not thrilled on a political or aesthetic level about the blazers going full Team Nike but it would obviously be one of the better things for the future of the franchise, I’d come to terms with it pretty quick

yeah it makes a lot of sense and every ownership is rich corporate guys so as far as that goes there not anything more portland and nba than nike i mean they make the uniforms and most of the shoes
― lag∞n, Thursday, 2 June 2022 22:17 (one year ago) link
wonder if it will have to be a purely phil knight enterprise since nike has a relationship with the whole league

jalen brunson would still be the best knicks point guard since...idk you'd have to go back pretty far. unless you count those six weeks of linsanity.

my understanding is the will stipulated the team must be sold five years after his death but that also sounds like an urban legend now that I type it out xp

windhorst talked about the blazers sale process a while ago and the upshot was that the trust had a bunch of more valuable shit to get to before it could get around to selling the blazers

YA GONNA NEED IT
pelton:
My projections translate performance in NCAA Division I and other leagues to an NBA equivalent and then adjust for age and position to project value over a player's next five seasons. Lastly, I add in ranking in the ESPN's top 100 prospects for the best consensus projection.
1. Chet HolmgrenPower forward | GonzagaTop 100: No. 1Stats: No. 1
Consensus: 4.4 WARP
There's no change at the very top of my projections, with Holmgren still the top-rated in both the stats-only version and the consensus projections. Holmgren's versatility stands out. He's the first prospect ever in my database to project to block at least 5% of opponent 2-point attempts and take at least 30% of his own shots from 3-point range. Add in projected 59% accuracy on 2-point attempts and Holmgren figures to make a big impact at both ends even if he's not the kind of dominant creator who usually ranks atop draft boards.
2. Jabari SmithPower forward | AuburnTop 100: No. 2Stats: No. 7
Consensus: 3.3 WARP
The one minor concern about Smith as a top prospect is his solid but unspectacular efficiency. Smith's projected .545 true shooting percentage as an NBA rookie is weaker than league average (.566). To become the dominant scorer he's got the potential to be, Smith will have to turn more of his long 2-point attempts (he shot 38.5% on 2s outside 17 feet, per Synergy Sports tracking) into 3s, which he made at a 42% clip -- or an effective field-goal percentage of 63% when accounting for the extra point.
...
11. Paolo BancheroPower forward | DukeTop 100: No. 3Stats: No. 35
Consensus: 2.1 WARP
While the other two top prospects in this year's rankings are 1-2 overall in the consensus projections, Banchero falls outside the top 10 because of his unspectacular stats-only projection. Banchero wasn't as efficient as Holmgren and Smith. He was more accurate on long 2s than Smith (45%, per Synergy Sports) but not nearly as good from 3-point range (34%). Improvement there will help Banchero become an elite scorer. He could also stand to improve his impact on defense.
