    great point....and nobody is pulling trade triggers until the big 3 have made decisions...James, George and Leonard...then there will be a blue light special to open roster spots...

    For anyone making a summer league thread, NO says that Zach will definitely play. So our current roster is...
    Biggie, Collins, Simons, Trent, Baldwin. (Maybe PapaG?)

    Seems like a good team.

    Summer League is July 6-17:

    Do we really have that much need for Courtney Lee at this point since we just drafted 2 guards and one of them is expected to play a decent amount next season?

    Did anyone see ET's tweet welcoming Simons to Rip City "Aka Dame City *crying laughing face* *crying laughing face*"....

    This guy better be gone, what a freaking joke. It's not even like Dame is selfish or arrogant like that. Turner is probably just salty because he's trash.

    I'm over his exceptionally mediocre play and bummy tweets. Lets not even start on that contract.

    Dames meeting with PA was probably begging him to get rid of this scrub.

    Thank you Dame.

    We're stuck with him and Meyers for at least another year, there's probably no Dwight Howard gift horse trade out there for us. The best we can do is hope the TPE can bring in a better SF and he can be relegated to the end of the bench with Meyers where he can do the least amount of harm.

    That is the most uncomfortable, and least confident I have ever seen NO.

    I didn't get that impression at all...I think after we got swept in the playoffs was the most uncomfortable I've seen him...

    Turner is one of the better locker room influences from everything I’ve read. Hes obviously joking in that tweet.

    ET and Chief are defensive floor generals.Mo's not vocal but he's a good defender....the young guys will learn a lot about good defense practicing against them.

    Two in a row where NO looks un-happy? Yikes!

    I could be wrong, but I didn't take it as a shot at Dame or jealousy. Turner just seems like that guy in the group who is a bit of a smart-aleck and likes busting on his buddies, but it's good-natured. I think C.J.'s shows a little of that, too. Doesn't take things too seriously.

    If you want rid of him because of his contract and performance, I can see that. But I'm not sure he's quite the devil some of us making him out to be.

    I read faces to better understand how a person really feels about a topic. Can not do that reading a forum.

    I did not like what I saw on NO face during this news conference.

    I think these interviews always come off weird because you can't hear the questions and only the answers....sort of dehumanizes listening to it. Makes the guy with the mike seem loud.

    The backstory on both rookies was informative...the Paul Allen input was good too..I thought it was really clear and simple....now he has a couple weeks to move the needle....he said we need a couple roster spots filled...that's informative. He said Trent was NBA ready and Simons would need more time.

    Hmmm. I could hear the questions, most of them, the rest enough to understand the question.
