Yes. Just watch if he doesn't make the All-Star team.

Though, LA often played his best ball for us after being snubbed for the ASG... he does take it out on the court too. Now, will he play as hard after having been an All-Star? I dunno.

Man, I just have a really hard time calling Leonard a fringe superstar. He hasn't even averaged 20+ for a full season yet. I think he's on his way, and his numbers certainly look good this year, but I'd put him in the "All-Star" category.

DPOY and final MVP gets him there. He's not marketed as one and probably isn't one from popularity contest but I'd put him up there. Kobe never had a season as good as Kawhi. You throw Kawhi on those Shaq or Pau Gasol teams in place of Kobe they win as many or more titles.

Anybody else bummed Dame has to shoot this much for us to have a chance to win games? Don't get me wrong, I love seeing him put up huge numbers, just a bit frustrating sometimes. Can't wait for his first 50 game!

Anybody bummed watching Curry he has to shoot so much for the Warriors to be their best? Or LeBron on the Cavs years ago? Or Durant his first few years with the Sonices/Thunder? Or that Michael Jordan guy; why'd he have to shoot so much? Fans were so bummed.....

What the hell kind of point is that? A teams primary scorer who doesn't provide much on defense has to shoot a ton? Well duh thats why the Blazers are building the team around him!

He isn't leading the NBA in shots, points, minutes, or any such metric so I have no idea what your problem is.

This confused me so much until I realized you were talking about the Leonard on the Spurs.

HAHA yeah there's some over the top homers here from time to time but can't imagine one actually believing that.
 
Even if Dame does get worn out by shooting too much this year; so what? Just reduce his minutes or shots at that point. Its not like we need to pace him for some finals run. Our playoffs are the regular season this year so might as well let him go all out.

Don't try to find a solution to a non existent problem.

To be fair, if Meyers won DPOY and MVP, he would be considered a superstar... it's just getting there from here that's the challenge!

Yup we're about one border line all star player away from being really really really good.. LMA really missed out. Not that hes playing with scrubs now but he could have gotten a lot more credit on the Blazers instead of being patted on the back being a really good role player on the Spurs

None of your posts show your fandom.

Clyde's best statistical years were before our big finals runs. It happens.
 
If I were you Nate I would be a bit concerned about the company you keep regarding some of your trade ideas ; )

Yeah I would do that; basically everyone except Dame, Aminu and Davis for Paul George. A starting lineup of those 4 is much closer to building a title contender than what we have now. Would be worse for this year though. CJ, Plumlee, Crabbe, Vonleh, Meyers is a lot to give up and certainly puts all our risk in one player.

Don't see any way Indy is interested though.

But yeah thats sort of the premise I think Neil will explorer with the Blazers team building. Eventually he will look to trade a number of our young players to a team with an allstar that cannot contend and needs to rebuild.

I'd rather include Aminu and retain Plumlee, but otherwise I basically agree. However, as Fonz suggested, PG13 isn't going anywhere. If Indy sucked this year, then maybe, but they're playing much to well to sell off their star.

It's probably the top 10 players in the league that would fall in the "superstar" category.

Durant
Westbrook
Curry
LeBron
Harden
CP3
Blake
George
Davis

Maybe Melo, but at this point in his career I'm not sure if he is.

Why is CP3 higher than Lillard? Lillard is far better. CP3 is not an All Star this season.

Natebishop3 said:
Plus, LeBron and Durant play multiple positions, so to say that Durant isn't the best at his position is kinda silly. He can realistically play three positions.

And he's not the best at any of those positions.

Yea Bulls fans were bummed that Jordan had to shoot so much. I hear Warriors fans are jumping off the GG Bridge because Curry has to shoot a lot for them to win.

Um no. You forget how good Kobe used to be. 45/18 games against the Kings. Dominating games down the stretch. Leonard isn't half the player Kobe used to be. If he was, the Spurs wouldn't have lost in the first round last year.

Kobe leads the NBA all time record book in one statistical category.

Missed shots.
 
Kobe has more 50 point games than half our roster has started.... Kobe in his prime was top ten ever in basketball. Top 3 in his position. Leonard is not even close to that in my book.

Exactly. Geezus, Leonard has never even been an All Star.
