:stopitslime: There's better and more battle ready Centers out there than Nurk......Ideally I'd take Big Spain, Cousins, AD, WhiteSide, maybe even DJ....
And CJ is cool but the duo of dame and CJ can't coexist defensively.....

A good guard to pick up would be rodney hood :ehh:......

But CJ and Dame are both undersized and get raped against taller guards.....

They're utterly defensiveless against teams like the T'wolves...

Wiggins was shooting like 100% over Dame and CJ, during the last matchup

They play again tonight, so watch Wiggins have has way....

And once again the reason to take Dame over CJ, is dame is a leader....

i feel you on Nurk.. the novelty has damn sure worn off..
Trading C.J. tho fam??

not many 2 guards better than him son..

I like the guard trio with Nurkic and I would hold on to Aminu unless a worthwhile offer comes about. the rest of those guys, I'd try and move and really there is only one player that is difficult to move and that is Turner.

It's one or the other.....

Watch the game tonight and realize how much we're at a disadvantage having two undersized guards.....

Sure they are offensive powerhouses but when a player like wiggins can post up and get buckets like nothing, then there's a problem....

I'd rather be less efficient on offense but have a stronger defense, than have an efficient or powerful offense, yet an exploitable Defense.....

If you move CJ, dame is still such a threat when driving into the paint that he can take 2+ guys away from their man, then kick it back out to someone for an easy bucket or alley op.

I will say this over and over again. No one is getting Kemba without eating Batum's contract. now if Turner is involved in this deal I could see but Hornets would need to add another piece or get another team involved because that is still too much salary to take back. Portland doesnt want Kemba that bad.

this would be the DUMBEST shyt ever.. release Batum just to resign him with a WORSE version of Dame ?

yeah, I just dont see a scenario where there is a Kemba-Dame deal. Dame aint going nowhere anytime soon anyway. The only serious consideration of trading him was for Kyrie and even then the Blazers preferred to deal CJ in that proposal. CJ wouldve been killing it for the Cavs too but Cavs wanted that BK pick so bad. I think Dame and CJ stay together for at least another 2-3 years. they are just too dynamic offensively.

Great numbers I agree and his team is a few games over 500 currently, but I wouldn’t be suprised if they miss the playoffs to nuggets and clippers barring they don’t make trades


I’m aware they don’t pick PGS/SGS. I got the backcourt selections being russ and butler. Frontcourt towns, aldridge and george. Wildcard can be any two from the following klay, draymond, dame and lou williams. And they will most likely lean towards green and klay

So you're going to penalize Dame for his team possibly not making the playoffs?

And in my opinion, the Warriors should not get 4 all-stars

Evan Turner, Moe Harkless and Meyers Leonard are three of the five highest-paid players in Portland. Turner signed for four years and $70 million, Harkless re-signed at four years, $40 million, and Leonard re-upped for four years, $41 million. But Turner has drastically underperformed, while Harkless and Leonard are out of the rotation altogether.

Furthermore, the contracts of Andrew Nicholson ($2.8 million annually), Anderson Varejao ($1.9 million annually) and Festus Ezeli ($333,333 annually) are stretched out to 2024, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

my goodness Portland :scust:
Verajao on that Bobby Bonilla contact :ahh:

All-star voting should just be like all-star teams since teams are being picked by players afterwards anyway
