    11 minute mark for the defense not as important comment. It’s actually comical how bad Stotts was. Imagine the amount of shit the players talked in private if they’re saying stuff like this in public.

    Roy Rogers, not Rodney Rogers. Rodney Rogers is paralyzed from the neck down (not to be confused with Meyers Leonard, who is paralyzed from the neck up).

    I kept thinking it was Rodney too, but then I remembered his dirt bike accident.

    he was always going to be a Blazer because Olshey is secure in his job

    "equal value" is totally subjective. What generates a trade is when two teams get to a point that they assign approximate value to the assets exchanged. I'd think what is stopping a CJ trade is not an equal value equation, but Portland assigning unrealistic value to their side of the equation. That's not to say the other side doesn't do some of the same thing; case in point: Morey

    I think what is stopping a CJ trade is that Dame and the Blazers actually value CJ and don't want to lose his scoring talent ....all the trade rumbling is coming from people who are pretty much just anti Olshey....I'm hoping Chauncey sorts the guard defense out and insists on ball movement from CJ...something he needs badly to hear from his coach. I think Dame was humbled in Tokyo to as far as ISO ball....I think they both know those days left the building when Terry parted ways

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That might speak to the idea that CJ has less value than many people here think.

    The Athletic has CJ in Tier 4 of their list of the top 125 players in the league. Norm is in Tier 5. Given the guys on the list, I don't have a real problem with that classification for CJ. Here's a screen shot of part of the Tier 4 list:

    They've only gone through Tier 3 so far, which has legit All-Star guys like Booker, Mitchell, KAT, Beal, etc. Presumably, Dame will make Tier 1, but that remains to be seen.

    Canada's team is virtually all NBA players, now. I'm so sick that we didn't get to represent this year.

    Jamal Murray
    Cory Joseph
    Nickeil Alexander-Walker
    SGA
    Lu Dort
    Mychal Mulder
    RJ Barrett
    Andrew Wiggins
    Dillon Brooks
    Chris Boucher
    Dwight Powell
    Trey Lyles
    Andrew Nicholson

    Coach: Nick Nurse


    Tristan Thompson doesn't play for Canada.

    Guys like Anthony Bennett, Kelly Olynyk, Nik Stauskas, Tyler Ennis, Justin Jackson, Brandon Clarke, and Mfiondu Kabengele are on the periphery.

    Josh Primo looks like a lock for future teams if not for the fact we're overflowing with shooting guards.
