new pod: the hospital blazers have arrived.
as long as dundon knows to stay away from sabonis' kid, we're good.
Idk if there’s enough time between now and the time Dundon takes over, to impress Dundon enough to not expect him to just wrecking ball this thing.

in the last week alone, the blazers have dodged kyrie, AD, DFS, FVV, zion, poole, DJM, suggs.
Victor Wembanyama will be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks after suffering a left calf strain, league sources said. The San Antonio Spurs want to be cautious with their franchise superstar.

hospital blazers™ with a scary win on the road against the awful pels.
but more importantly, we're starting to see healthy shaedon™ (aka training camp shaedon™) emerge. you love to see it.

The Blazers saw a glimpse of “Training camp Shae” last night in their win at New Orleans:

‘Training camp’ Shaedon Sharpe delivers ‘unbelievable’ game, lifts Blazers over Pelicans
Sharpe punished the Pelicans from all three levels, erupting for a season-high 35 points while adding five rebounds, three assists and two steals in a performance that was both clutch and needed.

man... couldn't disagree more here. all of this <gesticulates wildly> is about securing the Elite Guy, and there are like a handful in the league (cooper flagg is one of them).
Not in a million years.
Cooper Flagg is nice, but one young phenom guarantees nothing.
Portland is in a much better position going forward.

lots of swirl re: nico this AM, but you'd probably still swap the blazers roster and pick situation for dallas' because they have cooper flagg in hand.
if their next GM is decent with their irons and short game, all they have to do is assemble serviceable young complementary players around him.

shaedon’s performance tonight means way more than a win; it might be ‘the’ make or break element of this particular blazers era.

blazers are missing wesley, thybulle and scoot for significant time. sharpe has been nursing soreness until today. (obv. dame is out)
are we at the point where we can update the narrative with 'shorthanded blazers'/'hospital blazers'—or are they not shorthanded enough for that designation?
