I dont get how Harkless’ job seems so safe... I mean maybe its that Ive never thought much of Harkless and Aminu as starting forwards, I like Aminu more than Harkless, but sheesh how have they gone so long without upgrading one of their starters forwards.
Harkless’s DPBM for his career is 1, his OPBM is -1 do you know what you get? You cant divide by what you get from harkless (this is a lame joke lol). I know Harkless and Aminu are decent defenders, but its not like either of them are even close to DPoY types, their just “pretty good”, and most of the time their defense doesnt make up for the lack of offense.
Harkless DBPM is 2.0 this year.
Gonna be honest, people like to complain about the "two small guards" thing a lot, and sure I have argued why I think there are challenges there, but I think they can still win. It's gonna take a heck of an argument to convince me a championship caliber team should be starting Aminu and Harkless though...
I think they can still win as well, they just need to have good defenders around them.
I think they need at least one wing who can be consistent on both ends, doesn't need to need to be a star, but it's gotta be someone who can give you 10-15 point (efficiently) on a consistent basis while also playing solid defense, I'm not sure that player is on their team. We've seen a couple stretches from Harkless, but he has been really, really unreliable...
There's not many available. Layman is your best bet.
Hands Down!
Know they don't need score 15 points a game but they need to be involved in the offensive though. Because when Dame and CJ shoots over 40 shots a game there like 8-17 not very good record.
For Crabbe/Leonard it is possible PA was involved. I doubt he had much influence for Ezili and Turner. Harkless...I can't even hazard a guess. He and Vonleh came aboard about the same time, and he didn't seem to mind dumping him.
Sometimes I wish the Blazers were a bit more transparent - but that is a debate for another day.
Jesus Lord.....what happened to you FAMS? You're never here and now you think we are going to the finals? JinxSpeed hack your account bro? Miss ya man!
It would depend, what if Toronto goes to the finals, then it probably wouldnt matter if the Blazers got to the WCF. What if Philly makes it to the finals? I dont like NO but the deadline moves were good ones.
They are. Never said they were not. Nor did I ever say Olshey should be exec of the year. Was simply acknowledging something I saw from a different perspective if I was to lump Layman into the “recent addition” group. That’s it
Even the best GMs make mistakes. Good GMs don't repeat the same mistake and also recognize their mistakes and move promptly to fix them. Look at the roster and draw your own conclusions. Frankly, this whole argument is getting tiresome. At this point. I rather wish the mods would just close the thread.
Im gonna disagree, I think its a lot less hateful then it was over the summer. I think most of us think the moves before the trade deadline were good, were excited to watch Nurk become the #2, and well so far the seasons gone pretty good and honestly theyve played better this year then last year up to this point.
