    Due to 11pm mush brain, I say something patently untrue in the middle of the episode. The Trail Blazers won’t have to make any NBA players inactive against Denver. There are 13 active roster spots. Nothing to worry about there. My bad 🎉

  3. @TheodoreWeiser

    Deni > LMA? That is an interesting question. I'm not sure if that is true, but the fact that it is a reasonable take is awesome for us

  4. @mckmitten4126

    If I were the blazers GM, I would cut Ryan Rupert, Kris Murray, and Matisse Thybulle. Or look for trades in the off season. Rupert is from what I seen decent, but doesn’t give + minutes. Murray is a hit or miss game to game, and Thybulle just doesn’t play enough. I’m not saying we need to sign both Caleb, and Sidy. But would definitely sign Sidy and consider Love and even look for trades in the off season.

  6. @J-Macs

    Sidy's development has been really fun to watch this season, I think Kris's size and length still make him a more valuable defender and they both score or lack thereof the same amount, Sidy does make louder shots though at times that matter. Good/Bad it's good Sidy's learning from the best but sometimes Sidy is a bit too toumani but he doesn't quite understand the dark art of selling calls so he just ends up flopping a lot and I think that hinders how Toumani is able to sell/highlight legitimate fouls he receives

  7. @JimWinslow-pw5sk

    I think building talent through the draft is essential. Yes you need to make some big trades at some point. But look at the Clippers who traded SGA after one season. BTW if you want to support local journalism, support this show.

    Jrue, Blake, Tisse, Tou, Rob. Give me the full court terror lineup! It doesn’t matter if you can’t shoot if you score all your points on pick-6 layups!

    I'm sorry but Cronin is a backstabbing POS. He figured out that GM job security comes from engaging in a perpetual tank. Every action he has taken has been in the service of keeping him in a position he never deserved. He has zero interest or intent on winning. Frankly he deserves to be tarred and feathered and shipped out of PDX.
