and putting all the personal stuff aside i just remain unconvinced that the blazers would gain much if any leverage by bringing him back. i just don’t see who is putting a demonstrably better offer on the table & there’s the chance the offers get worse. or that dame comes back and plays and gets hurt for the third year in a row. the KD situation was an anomaly, i wouldn’t want that to be my plan. a much more realistic outcome is what happened with simmons where i think the idea that philly gained anything from that compared to what they could’ve done in the summer is entirely dubious

'it's the notes he's NOT playing'
will be interesting to see what his game is in the nba not sure its going to be the 7-4 guard routine
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 July 2023 01:53 (nine months ago) link
yeah, he's doing a LOT of dribble penetration or playing on the elbow like hes lamarcus aldridge.

they just showed a shot of the big ball and it looks so much like bad cgi but its real lol

Scoot Henderson will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder after sustaining the injury today. There’s optimism it’s not a dislocation.don’t love the way that’s phrased!

but yeah, the marketing/promotion possibilities boggle the mind.

im glad wemby got one of his worst shooting nights out of his system now as opposed to game 7 of the 2030 nba finals
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Saturday, 8 July 2023 03:10 (nine months ago) link
one thing is clear, he's going to roll out of bed and get 3 blocks a game
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 8 July 2023 03:14 (nine months ago) link
yeah the defensive impact was unreal. he had 5 blocks and one that was called a foul that shouldn't have been. not just that, but his length creates so many problems on entry passes. it was the spurs biggest weakness last year and he'll keep games close even on nights like these where his shots arent connecting. sochan and vassell are both really excellent, versatile defenders who will complement the havoc he creates and capitalize on turnovers.
he just couldnt get into a shooting rhythm and seemed to be trying to score a lot on isos either as a perimeter shooter or in the low block trying to get to the rim on post-ups. his defenders were really physical with him and forced him into uncomfortable looks. they need to actually run plays with him rolling to the rim for easy alleyoops or popping out for open catch and shoot jumpers so that hes having to create space for himself (which he will be able to do later as his strength develops).
the passing was really impressive and might be the jokic-esque key that unlocks his full potential as a playmaker.
i wouldve liked to see him push it more in transition D. he seemed to defer to teammates to who were trying to chase down and get blocks.

Restricted free agent Paul Reed — aka BBall Paul — is signing a three-year, $24 million contract offer sheet with the Utah Jazz, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Agent Ron Shade of Octagon negotiated the new deal. pic.twitter.com/gQhCNVvIiV— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) July 8, 2023

xp yeah thats why. feel like they have a super high ceiling with this core
― ciderpress, Saturday, 8 July 2023 16:06 (nine months ago) link
like theyre in the same spot as the 20-win teams development wise yet they're already .500
― ciderpress, Saturday, 8 July 2023 16:08 (nine months ago) link
theyre good for sure also positioned player agewise to step into their prime as many of the current contenders are aging out

― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 8 July 2023 16:14 (nine months ago) link
yup
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 July 2023 16:15 (nine months ago) link
he could legit make all-defense team as a rookie
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Saturday, 8 July 2023 16:23 (nine months ago) link
one thing i noticed hes totally happy chasing his man cause its so easy for him to contest from behind, seems like he doesnt even care if he stays in front
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 July 2023 16:29 (nine months ago) link
One of the terms of the offer sheet provides a unique twist: The first season of the contract is fully guaranteed and the two following become guaranteed for $15.7 million if Reed’s team advances to conference semi-finals in the 2023-24 season, sources said.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 8, 2023
