Yeah that was a nice little conclusion haha
They were so much worse without Butler. KAT can't carry that team by himself.
They were definitely worse without butler, but they also now get a full training camp without him, and I assume they’ll get something somewhat decent im return too.
Yup. They'll finish 10th though. They're defense will struggle without him.
They might, Im not saying you’re wrong. I think personally Id put them at the bottom of the mix like with the clippers? I guess I just thought that particular comment was interesting, obviously a lot rides on what they get back for Butler. I also think KATs at the age where he’s not anywhere close to done getting better. We’ll see Minnesota’s interesting they sure have a circus right now.
KAT needs help though, regardless.. and right now, he has Butler and a bunch of average to below average players.
Well there’s still some talent on that team, Teagues a solid PG, Taj is a good role player, Wiggins has definitely not lived up to the lofty expectations and hype buts he’s a decent wing.
Compare Teague to other starting PGs in the league.. He's average at best. Below average in the west.
Teague has definitely aged and was never great to begin with just ok. Harkless and Aminu play like 15-20 good games a year their advanced stats look better than wiggins because they are NEVER the 2nd or even 3rd option. They’re an afterthought. Wiggins actually has to play against teams who are trying to play defense on him. I agree wiggins hasnt been good but I still think overall he’s better than Harkless and if he played with Dame and CJ and Nurk would end up having better advanced stats than he has in Minnesota.
Their advanced stats look better than Wiggins because they're good defenders while Wiggins is horrible. Yeah, their efficiency would take a hit in a bigger role but at least they could space for Towns and provide better shooting next to him. He's not better than Harkless at all. If he played with Dame and CJ he'd look better but he'd still be bad, and our defense would take a huge hit (and I don't think our offense would get better)... He'd just take away shots from those two. Yes, he could figure it out and turn into an all-star which might be a reason he'd be a good pickup, but I don't think he'd immediately make us better.
Well it depends on the game for Harkless when he decides he’s interested he’s good. There seems to be about 40-50 games a year he might as well not even be out there...
Do you want me to namedrop the forum every time I get interviewed or appear on a podcast or segment? Haha.
Great Interview and I agree with your comments about the team.
Yup. Since the Morrison days when I'd watch with my grandfather as a kid.
My mom was all set to go to gonzaga from what I heard she decided to get pregnant with me instead. We all make bad choices lol.
Hahaha there's no response for this lmao
Worried about me going Danny Marang on yall?!
Watch out, he'll come in here and yell at you again!
I see you are back to your hatred and complete lack of respect for Aminu.
The "if they remain healthy" is a caveot to us being a sure playoff team with no specifics. On here I said I think we can handle injuries to anyone but Dame and Nurkic, not necessarily that our playoff chances take no hit at all if other guys get hurt. You're misreading things and trying to compare two different statements.
There seems to be a lot of people questioning whether this team can even make the playoffs. I personally think that would be a total failure of a season if they actually miss them. Injuries or not.
Aminu deserves getting no respect on offense and he gets none. It isn't me.... It's every NBA team the Blazers play. Aminu/Harkless deserve the disrespect they get. But lets not get all "Hatred" going. Nobody anywhere has said anything about "Hating" Aminu or Harkless.
