Marcus Morris Questions Al-Farouq Aminu’s ESPN Top 100 Rank
Morris feels like he should be ranked higher than Aminu, he tells Jay King of The Athletic

Dear Marcus Morris you and you’re brother are very, very average NBA players and no one cares if your 2k rating is 70 or 75 except you. No knew cares if you or Aminu are ranked 100th best NBA player. Maybe just go out and play and let that do the talking, because unfortunately it hasnt up to this point.

Bill Simons reiterates the Blazers will trade Lillard to the Lakers. He wants the Blazers to do it for Lonzo Ball and Kentavious Caldwell Pope. How about not no but hell no.

Why would the Blazers do that? I know the media types like Simmons has some wet dreams where Lillard plays in LA or some other big market, but even Neil isnt stupid enough to trade the franchises best player for two crappy players.

I’m pretty fucking stupid and even I realize that trading for Lonzo is probably the dumbest thing the blazers could do. He would walk at the first sign of returning to Cali possible, I’d think. Meanwhile, Dame is pretty committed to PDX, seemingly.

I don’t think Lonzo is crappy however. He is probably above average, in my opinion, but isn’t the offensive weapon we need given his shot.

Lonzo will look ok with Lebron there but he’s not good. I wouldnt want him.

I didn't take it very seriously when that was said on the podcast. Bill LOVES to try and rile up Blazer fans and the way this one came out he was trying to not only rile up Blazer fans but also get into House's head. As for Stephen A Smith saying it, when was the last time that talking head EVER had anything breaking to report?
Also if we were to put Lillard on the Block we could get a hell of a lot better deal then Lonzo and KCP.

Bill Simmons is didactic Masshole of the first order.

At 8:30 - Steph steps onto the court during an altercation, just like C.J. did last year. Steph actually took more steps onto the court, yet he didn't get suspended like C.J. did for the season opener...

Ridiculous double standard bythe NBA. That pisses me off.
 
KCP?! No. Helllll no.

Kuzma or Ingram would certainly have to be in the deal.

Portland has all the leverage here, Billbo Baggins.

What the hell has Denver done to warrant being a top 10 team? Hell, they can't seem to finish higher than 9th in their own conference.

Isaiah Thomas? That is the only addition I see on the roster that could create an immediate jump.
I do think he will help them off the bench, but it does seem a little too much love.

Still excited to see the Michael Porter Williams kid.

yeah eventually. But I can't see how he effects the W-L record
this year.

"Porter underwent a second back surgery in mid-July and has not appeared in a preseason game for Denver. He said he is considered day-to-day and there’s currently no timetable for his return"

He makes their pathetic defense even worse.

The thing that stands out to me on Denver is the lack of a pure PG. Murray always struck me as a undersized SG with mediocre court vision. I'm not convinced that having Jokic as your best passer gets anywhere better than the 8th seed.

At this point in his injury-riddles career, Thomas is going to give up more points than he score for you.

In BOS, they could somewhat hide his poor defense by surrounding him with a bunch of defensive studs. In DEN, he will be surrounded by a bunch of defensive cupcakes.

Just like they were supposed to last year, and the year before?

I think Milsap was out a ton wasn’t he? I’m sure they would have finished higher last season if had been healthy. We’ll see.

Blazers are better than half those teams.

They were last year, which none of the "experts" predicted, but that's why they play the games. 3 - 10 are going to be VERY tight in the West this year. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
