Merged: Portland Rumors, Served Hot

[Minstrel]

lol what?

Why the surprise? Rumor has had them in the Butler trade talks and they have a decent collection of assets.

 

[Eastoff]

Frank and John Collins sorta kinda match the Blazer look with their suits

Bulls? Hawks have similar color too

 

[illmatic99]

I'm not a Kanter fan, but Donnavan can't play Kanter b/c Westbrick doesn't pass the ball to him.

He's a shitty defender and doesn't space the floor. Not sure how he helps us.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Og at 10?

No, Og at 15, Collins at 10.

 

[riverman]

He's a shitty defender and doesn't space the floor. Not sure how he helps us.

you said that before ....you have Aminu when you need to use a better defender a and Kanter when you want to open up the floor for Nurk on offense

 

[e_blazer]

I'm not a Kanter fan, but Donnavan can't play Kanter b/c Westbrick doesn't pass the ball to him.

That and the fact that Kanter thinks defense is that thing in de back yard that keeps his dog in.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Rubio is one guy I wouldn't mind trading Turner or Crabbe for.

 

[THE HCP]

John Collins with the Blazer colors suit.

Same thing RHJ did:

AND DAME!

 

[riverman]

defense is a team skill....folks need to see that a defensive coordinator is the fix there period.

 

[riverman]

anyway...it was something I read and we could get him for Crabbe.....I'd rather have Kanter than Crabbe for even money anyday..

 

[H.C.]

He's a shitty defender and doesn't space the floor. Not sure how he helps us.

Oh I agree with you. I'm literally one of the biggest Kanter haters.
Simply because he's never shown improvement in his game.

But Donnavan can't play Kanter because if Westbrick isn't willing to give Kanter the ball. He's a negative on the floor.

Nevermind the thibs butler thing is real I forgot and they do have a lot of assets I am just wondering what that trade would look like

 

[riverman]

Rubio is one guy I wouldn't mind trading Turner or Crabbe for.

I'd rather have Austin Rivers if that were an option and I want to keep Turner

 

[riverman]

Rubio is one guy I wouldn't mind trading Turner or Crabbe for.

How old is he now?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Woj pre-draft show starting any minute now:

[riverman]

He's 27....looked it up. Not a big fan...Shaun Livingston is a free agent I'd think about though

 

[dviss1]

My $ would be on OG.

We can get Og at #20

 

[Wizard Mentor]

We can get Og at #20

You're not tracking.

He's talking about keeping #15, and trading #20 and #26 + Harkless (or whoever) for #10 to draft Collins. So, we don't have #20 in that scenario.

It's a scenario I'm fond of.

 

[H.C.]

With M&M gone who is going to be on courtside tonight?

 

[Cippy91]

 

[riverman]

With M&M gone who is going to be on courtside tonight?

I would guess Jordan Kent and Michael Holton...maybe Wheels with them...Wheels I think used to do baseball gigs in the offseason...not sure if he still does

Orly.

@Wheels I saw you posting earlier. You doing talkin ball tonight?

 

[Cippy91]

Marc stein says houston is in talks with indiana for PG. Of course Houston has there hands in this too...

 

[BBert]

John Collins with the Blazer colors suit.

Same thing RHJ did:

Silver leaning in for the kiss in vain on draft night.

 

[Strenuus]

Man... 15 minutes to the draft and nothing much.... I love that it comes down to the final minutes. Good stuff.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'd kind of like to walk away from tonight with Giles and OG. And Rubio, if cheap.

 

[BBert]

I'm so pissed I have to work until 5. I always take the afternoon off on draft night, but I couldn't today.

Then I have to pressure wash my deck as soon as I get home. Aargh!

It's killing me.

 

[Eastoff]

Orly.

That's not Brian Wheeler. The real one asked to force this user to change because of confusion.
