Hi, I’m Joe. This started in 2023 as an account to talk to about #RipCity Basketball since there wasn’t a Blazers presence. And as it grows I’ll continue to provide in game and post game commentary of praise and complaints about the Portland Trail Blazers.

Worth highlighting that this article says the team won’t likely move. #ripcity

11 is not what we were hoping for but other Notable 11th Picks: - Klay Thompson - Bonzi Wells - Shai Golgeous-Alexander - Malik Monk - Domantas Sabonis - Myles Turner - JJ Redick So I mean, yeah. #ripcity

NBA Draft Today at 4pm Pacific. Blazers highest odds are at the 10th spot but who knows, 3.7% at the 1st draft…so there is a chance. #ripcity www.blazersedge.com/2025/5/11/24...

Perhaps this is why I’m not a GM, but the idea of losing Clingan who has shown a lot of potential as a big; more on defense than offense, this idea does not sound appealing to me. Do you think the Blazers should part with Clingan? www.si.com/nba/trailbla...

Unlikely scenarios but I like the return in these, just not comfortable with the offer. A lot of draft picks offered in some of these. #ripcity ripcityproject.com/3-trades-bla...

Skepticism around Banton’s returned to #ripcity next year. I’d like D.B. Hooper to stay but, more curious about other moves the Blazers make. www.si.com/nba/trailbla...

Blazer’s are linked to Kon Knueppel, a guard, in latest mock drafts. In his season with the Blue Devils, averaged 14.4pts, 4 rbds, & 2.7 assists/game. He shot 48 percent from the field & 40.6% from 3pt. Thoughts? This would likely mean a trade for Simons. #ripcity www.si.com/nba/trailbla...

Exciting and skeptical. However, I’m sure Dame wants to play so Haliburton stops talking. A few years back Dame talked about how Haliburton needs to stay humble or something and then they were chirping after game 1 this year.

Later today, the NBA will conduct a coin toss to decide the pre-lottery order for teams with a tiebreaker (See: Trail Blazers at 9th with the Sun/Rockets). The odds will be divided going in, with the remaining set of odds going to the winner of the tie breaker and that will sort out who is 9th/10th.

Toumani getting acknowledged. But this doesn’t mean anything official. #ripcity www.blazersedge.com/2025/4/16/24...

Interesting to hear that Billups was connected to the Suns. I wonder if that was players desire or front office. If players, is he enough pull to get some suns over here? A stretch but fun think about. #ripcity www.si.com/nba/trailbla...
