    Star mightve been the wrong word to use. Ball handling go to scorer. To me they are the most valuable players in the NBA today.

    Meaning I wouldn't trade CJ McCollum for Andre Drummond.

    Guys who can create their own offense, put the team on their back, and rattle off three or four straight scores in a minute or so?

    Yeah, we got two of those!

    The don't have to be guards either; Z-Bo carried Memphis for half a quarter last night; he can create points out of nothing.

    True. My whole point is if were trying to win a ring we have to go through golden state right? I just think we'd have a better chance of doing so with a McCollum rather than a Drummond or Okafor

    I agree. We need a Buck Williams without giving up Clyde or Terry.

    You're trippin. I'd make that trade in a heartbeat. Problem is, Detroit would laugh their asses off at the offer.

    Bahahaha. MVP of the 12th seed. Where would the pelicans be without him? The 15th seed?

    He's been an MVP candidate for 2years out of college and is a transformational player.

    If ever there was a player who'd jump at a chance to sign in Portland over his current situation, it's the uni-brow

    Then why are the pelicans the 12th seed?

    Lillard is more of an MVP candidate than Davis.

    Nba coaches would disagree with you on that one. Proof in that is the all star game.

    If the Blazers were the 12th seed, would your opinion of Dame change? Davis isn't responsible for that dumpster fire, he is the victim of it.

    Blazers wouldn't be the 12th seed with Lillard. Too good of a player. Too good of a leader.

    If Davis was such a "transformational" talent and an MVP candidate, he'd carry the team the way Lebron carried the cavs back in the day.

    Warriors won title with 2 stars. We have Dame and CJ. We also have a bunch of young players who can grow into stars. I disagree that we need to find another star to throw in the mix. There's only one basketball.

    He hasn't transformed shit. His team could play just as awfully without him.
