I asked it before and I’ll ask you again. Would you trade our roster for Philadelphia’s? I wouldn’t. And many people had them as a top contender to win it all this year. The Process has been a complete failure.

This is a good question. Maxey is better than anybody on our roster but I’ll take the rest of the blazers over there’s

Really? Why? I’m curious.

Because our team is bad and there's, if they weren't injured at the beginning of the year and fell into a massive hole, is so much better.

I'm not moving off of my opinion, but you tried. Our team is worse today, easily. We have simons and grant and until we don't we will be an inferior team to most.
 
I got a random email today from a former Blazer who I absolutely loved watching play back in the day. Mid 90s….flashy point guard….lefty. Whoever can guess gets a ticket to the Wizards game Wednesday night on @THE HCP .

So you’d rather have an oft-injured roster that is 5.5 games behind US in the standings? I don’t understand that. Even when healthy, they Sixers haven’t been out of the second round 2001. The Process failed. You think they’ll magically be better next year?

There are 2 options here. But if i fly from here the night would be a bit expensive for THE HCP. I pass as would the guy

And still better than our team.

It's okay, you've won some before. I got this one!

Does anybody here agree with Strenuus? We got into a big hole early too and we’ve still rallied to be 5.5 games ahead of the Sixers.

Maxey is far better than any player we have and McCain might be as well. Their contracts of PG13 and Embiid will be a drag on that team for a few years though.

If I could also trade Cronin/Bert/Jody for their management and ownership the answer is an easy yes.

Philly’s management has been awful. Letting Butler go, mishandling Harden, can’t put together a team around Maxey that is better than 20-37. Maxey is good but not as good as Camara. We are 5.5 games ahead of them in the standings.
 
Suns have been leaning into Bol Bol lately. Why isn’t he as good as Wemby?
 
Is NOBODY watching this game…..this shit is bananas.

Wish we could take advantage of horrendous garbage people like the Adelsons like the Lakers did.

Would you have given up Camara, Grant, and this year’s pick for Luka? I wonder if Dallas would’ve done it.

coincidentally, he's also 2nd in the number of 4th Q shots. Funny how that works. Both are raw number though based upon total points and shots

Lebron is 8th in 4th Q ppg:

Diana Taurasi retired after a 20 year career. After winning three NCAA championships at UConn (Coach Geno Auriemma explained UConn dominance by saying"we have Diana, they don't"), she was #1 pick and rookie of the year. She won two MVPs, three WNBA championships and six Olympic gold medals. She is WNBA all time leading scorer.
Enjoy your retirement and start writing Hall of Fame speech.

First ballot if there ever was one. Arguably the GOAT.

Wonder no more, because no.

People are forgetting (probably because he's injury prone) that Anthony Davis is a generational talent. He would go first in any draft not featuring LeBron or Wemby, but including Luka. Dallas wasn't going to do that trade unless a top 10 star was coming back. And BTW, Max Christie ain't looking bad since he became a Mav.
