Garrison Mathews MVP run well and truly underway

I feel bad for making fun of him moving into the starting line-up.

He's only on a 50 game too. Rockets currently don't have a spot to give him a contract. With any luck we * off House to who cares where.

Demar in protocols

 

[burge13]

So ******* stupid they force vaccination on the players but then still need to isolate if positive. Must really trust the vax effectiveness...

Be another asterisk season when it ruins playoffs

 

[dylan123]

No different to here really. You're still infectious during that period so makes sense imo, just lessens the blow to the individual hopefully.

Bulls with no DDR and no Caruso up 15 against Denver?

41 minutes for Ayo

That’s a tremendous defensive play by CP3.

Timothee Lulu-Chalamet gone from junk time player to 20ppg starter.

Lillard wants a two-year, $107 million extension in July, and he and his agent need the next general manager to sell ownership on the idea. As much as anything, this cuts to the core of the Blazers' search process. His desire for an extension into his advanced NBA years has turned into a battle for the franchise's future, an existential threat to reshaping and redirecting the organization in a post-playoff reality.

In the past year, Lillard and his camp have been thwarted on several leverage plays -- Jason Kidd as coach, trading CJ McCollum and four first-round picks for Ben Simmons. Most of all, they lost the confidence that the Blazers had a top basketball executive and ownership willing to make Lillard's contract the highest single-season deal in league history at $55.3 million in 2027.

With four seasons -- including an opt-out -- left on his deal, Lillard had no leverage to choose his next team over this past summer. If Lillard asked out, he would've gone where Portland could get the best package of young players, draft picks and salary-cap relief. Asking for New York and Philadelphia makes for dramatic storylines, but the multiple years on his deal would've emboldened several small and non-destination markets to engage with Portland's steep asking price.

Among several top-level GM candidates who fit the profile of Portland's applicant pool, there's no enthusiasm to grant Lillard his massive extension contract through the 2026-27 season. In fact, several executives told ESPN they would be far more interested in the Blazers job with ownership's blessing to move Lillard sooner than later.

Don't think we'll be competitive in trade offers but Turner would be so freaking perfect for us. Lets KAT play his natural game, gives badly needed rim protection and rebounding, shifts Ant over defensively, and pushes Vanderbilt's defence over to the second unit where it's really needed, while also gaining a guy who still needs to be respected from deep. I'd love to get him.

He's even more perfect for us - if you had to build the perfect front court partner for Zion, Turner would be it - but we're not that smart.

Surely Boston is going to be front and centre on any Turner discussions.

Do they have anything Indy would want?

I reckon either Lavert, Sabonis or Turner we would all go for.
