Just looking at the roster and money situation, there is definitely another move or two coming. Have to clear space and add players.
Correct. We're just under but have 2-3 roster spots to fill

Kira or Jonas are the obvious 2 potential dudes to go, outside of a more unexpected move.

I don’t see what other “unexpected” move we could make.

Most of our roster is set and not getting traded.

Pretty much leaves Kira, Nance, Val, CJ.

I don’t see us letting go of CJ until we see a healthy Zion/ BI and give him some time to work with Hawkins.

I can easily see Kira gone. And easily 1 of Nance/ Val.

At this point, the only move I see is dumping Kira to get some breathing room and signing a cheap vet like Biyombo and bringing Matkovic over.

Not a lot of options left.

I for one am excited about EJ coming back from injury. Seemed mature and professional at Ohio State and being injured for a year probably lights a fire under that kind of player.

Is Twitter not working for anyone else? I keep getting “rate limit exceeded”

I have high hopes for EJ. I’m also very interested to see what Liam Robbins can do.

Liam had 80 blocks in 24 games I believe. SEC defensive player of the year had multiple 6,7,8 block games.

He also averaged 8.2 fouls drawn per 40min last year.

If we dump Kira then we still have 3 roster spots. We can get a vet min and bring Matkovich. Still leaves 1 more spot.

I also am interested to see if Landers Nolley II is legit.

I think we guarantee Liddell and put Matkovich on a 2 way contract. If Landers works out then I think he gets a contract honestly.

Sign a vet min center.

Then leave the last spot open for Liam when he comes back or to guarantee Matkovich for playoffs.

Dame only wanting to go to Miami fricks Portland hard. They have no picks.

A true lesson in holding on too long.

CJ/Jose/ Dyson
BI/ Hawkins/ Naji
Herb/ Trey/ Landers II
Zion/ Liddell/ Nance
Val/ Vet min/

Leaves a spot open to guarantee 1 of Robbins/ Matkovich for playoffs. And those guys can still both play throughout the year.

Well if it’s not possible for them to get him then they can’t.

Blazers: Ben Simmons, Dinwiddie, multiple picks

Nets: Dame, filler

Makes the most sense. Dame and Bridges would be a nice duo.

Elon managed to ruin twitter. Unreal. I have been suspended like 5 times since he took over. They never told me why on any of the bans. Now I am limited to READING 300 posts a day bc I had to make a new account and refuse to pay to use his garbage website.

Yeah, what's the deal with that. My account got banned for no reason.

A lot of folks talked about how the no trade clause screwed Washington in the Beal trade but every single star is treated by their front office like they have a no trade clause so it seems kind of irrelevant unless teams start just getting back the best possible offer.

Free Agency talk first:

quote:

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn 48m

Free agent G D’Angelo Russell has agreed on a two-year, $37 million contract to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers, co-heads of @CAA_Basketball Austin Brown and Aaron Mintz along with Antonio Russell tell ESPN. Deal has player option. Lakers secure their starting point guard.


Now twitter talk:

quote:

Now I am limited to READING 300 posts a day bc I had to make a new account and refuse to pay to use his garbage website.


quote:

Elon Musk @elonmusk 1h

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:

- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
- New unverified accounts to 300/day


If I had to guess this is all about AI not paying for the data they are training with. That's why reddit was such a mess last week with many subreddits going dark to protest the new price increases for API access that is killing off tools that reddit mods liked. But these AI companies are going to make a ton of money by training on free data, so companies putting out a lot of data are going to find a way to charge for it.

I would think this will become the norm. When will Chicken start charging us is the question.

Yep. Ready to bounce to the Instagram competitor or skyblue when it’s up and running. Too many spam posts and now this crap.
