    Why isn't this guy on Portland's roster ? This guy would be a perfect fit behind LaMarshmelo . He seems to be getting no PT in Orlando . Would like to see Cunningham experiment end ( he is a tweener ) also.

    Make the trade, Duffer! The Blazers need more undersized PFs who can't defend.

    That wasn't a personal attack and you've probably made HCP cry.

    Bastard! (and yes, this is a personal attack)

    That wasn't a personel attack at all. Just having fun with the rookie saying he doesn't have enough posts to create a thread yet.......... which obviously is NOT a rule around here thus it is funny. There was no personal attack whatsoever! Please fix the reason for your edit.

    I completely agree. Why the fuck was that post edited? Plus, MIXUM probably wouldn't even start this thread, let alone a guy with 60 posts.

    Sorry, didn't think it would be appropriate to put "don't be a dick" as the reason it was edited.

    Last year I wanted Bass but i'm liking Cunningham more and more. He might get pushed around more then Bass would but their is so much more to his game that Bass just doesn't have.

    The Bass hype and love continues to grow.
    Really, it's probably because he's just not all that good. I think he looks like a banger a whole lot more than he actually is.

    I didn't even know who Bass was the first time someone mentioned him in a trade proposal. The guy is an apparition as far as I'm concerned. He doesn't exist.

    Well they are showcasing him since he can not crack there top 10. But in his defense Orlando (like a growing number of teams) would prefer a PF that stretches the floor. (Like Ryan Anderson)

    I think Bass would fill a need for a couple of months. But as stated in the blog, Orlando doesn't really need anything we have to offer. (or anyone else has offered either) They have plenty of Rudy's on their team.

    Edit: we would have to give them 3 of our young player to come up with 4 million in trade assets.

    You want to see the Cunningham "experiment" end after only one year?
    Impatient much.

    Donte is going to become what Bass is except he will cost less money short term and will defend better.

    Interesting I came here because I thought O-Live was childish . I guess I'm not in the "in" crowd .

    Anyway , I know Bass didn't play much last year and we need a B/U four who can rebound . I like Cunningham but he is a tweener, what position is he ? Who can he guard ?

    Sorry for posting , starting a thread . I won't do it again . :confused:

    What makes Cunningham a tweener and Bass not? Combine measurements, they had identical standing reaches, and Cunningham was an inch taller in shoes. Cunningham has two inches on him in the vertical, and they benched the same amount.

    In playing, Cunningham's one year versus Bass' career, Cunningham had a better TRB%, better offensive and defensive rating. I really don't get the Bass love. If he was pudgy with the same stats, I don't think anybody would like him.

    Welcome from O-Live. Nevermind HCP, he's just giving you shit.

    There is no "in" crowd. We're a bunch of crowds of one. :)

    Please keep posting.

    It's just a couple of people. Don't listen to them. We appreciate you taking the time to post here :)

    "LaMarshmello" screams your own depth of maturity. Perhaps a different approach next time will yield different responses?
