    no shit, then people are advocating getting guys like Derrick Favors as the future? Omer Asik as a franchise cornerstone?

    You said all-star or league leader.

    Neither of which applies to Tony Allen.

    We can also broaden the scope... Shane Battier? Avery Bradley? Iman Shumpert? Clearly, poor defenders.

    Reggie Evans isn't an elite rebounder is he? or Asik? Or Noah?

    That's the first trade I've seen posted that I'd accept for LMA. It definitely make Portland better, and it helps GSW if they get Howard.

    You seriously don't think "First Team All NBA Defense" is not being a "league leader"? we're talking about time tested players, not guys who are elite rebounders who don't play alot and dont get a lot of rebounds. I'm an elite rebounder in the NBA, I just don't get enough PT.

    Not offensively. Which I admitted earlier.

    His offense needs more than a little work.

    Whatever you say.

    So, you'd say if you rank 13th in the ENTIRE NBA in total rebound percentage, you'd be elite, yes?

    so does his rebounding, considering he only broke 10 rebounds 15 times last year.

    13th on the list on a useless stat doesn't mean "elite". Elite means the top 5 in the league. come on, say it. I dare you. Say "Derrick Favors is one of the top 5 rebounders in the NBA". I dare you. I double dare you.

    nice

    Quote BNM

    Guess I shouldn't' complain. The single biggest reason the Blazers will make the playoffs in 2014 is not Neil Olshey (or the acquisitions ofC.J. McCollum, Robin Lopez and Thomas Robinson), it's Josh Kroenke . Thanks Josh!!!

    You're really thick headed. Don't you think he'd be amongst the league leaders if he played the same amount of minutes they did?

    I don't because more minutes never always equate to improved stats.

    So you think in 16 more minutes he wouldn't grab at least 2 rebounds?

    LOL.

    It's kinda sad, signing Freeland appears to be Olshey's worst move so far.

    Derrick Favors is an elite rebounder in the NBA.

    My definition of elite is top 15. Not top 5.

    Great. Then that means we just traded for an elite offensive rebounder! (Lopez was 15th in the league in offensive rebounds last year). And LMA only needed 20 more defensive rebounds over the course of the year to qualify as elite. So close!!
