How long is Grant out for? I must have missed the memo on that one

Oh yeah, I’ve seen Porter and Green act like they are trying out for the Harlem Globetrotters out there.

Phil Humphrey working with the Blazers now? That used to be my dude back when I did top flight security

I don't hate/love Nurk or Eubanks as much as some of you, but this was my major concern going into the season. This roster is far too dependant on Nurk.

Exactly. When Nurk is playing well this team is hard to beat. When not they must rely on a guy who might should not be in the league that gives everything he has.
Let’s not even think about if Nurk is out for any length of time.

I think the Nurk haters are just victims of their own expectations. They still expect the Bosnian Beast when it’s obvious that the traumatic injury forever changed him. And I don’t blame him one bit. That was a gruesome injury.

I actually think he’s an above average center with a reasonable contract. There are a handful of elite centers above him, but there are a lot more worst centers below him as well.

Ive brought up the starting C salary list ad nauseum. Fully in agreement with you. Just annoyed that he is their target this yr.

He needs support and Eubanks isn’t great. What happens I think is it makes his bad nights glaringly obvious.

I can’t be convinced that Boogie Cousins wouldn’t help this team off the bench. He would help with points and rebounding production for the bench unit. He’s also an underrated defender.

I know the front office is very reluctant to go into the tax and there have been questions about his attitude but I think he would help tremendously. I’m pretty sure Dame has a good relationship with him as well so he could help mitigate any attitude issues that may or may not arise.

Bring back Enes!
 
Keon’s offensive game drives me nuts. Every time he comes in ball movement stops if it goes to him he’s shooting it.

I was thinking watching him last night is how great he could be on defense because he moves so smooth, but his offensive game is so erratic that he can't get onto the court.
