Watch KAT's defense this season and how Mikal Bridges responds to it in real time and you'd never want him on your team.

KAT is trash and has never been a winner anywhere he's gone.

KAT was in the ECF last year and his team has a good record this year AND he’s in Cup semis right now.
 
KAT is on a super max and is and will always be a defensive liability.

Nope.
 
Giannis to spurs? I don’t have a link really. Was watching a gamers twitch and his chat was going off about it.

White folks should never really complain about bigotry but dude was just trying to say an outlandish word.
He doesn't really think it was actual bigotry. LOL

Your first eight words aside, I get it, thanks, lol.

As for your first eight words, why not? Bigotry is wrong in any direction, and should be called out by anyone and everyone.
 
Here's hoping the Knicks get humbled by the Spurs tonight and are prompted into trading for Giannis:

Derozan only guaranteed 10 million next year, so primarily a financial move if we wanted to just let him walk.

I wouldn't mind giving up as much draft capital as it would take to land Giannis but I don't want to give up Deni, Tou, Shaedon or Scoot who are all ascending for an aging MVP.

Blazers would have to give up some players along with the picks...Shaedon and Scoot probably among them...Grant for sure...Jrue?

Blazers better get reassurances he will resign before pulling the trigger on any trade for him, or that's a lot to throw a way.
 
Giannis won't work if we are keeping Deni. He is essentially a taller Deni. He drives and kick out. Parking Deni at the corner waiting for kick out is a waste of his skill set. We also don't need Giannis outside shooting threes. Its one or the other and then surround either one with some very good shooters. Which neither of them are. So they cant really play off each other.

Much rather to have a younger and cheaper Deni than an aging and worn out Giannis.

Come on man. Scoot isnt going to hold up a Giannis deal. Neither are Tou or Shaedon. You wouldn't trade all of them but if they live Scoot, you try to hold back your laughter while you call the league to finalize.

Maybe Scoot wouldn't hold up a Giannis trade but he would decrease the amount of draft capital the Bucks would be getting back in that trade.

Also if we're trying to hold onto Giannis it will be important for us to retain a lot of young talent that Giannis can see himself winning with beyond the next few seasons.

As someone pointed out earlier Deni is not a great match with Giannis, so that's another problem to firgure out... along with the fact that you would need an extension worked out with Giannis to do this deal.
 
A starting lineup of Deni and Dame in the backcourt taking turns playing on and off the ball, Toumani at SF, Giannis at PF, and Clingan at center, is pretty interesting. Rob, Murray, Siddy, Matisse, and Jrue backing up? Sign me up.
 
We've finally clawed our way back up to being a .500 team, with promises of being even better in the near future and now we wanna roll the (already questionable) dice for a less than (IMHO) even chance of getting to the finals???? And whether we do or not, in the near future it's almost inevitable that we then end back up on the trash heap because we squandered all our assets on a pipe dream. On paper it all looks sweet, but I just see the reality as something entirely different. Just call it 56 years of being a Blazer fan......Milwaukie with the Dame trade is a case in point. And look at where they are now....and likely to be for some time longer. No thanks.
 
To take the next step to possible contention, this team needs three point shooting badly.
Rather going after Giannis doesn't really fit with Deni and he'd cost to much go after a couple gun slingers that can flat out shoot the 3.
 
Well it was reported that the Blazers had a deal on the table at the deadline and Dondun said next time they would be more aggressive. This is what I like to hear.
