Head coach Micah Nori on fitting Ja Morant with the rest of the team, dynamics, and the reason behind assigning roles to Ja, Deni Avdija, and Damian Lillard.“It’s a good problem to have” - it’s better to have players to play with than none.
Don’t give the Blazers owner any ideas, he’d probably be happy not having any players to pay
Every night they pick the players out of the crowd
I wonder how much money (if it’s really the money) do NBA team owners make WHILE actually not giving af about the team (and/or the fans) for them to still hold on to this business.
Unless u in a big market u generally lose money. The point is to resell the team once valuation goes up
Why is this the highest def video I’ve ever seen
I love Nori but that job is gonna be tough this year, roster is not balanced very well at all.
I agree with this, hopefully some clarity is established by the trade deadline as to which guards are part of the short and long-term future.
The Blazers do (on paper) have some solid tradable players and draft assets to make deals this year or during the summer to help with balancing.
In the interim though, it is going to be tricky for Nori. I’m excited to see what he does and I’ll try not to get too hung up on W\Ls for the first half of the season
They have good players at every position and have no too many talented guards is not a bad issue to have
Only has a one year coaching deal. If he’s bad, he can just go back to you guys lol
For anyone not aware, Nori is gonna be one of the best coaching interviews all year. Not only is he funny he usually is good at breaking things down for fans. He has an Emmy for some Xs and Os segments he would do for the Wolves pregame shows a few years ago.
He’s also just handsome. Those brown eyes…
Like a young Jay Leno.
Idk if you’re fucking with me or not but it’s genuinely a decent comp
A good problem is still a problem.
I’m rooting so hard for this guy, what a rough situation. I hope things go well for funny quote man.
It also would be nice if any of these guys gave any effort on defense. Kinda complicates things
ya, they’ll have to play really fast and outscore folks
problem is, ja can do that, deni and dame like to control the pace more
I personally think it’s a mess of team that doesn’t fit together at all, and even though they got ja basically for free I think he’s such a bad fit he’s subtraction by addition
but, at the same time, it’ll be fun to see how it works (and I’m rooting for Micah to have success, even if I don’t think it’s necessarily that likely)
A trio that could’ve only been contrived of in hell
Am I missing something or all these good players? lol overpaid sure but
Dame and Deni are only making like $10 mil this year too lol.
They’re an atrocious fit together, Ja looked real bad when he did play last year and Dame is 36 coming off a year long injury
Hold off judgement on Ja yet. I don’t know where he is physically, but he’s been a round peg in a square hole at Memphis since they went the analytics route and made him a spot up shooter. His strength is driving with the ball in his hands, not waiting on the perimeter or making touch passes in a motion offense.
They’re not overpaid lol Deni is on the best contract in the league and Dame is on like a MLE AAV.
The fit is just ass
He’s setup to fail
Jailblazers 2.0?
Yeah Ja and Dame are totally going to bring defense 😭✌️
Alright like 0.8 2.0 makes it sound like an upgrade you’re right
Blazers & Wolves are definitely trying something interesting this season…
How are the wolves in any way similar to the blazers?
Don’t get this comparison
