1 man enters room WITH 100 people makes it 101 people then minus 40 that leaves you with 61 people remaining and then 10 enter the room making it 71 people.

This is how to view things. We are essentially in positionless basketball

[BLAZERS ARGENTO @BlazersArgento]

🫂 Micah Nori dio su visión sobre el roster que tienen los Portland Trail Blazers.

Extracto del artículo de @BlazerFreeman 👇🏽

“Mientras los fanáticos de los Blazers miran el plantel, ven cuatro bases, un point-forward como Deni Avdija y una sola pelota para repartir, Nori lo ve de otra forma.

Ve un plantel lleno de pasadores dispuestos, jugadores inteligentes, experiencia y liderazgo. Imagina a Portland jugando rápido, con un ‘básquet de conceptos’, basado en movimiento constante, pases precisos y decisiones inteligentes dentro de una ofensiva fluida. Imagina una rotación de 10 jugadores.

Nori cree que la gravedad de Lillard ayudará a crear espacios para Avdija y Morant. Cree que la versatilidad de Holiday para jugar como guard o forward le permitirá aprovechar alineaciones pequeñas. Cree que puede presionar el ritmo sin parar gracias a la cantidad de manejadores de balón. Y ya está diseñando jugadas mentalmente, incluyendo handoffs entre Avdija y Lillard en la esquina, y acciones después de tiempo muerto para Morant y Holiday.

“Vamos a compartir la pelota, vamos a correr”, dijo Nori. “Si solo subimos caminando y se convierte en ‘mirame jugar pick-and-roll esta vez, vos jugás pick-and-roll la próxima’, eso sería miserable para todos. Incluidos los fanáticos. Y no es como queremos jugar. No me preocupa tener demasiados bases ni nada de eso, porque yo lo veo como: cuántos buenos jugadores de básquet, tomadores de decisiones y creadores de juego podemos tener en cancha”.

Hey hey that's a good sign right here! 💯🖤❤️🌹🔥

[Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes]

Longtime NBA offensive guru Jay Triano has agreed to join the coaching staff of Portland Trail Blazers head coach Micah Nori and reunite with franchise star Damian Lillard, league sources say.

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

@BallUpTopBrad Sharpe and 3 FRPs is the best deal they'd get

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

@Shilllin Put the amount of years MJ played and put LeBron on that same amount of time and then see the stats side by side. Leflop ain't even close to MJ's aura or skill

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

I genuinely hope he finds a solid spot. He's a good player when in the right position. He's better at the PF than the C spot

Just in: The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Deandre Ayton to the Washington Wizards for Jaden Hardy and two Wizards second-round picks in 2031 and 2032, sources tell ESPN.

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

@ToreyJonesYT They must of saw how we performed against them the first time and Nurse took notes of who he wanted 😂😂😂😂

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

They got a good player in Love he's an absolute score monster when given time. Just doesn't play much defense

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Free agent guard Caleb Love has agreed to a two-way NBA deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN.

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

I like it. Give Hansen guidance under RW3 he could teach him on the fly during game times be his yang whisperer. 🤔❤️🖤🌹#Ripcity

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

The Trail Blazers’ current projected rotation next season:

Starters: Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara, Donovan Clingan

Second Unit: Scoot Henderson, Jrue Holiday, Shaedon Sharpe, Yang Hansen, Robert Williams

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

@SopanDeb Y'all are underestimating PG, he was one of the main reasons the 76ers made it to the playoffs. His defense was locking up JB during the playoffs but I'm sure most Celtics fans blank that out of course like PTSD memories.

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

JB would of been a terrible fit on the Blazers roster. Sorry not sorry #Ripcity

[Pensare Basketball @PensareBBall]

Jaylen Brown was not traded. Jaylen Brown was salary-dumped. The Celtics canvassed the league asking for anyone who might be interested. They were rebuffed. Repeatedly.

They could not manage to get a Tre Murphy swap with fillers. They couldn't manage to get a Jrue Holiday + picks package.

In the end, the Sixers offer was underwhelming, but it was the best one they had.

And the Celtics learned what many front offices have known for a while. Top 25-30 players who get paid top 10 money become bottom 100 assets, even in their prime.

The Celtics paid Jaylen Brown for the same reason the Clippers paid Paul George. They wanted to max out the contention window for their star by re-signing their supporting caste.

It's a trap many teams fall into when trying to max contention windows. Klay got the bag post ACL injury because the Warriors wanted to help Steph. Myles got paid so the Bucks could help Giannis.

Hell, right now the Raptors are about to pay Kawhi Leonard 170+ million over 3 years to help open up Scottie Barnes' window.

But the reality is grim. 29ppg isn't enough anymore. Not without the impact, efficiency, defense and making your teammates better.

Brown wasn't a great defender this year. He's an aggressive but less than superstar level scorer... And at nearly 60 million a year, with the analytical impact and player profile of an borderline All Star, the Celtics bet that Paul George + picks was worth getting off of one additional year of Jaylen Brown.

It's not a popular decision. But it's reality. Front offices don't value him. Just like they didn't value Ja, BI and Trae Young.

Learn the lesson. If you max out these types of players, you're going to be holding them well past expiration.

Cronin you just need a good forward preferably a PF...GO GET RUI! USE THAT MLE 🙏❤️🖤🌹

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

@wrldoftatum 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

Meh..so what if we didn't get Brown his contract would of been terrible to take on. Skill wise yes he's great but we need more PF role players. We got a well diverse team of talent currently just a couple more upgrades and we're SOLID! 💯🔥❤️🖤🤍 #Ripcity

[Scythex541 @Scythex89]

@The_Man_Logan @CelticsUnite18 Nope because we need him at PF 😂😂😂
