summersivan+FollowPortland’s surprise X-factor: Caleb Love’s breakoutCaleb Love has become the unexpected spark the Blazers needed this season. Despite going undrafted and joining Portland on a two-way deal, Love’s experience and maturity have helped him step up big time—especially with the team battling injuries. Averaging over 11 points and recently surging to 16 per game, he’s outperformed several top picks and even drawn comparisons to Sixth Man of the Year Eric Gordon. Now, with his contract status up in the air and the trade deadline looming, the big question is: should the Blazers lock him in for good? What do you think—has Love earned a permanent spot? #Sports #Basketball #RipCity00Share
Oscar Gonzalez+FollowShould Blazers Trade Scoot for JJJ?Blazers fans, would you go all-in and move Scoot Henderson for Jaren Jackson Jr. if Memphis blows it up at the deadline? JJJ’s defense and fit next to Deni Avdija could make Portland a playoff threat, but giving up a young talent like Scoot is a big call. With Dame possibly returning, is this the right move for Rip City’s timeline? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Basketball #RipCity10Share

With Miami and Washington bowing out, it’s looking like a two-team race. The big question: is Kuminga’s upside worth shaking up the chemistry that guys like Jrue and Grant have built? Or would adding the young forward be the spark Portland needs? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Basketball #RipCity00Share
summersivan+FollowBlazers’ draft gamble sparks big debate in PortlandPortland’s decision to pick Yang Hansen over Derik Queen in the NBA Draft is already raising eyebrows. While Queen is making waves in New Orleans—averaging 12.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists—Hansen is struggling to even get minutes, with lackluster stats and a tough time fitting into the Blazers’ rotation. Fans are starting to wonder if the front office missed a golden opportunity, especially as Queen climbs the rookie rankings. What do you think: was this a draft-day blunder, or does Hansen just need more time? #Sports #Basketball #RipCity00Share
Brian Gaines+FollowBlazers vs Hawks: Could Dame & CJ Reunite?Rip City fans, what do you think about the buzz around a possible Dame and CJ reunion in Portland? With King Dame already back, the idea of CJ McCollum joining from Atlanta is heating up. The money and timing make a trade tough, but with CJ hitting free agency this summer, a backcourt reunion isn’t out of the question. Would this veteran duo finally have the supporting cast to make a deep playoff run? #Sports #Basketball #RipCity00Share
Brian Gaines+FollowBlazers’ tough loss shows it’s time for a tradeWatching the Blazers fall apart without Deni Avdija on the court really highlights just how much this team leans on him. With Avdija out, Portland’s offense looked lost, piling up more turnovers than assists and struggling from three-point range. Even though the Blazers have been hanging around the playoff race, this game made it clear: if they want to get serious about winning, they need more help for their star. With the trade deadline coming up, what kind of moves do you think the Blazers should make to build a stronger, more balanced roster? #Sports #Basketball #RipCity00Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowBlazers eye Jaren Jackson Jr. as game-changerJaren Jackson Jr. just became trade-eligible, and the buzz in Portland is real. With the Grizzlies struggling and reportedly open to shaking up their roster, the Blazers suddenly have a shot at landing their dream big man. Jackson’s elite defense and floor spacing could be the missing piece to push Portland’s rebuild into playoff territory. Imagine pairing him with rising stars like Deni Avdija and Donovan Clingan—this could totally change the team’s trajectory. Would you go all-in for JJJ if you were the Blazers’ GM? Let’s hear your trade ideas and thoughts on how he’d fit! #Sports #Basketball #RipCity00Share
Brian Gaines+FollowDeni Avdija’s breakout season hits a snagDeni Avdija has been the spark the Trail Blazers needed, turning heads with his all-around game and making a real case for Most Improved Player. Averaging over 26 points, 7 rebounds, and nearly 7 assists, he’s become the heartbeat of Portland’s rebuild. But just as fans were getting excited, Avdija’s lower back soreness has sidelined him for the next game. With his health now a concern, it’s a big test for both Avdija and the Blazers. How do you think Portland should handle his minutes moving forward? #Sports #Basketball #RipCity00Share
