Zach Lowe with an aside in support of the Blazers staying in Portland: “The NBA needs to not fuck this up. Do not let this guy come in here and hijack this franchise and remove it from Portland… “Portland’s an awesome market, their fans are better than this, they don’t deserve this.”

Matisse said verbatim he wanted to be here next season in his exit interview Ridiculous hill to stand on to act like Matisse of all people was dissatisfied with this team and this organization, clear as day the dude liked it in Portland, the Blazers just gave up on him

Deni going through some stuff right now: “To be honest with you I’m just dealing with some stuff right now, I have the competitive nature of trying to be there for my teammates and compete but umm, it’s something I have to figure out with myself, with my teammates, with the coaches. Nothing to worry about, I’ll be alright. But it’s definitely a little moment I’m facing right now.” Casey Holdahl: “How do you think your back is right now?” Deni: “I can’t really say anything about my injury, or what’s going on, but I’ll leave it to the medial staff. I’m doing a good job of recovering and coming back, but I definitely don’t feel 100%”

Tom Dundon explained the hotel room story in Phoenix Says that since the Play-In game was scheduled so late, the hotel they were staying at wanted them to pay for an extra night and did not offer late checkout So they did that for the coaches and players, but for the staff, including Tom, since a ballroom downstairs was already reserved for lunch at 1:45, they did not pay for an extra room and instead had them hang out in the ballroom “If that’s too hard for people, then I’m not right for them. I want that culture”

The perfect embodiment of Matisse's Blazers career was in 2025 when he made his season debut on March 16 by recording 2 steals and a game-winning block on a three-pointer in just 6 minutes of run And then followed it up the next game with 5 steals and a block in 22 mins

Bill Simmons has the Spurs as his No. 2 panic team right now in the NBA Playoffs: “I think Portland’s legitimately good. Like Toronto? Bogus 5-seed. Houston? Bogus 5-seed. Portland? Frisky 7-seed. I think Portland’s a better playoff team than either Houston or Toronto”

Clingan on what he's going to work on this offseason: "Getting stronger. Getting faster. Being able to move my feet. Defend the perimeter more. My touch in that mid-paint section. Making sure the 3-ball is consistent." "I feel like just movement. Being able to move faster, better. Being able to pump-fake and attack the rim off the 3-point line. There's a lot of things that I want to work on and want to get better at, and obviously it's not all going to happen at once, but there's going to be a lot of time in the gym this summer."

This snippet from the end of Cronin’s press conference has me really thinking about what sort of deal he (supposedly) was close to taking but passed up on The clues are: - Would’ve sent Portland into Tax, close to first apron (~$7-8mil) - Would have saved other team “a bunch” of money - Portland would have received a “nice young asset” - Dundon would’ve had to write a check for $20 million (lines up with first clue, $7mil over tax is roughly $20mil penalty) Any guesses on what he may be talking about?
