I suspect it was his lazy way of swinging for the fences. He probably fancied himself as swinging for stars in the draft, which doesn't require all that messy relationship-building and getting other teams to agree to things, like trades. After drafting Lillard (whether we give him "credit," if...

Washington Home Depots. Be the first team to sell sponsorship for your team name.

Even if in a pure vacuum, Nowitzki and Lillard were comparable talents (which I don't think they were), a true stretch four, one who could shoot like top-end guard, was rarer and more valuable to roster construction than a scoring guard. Comparing Nowitzki to Korver is silly, it's like...

Can we get a grainy photo of Zion allegedly in the Portland airport? Hold onto your shorts.

Quick wasn't "making things up," he was writing an opinion piece about how the Blazers should be exploring all the possibilities, including trading Lillard. If Lillard really got upset about that, that's Lillard having very thin skin.

I'll be interested to see how he looks after the long layoff. The players scrimmaging with him say he looks like the old Klay. If that's true, and he just needs to get his conditioning up--this season is a wrap.

That's nice. It doesn't change my point. I, myself, noted that they do happen. Just very rarely.

I was just trying to bait our Australian Pride member.

@DUB Josh Giddey is a UK player, right? :thinking:
