Bench Made

[ripcityboy]

If Neil Olshey EVER made a trade that cost us Damian Lillard and brought us Russell Westbrook, I wouldn't just hate Olshey with every fiber of my being, I would cease being a fan of the Portland Trail Blazer, cease being a fan of basketball and cease being a fan of life. No greater cruelty could ever be visited upon me.

The only thing that could make me go overboard is if Dame was traded to LA. If that happened I would turn into some sort of weird mumbler who told himself it was 1977 every day.

If Zach moves to the starting lineup as PF, that moves Aminu to the bench along with ET, Stauskas, Curry & Meyers(?). Still a pretty darned good bench.

Also why cant Aminu slide to the three?

Yeah, the same Sam Presti that lost Keven Durant for NOTHING and traded James Harden for a bag of chips. He had the makings of a young dynasty and let it slip between his fingers. His team is 1-4, finished behind us in the standings last year and currently has the highest payroll in the league. That's right OKC has a higher payroll than GSW. It would be worth it if they were seriously challenging GSW, or even HOU, but they aren't. Not even close.

BNM

to be fair, they're a game up on HOU right now...

What a class act and genuine nice person! Humble is good.
What GM in the league wouldn't want Dame to build around?

Because Stotts.
