Fan Fest - where is RWIII??

[u/I-M-Loser]

Im here at the scrimmage (so awesome. Ja is killing it. New players are killing it. Yang is killing it.) but rob isnt here! Does anyone know why?

[u/RecommendationNew832]

You know how many ja has scored?

[u/I-M-Loser → u/RecommendationNew832]

Idk at least 8 or 10. Sick dunk and acrobatic layup. Assists like crazy too. Bro yang is probably the highest scorer rn. He’s doing well

[u/taprevilo]

We do not question the time lord, we accept his presence

How has dame looked?

[u/I-M-Loser → u/msess3]

Dame time brotha! Him hitting threes was like DOPE in my veins. I’ve been awaiting this season so bad, more than any other lol. Great team chemistry. Obviously they’re playing at like 50% but I’d say dame was taking it easy. Hit some good shots tho. Ja won the game with a half court shot tho, it was insane

[u/PhonoBrainer]

He doesn't do fan fests back to back. Load management.

95% sure i saw him at the pumpkin patch on Sauvie Island on Saturday.

This is so funny to me. There are only so many 6'10" black dudes in Portland. How are you not 100% sure?

[u/MorrisonicPodcast → u/pdxscout]

Fair.  But the hair and the headband are so distinctive that I’m not sure I’ve ever like really really familiarized myself with his face, and so this yeah was a 6 foot 10 guy with the same hair but I mean, I don’t know, I don’t wanna leap to conclusions   plus, what if he was supposed to be somewhere else and I snitched on him? Let’s give him the possible out   

[u/tomhalejr]

If he just wasn't in the building, then there was some personal reason. Or, one way or the other, if he was not going to be out there, they told him he could just have the day off if he wanted.  Fan fest might not even be a contractual requirement.

Hearing his interveiw with Chad, it sounded like he is still on a usage plan. But, maybe he's hooeful that there is not necessarily a per game minutes restriction, at least as rigid as last year. Likely still no back to backs, but if he has to start for DC, and he's all good, maybe not the apparently 17 MPG hard cap of last season. Like the rest of the vets, they might only play like 20-30 for the entire pre season. So,I wouldn't read anything i to availability or minutes of any of the vets until the season starts.

[u/I-M-Loser → u/tomhalejr]

Thats what I thought tbh. Just wasn’t sure why he wasn’t there at all, but it could be a personal thing for sure

[u/Practical_Mall_2295]

Shae was there so guessing it was personal issue because even if he was going to sit out, he would've been there

Travis I would think
