    I was shocked by those salaries. There's GOT to be some awkwardness when high-paid rookies get sent down there.

    $13,000 per season is something like $35 per hour if you figure it's for 1/3 of a year and maybe 20 hours of work per week. (Not counting travel as work.). $25,500 would be double the 35.

    How wrong was Rice about Drummond (age:19)?

    PER36: 15 PPG 12 RPG 2.2 BPG

    Advanced: 23 PER 63 TS% 99 DRtg 4.7 BLK%

    Oden's last year (age: 22):

    PER36: 16.7 PPG 12.8 RPG 3.4 BPG

    Advanced: 23.1 PER 65 TS% 100 DRtg 7.7 BLK%


    Drummond was dominant during pre-season and has continued to play very well.

    I'm wondering why Drummond is getting so little burn on such a shitty team though.

    Why were we so wanting freeland to come to Portland? The dude is just one of the worst big men we have on our team

    He played great against NBA bigs (Olympics/Qualifiers) and was probably the best overall C last year in the FIBA.

    The speed of the NBA game has rendered him into what you see -- lost and shooting 6%.

    Freeland looks surprisingly unathletic, too. Wasn't he injured a couple of years ago? Remember when he came to summer league in Oden's rookie year and was dunking all over the place. Now he gets blocked at the rim all the time.

    Freeland used to have some decent spring:

    Steve Jones once had a comment about Rice from their time working together. Something like, "Mike Rice is a magician. He can talk his way out of any argument. At least, in his own head."

    Nuggets have quietly started performing like they were supposed to all along. Can we institute a board-wide ban on mentioning Kenneth Faried?

    not while he's putting up a 21 PER in 30 mpg and leading the league in offensive rebounding. In related news, Nolan Smith can't beat out Ronnie Price for minutes.
