    If we got Bell instead of Swanigan, the roles would be reversed. It' a function of the system, not the players.

    Well, he sure has not seen any PT, so that sounds like a good idea.

    Which big men will Swanigan play against in his first game on Thursday? None other than hairy-chested Duje Dukan, who is famous for selling his name for $50,000 to the World Wrestling Federation.

    Duje Dukan attended the U. of Wisconsin at Croatia. And here I thought I knew every Wisconsin town just because I went through Eau Clair in 1959. I need to unfold my Phillips 66 map in the glove compartment.

    On ESPN 10 years ago, some tough guy would write, "Everything he posts is bullshit. Grrrrr."

    But I don't always. Keep 'em guessing which ones.

    What the fuck does a Golden State Warrior have to do with a Blazer being sent to the G-League? Is it a vehicle to subtly whine? I think so.

    Given that the Warriors have had three big men injured, while Swanigan plays the deepest and healthiest position on the Blazers’ roster, I fail to see any comparison between Bell’s and Swanigan’s relative situations.

    I wasn't a fan of the pick at the time, and I'm still not a fan of the pick. Slow-footed, bigs who play below the rim are not built for the modern NBA.

    What else is there to say? He's ours, so I guess we better hope he turns into something.

    He could probably lose another 30 or 40 lbs.

    This was a bullshit post.

    G-League? H-League? Who cares?
    I'm just excited about your upcoming game threads

    Good. It will be interesting see how he progresses in the "stat padding" league. With our own resident old hippy jlprk giving us in depth updates.
