It's really slow on my older Chromebox converted to Ubuntu. Starting Firefox would take longer than 30 seconds to start when on snap vs native binary.
Snap caused me to move my older PCs from Ubuntu to Debian or Linux Mint
Full NBA memo sent to all 30 teams regarding rhetoric on trade request made by Damian Lillard and his agent Aaron Goodwin.
I'm here praying to the Basketball gods that the injury is minor like what happened to Shaedon Sharpe last year.
All the Blazers had to do was hold on to the ball. Oh well, happy for Jabari.
Matisse Thybulle will sign a three-year contract offer sheet in the $33 million range with the Dallas Mavericks
Kinda funny how this whole drama was completely media generated. Lillard didnt ask for a trade, the Blazers wasnt shopping him. But a whole narrative was created to whip us all up in a frenzy.
DLo and Westbrook are the only 2 players that I see that most teams should avoid.
But also not sure Miami has enough of either.
That's the key right there. Portland has Lillard locked up for 4 more years. There is no hurry for the Blazers to send him away for pennies on the dollar. The only trade I'm willing to entertain is if Spoelstra is included in the deal. Lillard goes to Miami, Spoelstra comes home.
I am hoping that Dame stays. There is just no scenario outside of LeBron/ PG/ Kawhi forcing their way to Portland, that we are even in championship contention in the near term. But in 2 years… I truly believe we will be in contention with our current trajectory.
I think the likely scenario is that he stays. The assets we would require from the other team for Dame’s talent would carve/ hollow out that team. It’s not like Dame is expiring, or becoming a free agent, we have him for 4 more years! He can threaten to pout, but his best chance at a championship is still with Portland.
I want to see the rematch for Wemby vs Scoot. Looking forward to that July 9 game.
NBA DRAFT MEGA THREAD
I actually like the draft the Blazer have. Scoot is a great pick. Murray is a wing that can contribute now. And Rupert is a defensive steal, low risk second round steal.
Maybe we can convert a few guys. But this was great for the Blazers.
... Khris Middleton has declined his $40 million player option with the Milwaukee Bucks to become a free agent ...
Hearing Lillard and Scoot Henderson have been communicating regularly since the G League Ignite star’s workout in Portland...
lineup of Dame, Sharp, Brown, Grant, and Nurk is definitely an interesting 5
I think it an ideal lineup for Dame. Position 2 to 5 are all plus defenders, and each player is also not bad offensively.
I think the ideal trade for the blazers would be a three team trade.
Ant Simons + Portland's #3 -> Washington
Beal + Portland's #23 -> Boston
Brown -> Portland
Washington gets to rebuild quickly with a great player in Simons and with either Miller or Scoot.
Beal balances Boston's roster.
Brown is the defensive wing that Portland is looking for.
