    They waived Bayless on June 30, 2017. His contract was only partially ($1 million) guaranteed, so no need to use the stretch provision. He's on their books for $1 million this year and that's it.

    The only WABC on that list is Bill Walton. He's also the only non-Earthling (Darryl Dawkins from the planet Lovetron did not make the list).

    Yes and according to their fans they would prefer Booker to be cut because he occupies the same spot that Ilyasova would take.

    They gave Okafor and a second to acquire him just a few months ago, so that's terrible business. It's amazing how they depreciated Okafor over time. In his first season he looked like a good player in the making and they would have got a high first for him in the off-season, then they basically ditched him to develop much superior Embiid but still kept him on a roster for far too long. Same happened with Noel. They basically gave away the two of them for nothing.

    I also expect them to keep Luwawu for now. He has value.

    The only reason they might not want to let Booker go is that it would make Colangelo look bad for sending Okafor to Nets to acquire him.

    Who is the next Napier we can get?

    Payton looks a steal for Suns. We didn't need him at all but there must be a few more Paytons in the league.

    Filling our bench with more Napiers is our way to fix the roster.

    You guys see that the league rescinded Draymond's last technical? Wouldn't want to hurt the Warriors.

    If you take Dame Lillard, Stephen Curry back in time to 80's/90's basketball. Which player would be more successful?

    I think those teams will likely disappoint us.

Some Okc Fans in a German Thread made Fun that the Blazers needed a last second Game Winner from Dame to beat the fucking Suns, i hate them , i hate Okc and i hate all their shitty fans. We must beat them on saturday, we fucking have to, fucking must win. That Game is too important. Go Blazers!!!!!!

    Yeah - I'd trust Lillard to adapt to the style.
