@ShamsCharania Happy to see him go somewhere that has the timeline for him to grow as a coach.

Portland needs someone with better substitutions/rotations and offensive scheme.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@503Blazerfans 29/7/5 perennial All-Star, All-NBA second team, and recent finals MVP. Under contract for 3 more seasons.

Yet a bunch of Blazers fans who want to see us gamble on draft picks that won’t come close to as good as him.

He literally would be a top-5 player in team history.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@503Blazerfans It was not a legit rumor at any point around that time. Brown was not available

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@Jaybirdmonster @BrettSiegelNBA Would also be logic in waiting for a deal to be completed after the draft and new league year starts, as it opens up some picks for teams to deal. Probably reported before but completed then.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@503sBest @N3WJ3RAM1 @Dame_Time1023 Deni played a lot of point forward this year, would be pretty nice to see him run the break with Giannis at times.

Dame / Jrue / Deni / Giannis / Clingan

Could be a fun group that matches up pretty well with OKC and SAS. Add a nice MLE bench piece for once too.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@KingCrab1984 @Dame_Time1023 @503sBest Well yeah, Giannis is consistently a top-5 player for nearly the last decade. He’s also played >70 games once in the last 7 years.

Avdija is 6 years younger, cheap contract, and an improving All-Star. Nice 2nd option on a contender, which is likely the hope with pairing w/ GA

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@Perrywinkle1267 @Baldg0d @philfanacc That’s if they release every players cap hold too, and then still couldn’t spend that on 1 player because there are cap holds for a couple open roster spots. It’s also less than the MLE, so they’ll just use that unless they’re dumping Fox, Vassell, or Johnson.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@TheDunkCentral If he had the money, he wouldn’t ever get approved with his gambling problems and lack of consistent cash flow required to be an owner. The team valuations have jumped significantly in recent years, his career earnings wouldn’t come remotely close to being a majority owner now.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

2 games in his career over 40pts and he wants to talk like he’s an elite scorer after the whole team fed him shots against the Wizards?? Didn’t even shoot 50% from the field in the 83pt game.

Just obnoxious

Bam Adebayo on Luka Doncic’s 60-point night:

“I know what it’s like to be in that mode… As people can see, it’s not easy to get to 80.”

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@TheDunkCentral Not even remotely close

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@SohamJa83573125 @fanatic_clipper ??? Giannis is 28.6% from 3 in his career and never shot over 35% until this year

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@scowo99 @blazersedge He has 2 games above 20 minutes this season, another 6 at 20, and 18 games missed. Can’t play back-to-backs and can’t play starter minutes when Clingan is injured. How much do you pay that guy for 16 minutes per game?

[Sean Highkin @highkin]

The Blazers have converted Sidy Cissoko to a standard contract and waived Rayan Rupert to create a roster spot, the team announced.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@TheDunkCentral @GetUpESPN Terrible comparison. Paolo is much more fluid and better handles (while settling for stupid ass shots), while Boozer relies more on footwork and touch in the paint

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@TheDunkCentral @BenGolliver Fire Silver and get a commissioner with a spine who cares about the game.

The NBA never should have associated themselves with sports betting.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@DSchoenborn6 @march_mazness @parlay_wade15 @FeelLikeDrew If you watch the video, it’s pretty obvious he’s not talking about Atlanta’s wings because he’s going to a party. Doesn’t take knowing his personal life to see that.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@march_mazness @parlay_wade15 @FeelLikeDrew I mean they’re 6th in the West, could easily be knocked out in the first round. He’s probably seeing the Celtics at 2nd in the East with Brown and thinking he could take Atlanta to the same heights. Obviously a huge lifestyle preference for him in Atlanta too

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@march_mazness @parlay_wade15 @FeelLikeDrew That definitely makes sense for a sooner visit, but doesn’t really make sense in context of mentioning the wings in Atlanta though.

I’d prefer he stays in Minnesota and they move to the Eastern Conference with the expansion in a couple years.

[NBA Conceptions @nbaconceptions]

@parlay_wade15 @FeelLikeDrew Except he doesn’t go there again the rest of the season.

Maybe a big package around the New Orleans pick this summer
