So which team does Ezeli end up with, and what do we have to add?

I also think Nurkic is already better than Plums.

The only worry is his knees. Blazers. Centers. Knees.

Don't FUCKING jinx us dude!

Plums played 28.1 MPG.

Per 36, he is a 14.2/10.3 C (with 5 assists).

Nurkic per 36 is a 16/11.6 C with 1.6 blocks.

I expect Nurkic will get all the minutes he can handle, though he's not a very good FT shooter (this season, he was over 60% the past 2).

We need a rim protector? We got him. He averaged 2.2 blk and 2.9 blk per 36 the past 2 seasons as well. I believe this year is an outlier.

Having an inside/outside game is going to be a great new look for us.

Young sabas was nimble, like the young Shaq, nurkic unfortunately looks like the old, not jumping sabas... Not saying he would not be good, but sabas he never will be

I am not going to say Nurkic is Sabas or anything but he is plenty nimble.

He's big. I said before, I hope he keeps his weight down

Afflalo got to Portland and one of his comments was what a relief it was to be away from the Brian Shaw locker room....cancerous..said Portland was so different as a culture with the way players are treated and teammates treat each other....Every player who leaves here says it....every player who comes here gets better except Raymond Felton

They'll have him doing that cupping thing before you know it! Our staff is pretty good at it

The corpse of a guy who got hit in the knees by a car.

Oden was 19. His knees were 138. Knees fractured by a car would have stood out more in a physical, I hope.

Oden was like a plywood house in a Florida hurricane with Taiwanese recycled Bud Lite beer can nails

The Studebaker emblem on the xrays threw everyone off. They didn't know what it was.

We say bye bye to Festus this summer and pay the $1M hit to the cap.

I don't think the $1m of cap space is worth trying to sweeten a deal so someone will take the $1M off our books via trade.

That said, this summer, he is $7.7M in trade ballast and the receiving team can cut him and pay the $1M. About a $7M cap space acquisition.

Absolutely, except we likely need the capspace more than a trade partner would.
