    I kind of do, but as a Blazer fan it kind of makes me excited for the season should be crazy competitive.

    Kawhi and PG orchestrated the whole thing to play in LA, not Canada.

    Woj said it was an option for Toronto as well.

    He said Toronto had the option to trade for George, of course they did as OKC is only shopping for best offer. Woj never said Kawhi would agree to resign in Toronto.

    They have more questions than they've had in the last 6 years.

    A lot could go wrong and they don't contend. We've also seen Jerry Rice come back from an ACL tear in 3 months and Curry dominate the league in historic fashion, they added Willey Cauley Stein and somehow kept Kevon Looney. So who the hell knows.

    I could see them winning the west or not getting HCA.

    It seems it was more to leverage the Clippers.

    Is Vancouver getting a franchise back?

    He said "late last night the Clippers were scared that both PG and Kawhi were going to Toronto."

    I NEVER have Portland in my top 5. My love is unconditional.

    I used to think the same about Iverson, but plenty of people are fiercely loyal to both.

    Green had a come to Jesus season of sorts last year. Midway through, he started biting his tongue and not chirping nearly as much at the refs which clearly had become a distraction for him and the team. Even more importantly he gave up junk food and revamped his nutrition dropping 20 lbs. Being that he's in a contract year, I'd expect him to continue this improved focus and be at the top of his game next season.

    I think Utah may be underrated. Mike Conley is (a) really really good and (b) PERFECT for them.

    Plus I think he never liked Durant and will be extra motivated to prove the Warriors don't need him.

    BUT: they're not just without Klay, they've lost Iggy too and while Russell will help to replace some offense, he sure won't help with the defense.

    Love is a 1980's PF? Where did you get this idea? He shot 0.361 from the 3 last year, he is a .370 carrer 3 shooter. He is the classic modern stretch 4 that can actually rebound.

    Love has issues, contract, defense, injuries - but you put him to space the floor for Dame and CJ and have Nurk and Zach cover for his defense - and this team is a problem for every team out there.

    It is said that every historical event can be traced back to Anfernee Simons

    Well the Blazers need a backup PG?

    But he might not be able to keep his old number?
