    Claver wants to come back to the NBA where his stat avg was 2 ppg and 2 Reb or asst forgot to look at the 2nd part of his stats for last year. I think a trained gorilla could do better then that and while he might be a nice guy etc please just NO

    My guess is that you didn't see him play in a blazer uniform.

    Wizard mentor what is your point and i did and those stats were from the last year he played in europe not the Blazers -- also maybe a poor joke but whatever

    This is the line from Eurohoops .net

    " Spanish forward logged 2.3 points and 1.9 rebounds per Turkish Airlines EuroLeague game, and 2.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per ACB contest in his last season. "

    This is what I ment do we want a player who did little to nothing in Europe

    Upgrading from Melo and Enis could improve the Blazers a lot. Still want Simmons for CJ though.

    Was Enes really an upgrade from what we got from Hassan Whiteside two years ago? Whiteside made like the minimum too.

    Give me Whiteside all day. He can do everything that Kanter does offensively. But defensively he’s levels above Kanter

    Whiteside made a comment in twitter that the blazers know his number. Something like that. Pretty sure we could get him back for dirt cheap. I love Enes but he is so bad defensively.

    Whiteside is a terrible basketball player, but a decent and cheap insurance policy.

    I’d rather deal with Kanters deficiencies than watch lazy Whiteside. Maybe don’t play Kanter next to trash cans on defense and he would be perfectly fine as a backup C.

    I will admit Whiteside has his faults but he does do ONE thing this team needs -- PLAY D --- now he does gamble on D giving up stupid points but as sad as it is that is still better then the D kanter puts out there.

    BTW -- Not saying the Blazers should bring him back but if i had to choose between Kanter or Whiteside -- i will take the D at this point

    Whiteside isn’t perfect but if he plays the way he did as a starter with us off the bench, I would take him back in a second. I soured on him after Nurk came back, seems like he just gave up, but maybe the last year has humbled him. He’s not gonna be a starter anywhere anyway. He isn’t my first choice (Theis is) but I wouldn’t mind.

    But he doesn't. He's horrible. What he does is help at the rim and swat shots. When he's not doing that he's worthless.

    OK i am not going to argue on something that is prolly not going to happen so i will stand by my statement if between the two -- Whiteside is the lesser of 2 Evils and leave it at that now can we change the subject -- LOL
