Yep, this what I was saying the other day in around the league. He changed his shot again after the bubble, so it’s even better than last year’s.
I think if he plays too good, they might match any offer.

You act as if this is a bad thing?

NO is bottom, as in dead last, in club revenue. I wanna see them give max contracts to Ingram, Ball & Zion.

To be clear their ownership group can probably pay that, but they'll be losing their financial rears on the profit end which usually displeases shareholders.

Realistically they'll have to sell one of those guys to keep two and have room to massage the rest of the roster.

I can see them getting a contender to take on Bledsoe; maybe easier said than done though.

Harden should have been suspended. Silver has no backbone.

I think that if they aren't sure about investing in Lonzo as their third option, they'd use Bledsoe as salary ballast to turn some of that trade arsenal they've built up into someone they were more convinced in as BI & Zion's third wheel.

Though I feel like Lonzo would probably be part of that trade as well unless the team they were trading with just didn't rate Lonzo very much.

Yes

Over on the GB a Portland fan and I are discussing whether the strip clubs here are to his standard.

Yes

rockets might want to move cj to another team for some other pieces though. he's not young either. wonder how much golden state wants to try to compete in steph's last years. they got assets. a cj/steph/and eventually klay lineup would be kinda crazy shooting wise.

If I’m the warriors, I’ll give up wiseman and a pick for CJ.

Steph
CJ
Klay
Draymond
Whocaresssss

I don't know if that'll age well...

Should age pretty well.

Agree to disagree.

If Harden joins Blazers this idiot ass team will definitely break the record for the least assists per game.Boy, imagine, Dame, CJ, Melo and Harden on the court. What a fiesta that would be

IMO, you're too small to come outta the west with that lineup especially since you're in the same division as the Lakers.

This current Portland team is like a first round exit at best. They should def go all in on Harden
