I would think you are right, but Houston, Lakers, Spurs Denver, or OKC would not be ideal for Portland.
At this point i figure you probably should be writing in green font as it is becoming pretty clear you are joking. Thanks for the laugh.
You still claim, beyond all common sense, that for fun, "to fuck with OKC," Olshey frivolously risked taking on a player he didn't sincerely want, which, had his cunning plan gone awry, would have cost his budget tens of millions of dollars. I'm sorry, but I just phoned the men in the white coats. They'll be at your door in minutes. I asked them to be gentle.
But ZCo is a fine P&R defender. Where he is lacking is offense. Thus, having ZCo and Kanter to use based on need makes more sense. Frankly, when MyLe is playing over Zach it is usually for his offense. Kanter basically replaces MyLe as the offensive backup big option and Zach can be used as the defensive backup big option.
So which contender would that be? I can't see any contending team where he would start. Maybe Boston....
Bartlestein probably “owes” Olshey for helping Kanter get payed. If he doesn’t find Kanter a starting role elsewhere, I could see him pushing him to Portland, assuming the Blazers are interested. Kanter also has experience coming off the bench and finding ways to produce in limited minutes.
I dunno...his last half season in Portland he didn't act happy or play with much enthusiasm. It may have been because he knew LMA was leaving and that that team had run its course.
I'd love to see the face Neil shows when someone mentions that little episode in polite conversation.
When i saw it was the game against Dallas when Wes got hurt. I was in the stands and i watched his entire persona change. He knew the run was over.
All those who lusted after Carmelo, here's your chance. I liked Rolo. Does Caspri have any shooting touch left?
That makes...uhhh.....how many blazers fans are there? Just for comparisons sake, here’s Teodosic last year (ignored his numbers this year since he doesn’t play) vs Turner this year. I’ll say this though. Id rather have Teodosic than Curry. Teodosic is an amazing playmaker and can shoot. We wouldn’t be losing anything.
Curry Hood Turner Harkless Kanter I like that second unit. Good balance of scorers and defenders. Hood and Kanter would be the focal points offensively. But if we acquire a more defensive minded center like Gortat or Lopez I also like this Curry Hood Turner Layman Lopez/Gortat Either option is better than what we have now. I love Collins, and Meyers has played better this year, but I’m not trusting either one in a playoff series. We also get killed on the boards when Nurk is off the floor. That would be patched up with any of the three.
