    We're going to get the best free agent SF this year... sure he's restricted, but still a FA acquisition. :devilwink:

    Roy will lack any and all physicality very soon into the season, so I don't think SF is in his range. He's a spot up shooter now, imho. I bet Adelman takes a flyer on Williams, who sounds a bit like Jerome Kersey.

    Until this is cleared up, Nic can't/wont suit up for France, right?

    This was taken just two days ago:

    Roy may be the starter by title only but not play huge minutes. You would think it would be easier on his knees to start right after warming up as opposed to warming the bench after warming up.

    I was thinking more Lee at the 3, but I'm not really high on a 6'5" SF. Like I said though, I don't think Kahn and Adelman are done after this anyways, something else is going to happen, be it Lee, a backup big, Roy, and Shved, or maybe something else even.

    He can suit up, he just can't do contact stuff.

    Very good point. First 6 minutes, then first 6 minutes of the 3rd... spot minutes for clutch play in the 4th. 12-16 minutes a game.

    If the Blazers let Batum walk, they would have $14M left in cap space to sign other free agents or make uneven trades ... worth it?

    So the Blazers will only have what 3 million or less left after signing batum, plus if they sign a vet pg first they won't have any cap less.

    Is LMA/Batum a good enough combo to win in this league?

    I'm not putting any expectations on Lillard yet. Hell, this time next year, we may be trading LMA, and trying to go younger still... I don't know what the future holds, or who our core really includes yet. We'll just have to wait and see. That's why tonight's summer league game is like a playoff game for us.

    Give Lillard D'Anotni and watch him make a few all-star games

    They couldn't be more perfect for each other

    Nah, we'll win. And then KS's thread will be :"How many rings will Leonard/Lillard bring us?"

    Meyers Leonard is question mark for me. How good he becomes will determine a lot.

    I like that he wants to pattern his game after Gasol a little bit. I can kind of see it, although I doubt he's ever on that level.

    Leonard is more of a skilled big man than a monster like Oden was.

    Watching Leonard play in the Big 10 this year, I think he is going to be a project. There were a lot of times he left a lot to be desired.

    I think we all know he's going to take some time to develop.

    All I want from Leonard in his rookie year is to not get in foul trouble early
