    At his peak, that was 10 points under his average.

    Think about this for a second, the year Wilt averaged 50 ppg, if you held him to 30, he'd need to go out and score 70 the next night, just to maintain his scoring average. How insane is that?

    He scored 26+ points in every game that season, and was only held under 30 twice. He had 45 games of 50 or more points, 15 games of 60 or more points, and had one game with 78 points and 43 rebounds.

    Sorry, but no - paying Barnes/Turner a combined $40M is a HORRIFYING thought. I don't know which would be worse - paying Turner $17M or Barnes $23M.

    This one I'd probably do. I still don't know whether Turner at $17M is worse than Barnes at $23M, but I'd still probably do this trade just to try something new. Barnes MIGHT actually be able to play as a 4th option...while it's clear that Turner can only play as a rec league sub.

    Barnes was a significant contributor on a championship team. He would be a good fit for our starting lineup.

    Nice shit headline. Do they not know it was one person tweeting this, not the blazers organization themselves? Clickbait these days. That’s all news is. It was a funny tweet. Plain and simple. Everybody knows Portland blew that pick in hindsight. Jesus

    Any average SF would've won a championship.

    Aminu has a higher 3pt% than Anderson, and the same volume. Thank god we didn't trade for him.
