The dream lives.

DHo has destroyed all of the last few teams he's been on.

He isn’t bad enough of a teammate to destroy that team. All he would have to do is block shots and throw down ally oops

 

[calvin natt]

Howard couldn’t screw up the Warriors. Culture and leadership too deep/established. They’d cut him loose if he was even close to impacting them. He’s better than Zara and Javale

People who don't like Stotts should love D Howard...he's a coach killer

Dwight howard is always waffling and complaining, he is a coach killeeeeeer

I am officially announcing the reason that Sacramento passed on Luka Doncic. The cause was a Blazer.

Georgios Papagiannis (Greece, 13th pick in 2016 draft)--->
473 minutes, then cut (that's the first half of the 1st round, quite a debacle)--->
decrease in Vlade Divac' influence (Yugoslavia)--->
Kings owner repulsion from draftees from that region (Czechoslovakia, Luka Doncic).

PapaG had the greatest Blazer season in history. His PER was 58.

We should sadly inform Bill Stricker that his 47-year-old record as best Blazer ever was smashed.

PapaG is the GOAT!

Well he was a lottery pick. Maybe he does pan out.

 

[jlprk]

In Nurkic' best and last season in Europe, he was only TENTH on his team in minutes per game.

Who was first? Former Blazer NOLAN SMITH.

That team sucked! No WONDER Nurkic had a hard time adjusting to the NBA.

I see Nolan Smith is on Duke's bench as an assistant coach....they hired him as long as he'd stop picking his nose on camera

So for you mentality in Greece is the same as Yougoslavia and "Czechoslovakia" which didn't exist when Doncic was born, by the way. And Doncic comes from Slovenia which is, for your information, a former part of Yougoslavia and not Czechoslovakia. I doubt your reasoning has any legs and your geography/history skills could improve.

That makes as much sense as never drafting someone from Florida because of a bad experience with someone from Michigan.

Regardless of nomenclature, they are in the same region, closer to each other than Florida is to Michigan. My point remains. Divac' stock with his boss has dropped, partially because he wasted the valuable #13 pick. This may have caused their Luka Doncic decision, and the topper is that it has a Blazer connection.

"A trade for...McCollum could involve Robert Covington, perhaps Dario Saric and the 2021 pick." Yes, please.

Vlade's value to Vivek has, and always will be, as a toadie to do his boss' bidding and as a fall guy when things don't pan out. He is the perfect GM for SAC.

Even though Melo would have probably helped us...we kind of dodged a bullet.

Id trade for Mello today.... as long as it's only Turner that we give up
