    Now granted, if this thread is bumped in the future and I'm completely wrong it'll look bad...but I kind of think that Simons could be something special. Not 27-6-8 special, but he could be a really important player for this franchise.

    The NBA is unwatchable, and has been for years. If Portland didn't have a team, I'd literally never watch a game

    I enjoy watching NCAA basketball and it's always revolving with new, young, and sometimes unpredictable talent. I definitely enjoy that product much more than the NBA as a whole. I would not watch the NBA if Portland did not have a team.

    Which is where I am and that is such a departure from the multiple games a week I used to watch. But if I know what is going to happen, it loses a lot of it's intrigue.

    There have always been great teams but you didn't have Larry Bird going to the Lakers after losing in the Finals to them the previous year. That is basically what Durant did and it ruined the competitive balance. Even great teams like the Lakers had the Celtics as a rival. The Bulls were probably the one that didn't really have a rival after they vanquished the Pistons but it was still a whole bunch of 6'6" and 6'7" that weighed 210-220. (Jordan/Pippen/Harper/Rodman)

    Throw the most talented 6'11" guy in the league onto the Bulls of old and it wouldn't have been fun to watch either.

    This is kind of my view. I’d probably drift to hockey, especially if Portland or Seattle got a team

    I don’t think it’s just the CBA. It’s the mentality of this generation. Not sure how to police that. But guys going to chase a ring and guys forming super teams is a thing that isn’t going away soon. The CBA needs to be tweaked to curb this but so much of it is just these guys and the way they think. I’d like ways to get out of contracts somehow. At least to change how it effects the cap or something.

    As for GS, I think they’ll be good for a long time. They are built for it. It’s now a destination city for the first time. Great coach and management of course. Willing to spend. Brand new arena in the City. I can’t imagine they fall apart any time soon.

    I don't agree. In some people, yes.
