how does anyone say Aminu is a "good" shooter, I like the guy a lot but stats are there for a reason, he's avg at best with a career 42.6% FG% and a .32.7% 3 pt %. Granted he's been decently improved at 3 the past couple yrs but it's still not what I consider good, avg at best. That said I'll take him over Hark in a second.

Nobody said he’s a good shooter. Kingspeed opinion doesn’t count

Here are some of the small forwards McCollum (or Lillard?) would theoretically have to guard in a playoff scenario with our three guard lineup.

Durant
Wiggins
George
Kawhi
Ariza

Lol.

Not disagreeing with you but I did laugh thinking about Ariza actually waving Harden, CP3, Gordon and Anderson off because he had the better matchup. I would take that all night long.

How the hell did Magic fall ass backwards into Kuzma?

Also, Denzel Valentine would look damn good as our SF.

You're acting like Crabbe can guard those guys.. You're also acting like that would be a lineup that would play together a lot. Crabbe played 24 mpg. Shabazz is playing 15.

No one is saying "don't go get a SF" who can shoot. But you seem to be confusing Crabbe as one of those. He's not. He only gave us shooting, nothing more.

I think I had them as 5th seed for this season
TOP 3 is as expected, but I had OKC and LAC as 4th and 5th seed, but so far nothing is certain outside of TOP 3

season is long, we could end up higher than we tought, anyway, I just dont want GSW in the first round

I hope Olshey makes a trade that brings Griffin to Portland. That would be fucking huge. For example: Turner/Collins/Davis or Vonleh + 2018 First unprotected + 2019 First unprotected. The clippers could start their rebuild with a couple of picks and zach Collins while they can also trade DAJ. They are not gonna win anything with that roster even they are healthy and Blake is wasting his career with the clippers. Im sure olshey still has a good relationship with the clippers and could make something happen. The only question is is Steve crazy ballmer agree to go rebuilding

Griffin......talent wise would be nice. But how much of a douche bag is he? He sure looks/acts like one, but looks can be deceiving. Maybe away from Doc he would not be as bad. Dame should know him fairly well. So I guess if a move was ever made they would check with him first.

You can not trade multiple sequential years first-round picks. This will not work.

You right i forgot that. Then lets say the 2018 unprotected and the 2020 top 10 protected

We won't get Warriors in the first round (and it won't be because they didn't make the playoffs like KingSpeed predicts). They will finish with the best record in the conference, we will do better than 8th this season. Two teams that finished above us last year - Jazz and Clippers - will definitely finish below us this season. I think Grizzlies will also finish below us, they have been very poor since their brilliant start. Three teams that were below us could finish above us this season - Pelicans, Nuggets and Timberwolves but I think only one of them will.
 
If we somehow trade for Griffin I might just stop watching Blazers games
 
Bad thing is every one is winning besides Denver. okc Wolves and Pelicans, who compete to us, are winning.

Don't expect that we finish better than okc and wolves. Denver ans Pelicans are our Rivals. So denver is loosing and Pelicans will definetly not finish better than us

If clippers trade DAJ to cavs for thompson they maybe go rebuilding

Can't have two straight years without draft picks.

Learn the CBA then post.
 
Thomas Robinson of Khimki Moscow has a broken hand. It's too bad, because he was leading the Russian league in rebounds per minute. Plus, they are my new favorite team and this ruined it. Well, I'll always have #2 Blazers while I search for a new #1.
