    reaching. the last time they played was opening night 3 1/2 months ago. lots of people were holding durant in check back then. lets see RJ do it now.

    RJ's defense would presumably be an upgrade over outlaw on the perimeter to some extent, but if anything outlaw is the better interior defender and actually doesn't have that bad of defensive stats when playing PF. i haven't seen RJ do anything particularly special on defense this year in 12-13 or so games i've seen.

    it's one thing to say that RJ will bring a vet presence that we don't have, but there is no evidence in any stats from this year that his impact on the court would be significant, let alone "monumental". everyone is assuming he will return to previous form if he's here.

    Nate absolutely loved Sessions after his pre-draft workout for the Blazers last year - he was gushing about him. Hope KP knew what he was doing when he took Kopo at the end of the 1st round instead of him.

    Sessions fell to 56th, we could have easily picked him up with a 2nd rounder.
