Rip City Remix games will be televised on local Portland station KUNP, aired live or delayed if they conflict with already-scheduled Portland Trail Blazers games. KUNP is the broadcast partner of the Trail Blazers and already airs non-nationally televised games for the parent club. Now the Remix, Portland’s G League affiliate, will receive the same treatment. Local media member Sean Highkin posted the announcement on X. The Remix games will only air on KUNP, meaning they won’t be available on other networks throughout the Oregon/Washington region that broadcast Trail Blazers games. The Remix will face the San Diego Clippers tonight at 6:00 PM and the South Bay Lakers on Sunday at 3:00 PM, Pacific, though the latter game will be delayed due to a Trail Blazers conflict. You can find the Remix schedule here.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Falcons fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. I can hear every single Falcons fan’s reaction to my headline now — NO SH*T, SHERLOCK. Last week, Falcons fans’ confidence was about where I would have expected it to be. Sure, the Falcons beat the Saints, and that’s always fun. But one of the real kicks in the ass about this season is that the Saints are terrible! That win would have been much more fun if the Falcons weren’t also terrible. Unsurprisingly, the win didn’t move the needle much in terms of confidence. Now the team’s coming off of a loss against another team that’s currently slated to pick in the Top 6 in the 2026 draft: the New York Jets. I dread seeing the results of this week’s survey, but we’re doing it anyway. You know the drill: Take the survey, and tell us why you feel the way you do in the comments. Please take our survey

You can’t turn around in the NBA this week without reading something about a major name being cut, traded, or demanding same. In quick succession stories about Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul, Milwaukee Bucks MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, and former New Orleans Pelicans first-overall pick Zion Williamson have come out. In each case, questions have come into the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag regarding suitability for the Portland Trail Blazers. Would it make sense for Portland to consider, or even chase, any of these big names? Instead of tackling the subject piecemeal in three mailbags, let’s just consolidate the various questions here under the umbrella of, “Is there a chance?” We’ll take the candidates one by one. Chris Paul Anyone who’s read this website for more than a few months understands the meta-attraction of bringing Chris Paul to the Blazers. The Blazers passing over him in the 2005 NBA Draft in favor of Martell Webster and Linas Kleiza has become a mythological cautionary tale. It didn’t take two years for the Blazer’s Edge comments section to begin resounding with, “How does this get us Chris Paul?” after every trade rumor or post. Having Paul finish his career with the team would be legendary, the closure of a narrative that looked like it would never be resolved. Adding to the story: every point guard on the roster right now is injured. The Blazers not only have room for Paul, but need. Unfortunately, almost everything else argues against the move. Let’s start with Portland’s financial situation. The Blazers are only $1.5 million below the luxury tax threshold as we speak. The minimum for Paul is about $2.3 million. Signing Paul would make Portland a taxpaying team. The penalties would be negligible, but they’d also forfeit the windfall that all non-taxpaying teams get at the end of the season: a slice of the luxury tax pie aggregated from all the franchises that went over the tax. That means Portland would probably incur $8-10 million of real cost by signing that $2.3 million contract. That’s a lot to pay for good feelings. The Blazers could avoid this by making a trade before the end of the season to duck back below the line. Would you really want to obligate yourself to making a move with one of your mid-range or higher roster members for the sake of signing Chris Paul at this point, though? Getting a stocking stuffer for your kids is all well and good until you contemplate something like a kitten which will cost you food, vet bills, and lifestyle changes well beyond the moment. All of a sudden that small gift isn’t so small anymore. That’s Paul, given Portland’s financial situation. All of this is exacerbated by Paul’s play right now. He’s shooting 32% from the floor, 33% from the arc. Even with a reasonable (not spectacular) assist level, it’s been killing the Clippers’ offense. Nor is Paul a Jrue-Holiday-like defender who can justify it on the other end. He’d not be that happy with Portland’s frantic pace either. Beyond that, you have the whispers about his intractable attitude, a huge asset when he’s a team leader and one of the best players on the floor, maybe less so as the 8th-10th man in the rotation. That’s particularly true on a young team trying to establish an identity with a (for now) temporary and inexperienced head coach…a team that, when it comes right down to it, isn’t winning that much more than the Clippers. Paul’s vocal presence might be a godsend. It might also be a disruptive disaster. You’re rolling the dice there. Finally, the Blazers have already sung this song twice this year, snagging Holiday in trade and picking up Damian Lillard after the Bucks let him go. How many “rah-rah”, feel good, assistant-coach-in-uniform veteran guards can a team handle? They absorbed Holiday’s large contract and paid Lillard the full veteran’s mid-level exception for multiple years. This isn’t Pokemon. The Blazers do not, actually, have to collect them all. For all these reasons, even though it’d be a great…
