- Caleb Love reveals that Yang Hansen’s favorite American song is “What the Helly”
- Hansen was asked what English phrases he’s picked up this week and said “What the Helly.” I’m sure someone will post the clip soon and it will go mega-viral.
- Opening night starters: Holiday, Sharpe, Camara, Avdija, Clingan. Grant off the bench.
- BREAKING: The Trail Blazers have signed Yang Hansen to his rookie-scale contract, the team announced. His representatives at Klutch Sports Group negotiated with general manager Joe Cronin to finalize the agreement, per sources. Must credit me with the scoop.
- Tiago Splitter says he was doused by the team with “very cold water” after his first win. “Just to see them smile is a great sensation.”
- Damian Lillard said today at his kids camp in Beaverton that as soon as he got waived, Jrue Holiday texted him the 👀 emoji. Also said he was trying to get Jrue to Portland in 2021 when he was traded from New Orleans to Milwaukee.
- Monday at 6pm the Blazers will hold a press conference with Damian Lillard, Joe Cronin and Chauncey Billups.
- Chauncey Billups was just arraigned in court in downtown Portland and will be released from custody this afternoon. He will be required to surrender his passport and cannot engage in gambling activities, have firearms or travel except to his upcoming trial in New York.
- Media doesn't get to watch practice so take this for what it is, but if there's one player that Chauncey Billups and other players have singled out as having a really good camp so far, it's Shaedon Sharpe.
- Portland's WNBA expansion team will officially unveil its name and branding on July 15 at a public launch party at Moda Center at 3pm.
