    I'm over it. I think he needs to be moved. We need him to accept an offer and let's get a true center

    Lillard's turnover cost us a dunk on the other end.

    :lol: sorry.

    I really don't get all the anguish. I'm beginning to cherish these games because I'm more concerned with development. Watching Dame come alive in the fourth after a shitty three quarters was encouraging. And that dunk! holy hell! And Nic's triple double very encouraging too.

    We've got things to build on. Wins/losses don't matter much to me right now.

    I do with a cavet, he comes off the bench. And yes I think he would be fine with that and still make 7 MIL. Until someone shows me a team that signs him for 8 plus then I going to laugh that you all think he is going to break the bank. Landry signed a 1 year 8.5 MIL deal. The next year? He got 4 MIL.

    I watched the last play about 20 times I can't really figure out what the hell happened. It looks like LMA 's got away from him which caused Wes to pause for a sec at the same time Crawford slipped through and tripped up LMA which slowed down Wes even more and Crawford gets a pretty clean look and nails it. What a weird play.

    So 7 mm per for a backup PF that gives up what he gives you?

    I'm surprised we didn't put Nic on Crawford.

    You can't see the future man, I going to leave it at that. There is no way imo that he would give up what he gives you coming off the bench playing predominantly against backup bigs.

    Knowing this team they'll probably beat the Pacers.

    I didn't get to watch the game, but I have to say reading through the whole game thread from start to finish was pretty entertaining. Thanks guys!

    As for Lillard he can be so damned good sometimes that it's easy to forget he is a rookie. At least he is learning from those situations but I absolutely agree that we are such a better team when he is more aggressive and that needs to be more than just the 4th.

    I don't believe it is me who can't see the future in our conversation. So your philosophy on building a winning team is to pay a player 7 mm per because he can dominate scrubs?

    I think he can dominate more then scrubs. He is playing out of position remember. That doesn't mean you don't move him to the bench though. It could improve the starting lineup (if you get a legit Center) and the bench unit (which is pathetic)

    The scary thing is he can do this every time. Or at least it looks like it.
