    It opens things up to bring LMA out of retirement to start at center. Lillard, Durant, and LMA can all fight for the title of Greatest Blazer Ever after we win the championship.

    and the B2B Mavs games in Portland. Dallas was missing most their players over 6'7, Nurk feasted on the featherweight Center C.Wood. Next night, 6'8" Bullocks (stretch 4) was Mavs biggest guy. A resurgent Bosnian Beast dominated a few games against tiny opponents. Played so hard his leg gave out.

    It’s a great trade. We keep our 3 best players and add a HOFer. People talk about swinging for the fences. That’s how titles are won.

    I want to start off by saying Portland was in a no win situation when it came to Nurk and re-signing him they could not afford to let him walk for nothing but someone in the front office had to have known that Nurk at best is a solid player at this point cause of injuries / injury prone . Also the fact he thinks he is a better player and deserves more cause of that opinion that is not true at this time in his career cause the way i see him is he will show 5 to 10 games a season where we go THAT"S the Nurk we want then the rest it's average or worse.

    I think the Blazers should try and trade him and the fans who still think he has some great value need to know at best and longshot at that is the Blazers will get 75% of what some think he is worth and the team would be lucky to get 50 to 60% of that value and this is a fact.

    Got a bag of raw Spanish peanuts, roasted then to top off some massaman curry I made.

    The lees from the bottom of my wine bottle were too blurry to make out. I'll try another bottle.
