Russell been playing well against some of the top pg's.

28/9 v. Wall
22/2 v. Lillard
40/6 v. Kyrie

:mjgrin: we got one. He's figuring it out.
Lakers get the top pick.

Are you thinking they go Lonzo or Jackson :jbhmm:


I say Lonzo out of the pgs cause I don't see Fultz fitting next to Russell imo.

I would go with Jackson because of his defensive potential and ability to play 2/3. Nothing against Lonzo, but I feel jackson can solve are defensive issues on the perimeter atleast somewhat. With Lonzo we would have a great playmaking backcourt but there would be question marks defensively.

Lol damn why you hate dude so much? Bet you would trade Zach for him with the quickness.

I am mad I am JUST now realizing Portland and Denver playing gotdaaaamn that must be game of the night.

I don't hate Booker. I just think he has a punchable face. He's the heel jock in every teen movie

Going to go down as one of the dumbest trades in recent nba history...

A few years from now this shyt could look Kawhi Leonard / Indiana bad...

They gave Portland the perfect type of player they needed to not just save their season but save their team...

I just can't believe a team had two ridiculously skilled offensive big men and before either one of them could turn 23 they broke them up...

This is the big man equivalent of having a young steph and a young klay together and then deciding after two years "nah it won't work we got to trade one their offensive skill sets are to redundant" :dead:

In defense of Denver, they tried to pair them together and the result was spectacularly terrible. They really didn't have a choice but to move one of them.

This is true. I have been a closest nuggets stan all year and when they played together one of them just ended up standing their doing nothing because both are guys who much prefer to initiate offense for themselves and for others instead of being finishers...

But they are both so young...it's stupid to pull the plug on it just cause it didn't work for the amount of games that they tried it...

And I never really saw Denver really try to structure an offense around the two when they played together...it was just pretty much whichever one of them got the ball first the other guy was just standing their and when I watched them play there was just no rhyme or reason as to how or why one touched the ball and the other did not...

At the top of my list of things I don't like about the NBA is having talented young players but then deciding rather quickly that they can't play together and ship one of them off...

Going forward the blazers are going to be a problem...the nuggets just pretty much created what might end up being a juggernaut of a team in two or three years:yeahok:

Spurs finally outlasted OKC and now all of a sudden here comes a young Portland squad to come in and take their place...AFTER Swag Antonio took their franchise player:yeahok:

Thought we would be done with these dudes...:yeahok:...
