I believe he tied the record for consecutive 30-point games in Raptors history. With DeMar.5 straight, motherfuckers! Miami goes down.4th straight 30-point game for Trent; 3 wins and a 6-point loss @ Chicago for the Raptors.
Didn't he only make it because there is a minimum of three frontcourt players on the bench, though? I would've had Jarrett Allen in over him, but I don't think he and LaMelo/Jrue were competing for the same spot.Khris Middleton being picked as a reserve is stupid. I guess we've arrived at the conclusion that not only are the players and fans stupid, the coaches are stupid too.
I'm not saying he isn't good. But there are several players more deserving or more worth watching. This is one place where the fans would have gotten it right and not overthought it. LaMelo Ball is the clear pick even if his efficiency is a bit worse.
Maybe? Last I heard, there's a ton of ambiguity around whether the coaches are paying attention to position at all when selecting the reserves.Didn't he only make it because there is a minimum of three frontcourt players on the bench, though?

The tweet is looking at what the net result was. Not what move they should have done right now.The Tommy Beer tweets are a bit dramatic. Portland gave up too much for Covington for sure, but at this point, his service to the Blazers was going to be done at the end of the year anyway. He only had 30 games tops left for them.
Powell trade is a bit trickier. Both he and Trent have signed new deals with their new teams after the trade (would they have re-upped without the trade?), and neither are on terrible contracts, but each at around 16-18 million a year would contribute to Portland's 8th-in-the-league salary and tax issues.
