[Rapaz]

Fam, Max Strus is a nice piece for y’all. That’s good enough. Don’t set yourselves up for disappointment.

Lol man Metta I won't lie I dislike you so much right now (not on a serious level) over the last few days. Everytime I want to fantasize and hope we land Beal or Dame you've been the steady voice of truth on this forum. "You guys are hoping for a pipe dream, it's not happening, our cap situation this, yadi yadi yah". Everytime I fall asleep to dream and the dream gets juicy you slap me in the face to wake up lol. It's all good though. At least it tempers expectations and it's appreciated. Honestly even if we only end up adding two minimum guys in Pat Bev and Chrisitan Wood I'd be content. I'm really high on Christian Wood. End of the day everyday won't be Christmas (in terms of big additions) and you can't win or make the finals every year. I really want to see more of our younger guys in this order next season....Jovic, Cain, O. Robinson.

"Some" soccer players. Smh Flamengo are the best team this side of the Atlantic.

Would you trade Herro, Lowry, Oladipo and a future 1st for PG and Powell?

Yes. Gives us another legit scorer to pair with Jimmy and some scoring off the bench. Would just need to find a big to compliment Bam and it would be a solid off-season in my eyes.

Gimme Kawhi or PG

I'd definitely roll the dice and Kawhi.

Having Butler, getting kawhi is as redundant as having two steering wheels.

-SHULA

I meant to say on Kawhi*. I don't think it's redundant at all. Kawhi is a legit 3 level scorer.

It didn't work in LA and it won't work here. It's just not an efficient pairing with Kawhi/Butler in my eyes. I'd rather have a player w a different dimension.

Plus kawhis too crippled now

PG is on my wish list.. id do that trade so fast pending his physicals and id load manage him till the playoffs.. i know the clippers are going to have a firesale soon and theyll be looking for expirings.. pg has two years left on his contract which is fine for us

Cap specialist, question for you- when do we have to be under the 2nd apron?

Before the start of next season? Or after the end of next season?

Before the trade deadline

Tax is calculated at the end of the season. Players may be waived and stretched, for example, after the trade deadline.

Let's trade Bam and sell high. The bum can't even shoot a three lol. We've protected him long enough!

Unfortunately, last season we did not win the national championship, but we did get the big prize, the Libertadores. It's not perfect right now after selling Vini Jr, Lucas Paquetá, and others overseas. Gerson is back though.

Flamengo scores a ton of goals. Our keeper and defense are quite average unfortunately. Works in S. America but we lose to European teams in the World Championship of Clubs. It's pretty sad to be honest.

Just run it back.
I'm going to bed.

Uuuffff!!!! take of that what you will my peeps!!!!

Dame has stayed loyal to Portland his entire career. He answers a hypothetical question, reporters run around spreading he wants out & fans run w/ it & lose their minds. Nothing's changed. Dame is still loyal to Portland, good on him. Has nvr made any indication about leaving, let alone leaving to play in Miami, suddenly.

I say leave the cat alone. Let him be & let him & his organization navigate their way through this offseason. We don't stick our noses where it doesn't belong. You'll just irritate the situation the way Lillard looks in the vid.

The Trail Blazers have been loyal to Dame for his entire career. All he does is cash massive checks.

It speaks volumes that this guy is talking about how he just had his best season, and his team stunk again. The past two seasons have been the worst since he was a rookie, but he's measuring his worth by looking at his own stats.

[Rapaz]

Flamingo or whatever the phuk isn’t going to win you an NBA championship. Stay focused on the prize:

Bam for Scooty Scoot.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

PG would be great if he wasn’t made of glass, do we want to have Herro riding the bench in the playoffs with injury or PG? Won’t really change much tbh, some of these dudes are just straight pwussy.

The last CONMEBOL club to win a Club World Cup were Corinthians in 2012. UEFA Big 5 League clubs are just on another level. I would sell my soul to win a Libertadores. My club are 0-2 in Libertadores Finals. We've won 16 league titles, most in Ecuador, and we are by far the most popular club there as well. But we're missing La Gloria Eterna...
