene, I don't trust for this and anything near pedestrians yet, it's probably safe but very jerky and overly hesitant or just unaware. Tricky intersections get messed up at times as well.

Curious your thoughts on this one. FSD did not react at all to vehicles squealing their tires and swerving out of the way. This is a pinch point in the highway where two lanes merge. I mashed the brakes to avoid being involved in the mess, which allowed another driver to use my spot to avoid a potential rear ending. I saw folks slamming the brakes far earlier than I pressed the brakes and waited for FSD to react. It did not.

Terry Stotts is reportedly trying to return to Portland as a head coach, per @TheSteinLine “Former Blazers head coach Terry Stotts is indeed trying to get the Portland job for the second time after leaving his post this week as an assistant on Steve Kerr's Golden State staff. Stotts acknowledged as much in the below conversation with longtime Portland columnist Dwight Jaynes via Jaynes' own Substack:” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)
