part two of the nba 2020-21 anything but regular season

already seeing the "blazers must retire aldridge's jersey" stuff which i guess they probably will but they really should not!

They should retire Darius Miles’ jersey

they should retire scottie pippens jersey

how about an entire wing for all retiring all jail blazers' jerseys

yes

dame called for it so they have to oblige

yikes

The latest on James Wiseman, who could face a recovery of four to six months after undergoing successful knee surgery today. That's on the longer end of what the Warriors had anticipated. https://t.co/u8l7fczQzu

light years ahead

they tried to thread the needle and now they arent getting to develop wiseman + they dont have a good enough team around dray/curry

feels like they really fucked up developing him this season in any case

asking him to do too much too soon, dray yelling at him too much, idk

Dray was chill on him I think after the first few weeks. They kept posting him and he’s not that type of player. He was starting to get it a bit more the last few weeks.

you never want your rookie big man to be having knee problems but if he stays otherwise healthy its hard to see this bending his development curve too much

agree tho that the dubs are in a weird in between spot with their roster

It’s more that they need him to be good like right now, and for sure next year. Not like reach his full potential but needs to be a passable nba rotation guy and he wasn’t that this year.

i think next year he prob will be

I’m only in the second quarter so no spoilers but the cavs new logos and design is spectacularly ugly.

definitely not a spoiler there

Bogdanovich has been balling out

Three-time NBA champion @DwyaneWade has purchased an ownership stake in the Utah Jazz, joining majority owner and governor @RyanQualtrics with plans to take an active role in the franchise and region. Story on ESPN: https://t.co/ZxtZe8uLey

???

interesting...

first order of business... he needs to put a hit out on vernon maxwell

dwyane wade taking an “active role” in the southwest united states?

Wiseman won't figure it out until he... randomly slaps one of his teammates?

im always saying that

I want to congratulate Dwyane on his recent announcement. We had discussed having him join our ownership group after his retirement but he was not prepared to commmit at the time. Of course I am disappointed that he didn’t reconsider. 1/2

I mean I’m sure he’s not going to be living in utah

ski

Dwyane is a unique cat, maybe this makes total sense to him. Get a ski in ski out in park city, maybe get involved with Sundance.

Wiseman won't figure it out until he... randomly slaps one of his teammates?

lol didnt realize boom tho was still writing.

i think not being management for the team youre a legend with is prob wise

may also prefer working with ryan qualtrics to the aging cruise ship guy

i think not being management for the team youre a legend with is prob wise

low key brilliant i'd say

i would say the likelihood of the jazz guy being a better owner than mickey arison is very unlikely but you can’t really be choosy if you’re trying to get into NBA ownership. also i think wade and gabrielle union are living in LA now so i guess it’s not that far for him

ankle sprain for donovan mitchell yeesh

Steve Kerr (via @DRK957) on Wiseman:

"We just didn't have a sense of how raw he would be because we only had 3 college games of his.

Can we get James up to speed to match the timeline of our 3 core guys? That's a great question and we don't know the answer."

hmmm. i had a sense!

that quote feels like the first stone towards the path of summer trade rumors

yeah

might not be able to wait because if he sucks next year they're really in trouble

maybe don't draft the guy you don't have a much of a sense for, idk maybe i'm crazy

too bad their werent any other guys on the board too bad

Kerr has a handful of wild quotes this year

The timeline of Klay Thompson is in the past so it’s hard for James Wiseman to fit into it

I really hope this Julius randle season is real

prob kind of real

looked like he rolled it pretty bad

MRI on right ankle sprain of Utah Jazz All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell revealed no structural damage, sources tell ESPN. He’s expected to miss several games before he’s cleared to return.
