    We’ll see how this is in 10 years then. Because that’s what you’re doing….looking back on history. There was the same exact vibe during Dame’s prime. “Just need one or two new pieces and we’re there”.

    I only get excited watching Scoot and Shae, but nowhere near to the level of Dame and CJ……. YET! Get me back in the playoffs for 8 straight seasons or whatever it was and they’ll we’ll talk FAMS!

    You get to steer the John Deer, but you don't need to pull the cord to start it.

    There is nothing to wait for, this is a discussion about excitement because of potential. It is true for now, for some of us.

    Billups was an Olhey hire. I suspect Cronin might want to hire his own HC

    I thought he was in a refugee camp before going to Australia? Sudan has had tribal war for a long time, especially South Sudan. I don't think Duop has any issue with Deni and I don't know why that is a topic at all ...across the board this is known to be a supportive locker room.

    So you are trying to tell me that the players that understand that Baseball is not a real sport and is a waste of anyone's time are OK with these people?

    There's an entire thread here on Clingan's impact on the game last night.

    It was actually a startling level role, which is all the more shocking.

    It worked out pretty good... Didn't it just cost us Nurk? And we also got Camara...

    Lol. One or two more All-Stars...

    I don't think anybody really ever thought we had a shot. I enjoyed it. I didn't want it to end. I wanted Dame to retire a Blazer.

    But I never truly thought we had a shot at winning a championship without adding another All-Star or two.

    Nurkic is 30, Ayton is 26. I would think Ayton has more trade value.

    Looks like you needed to learn. Suggesting that Clingan wasn't one of our two best bigs... :gtfo:

    depends on what kind of C a team wants and how much they want to spend for it

    I can't imagine either has much value right now. Ayton is a better scorer and shooter; Nurkic is a better rebounder, rim protector, and defender. But Nurk has become pretty floor bound after his injuries
