    I don't know about that, but I do know that when he is on the last legs of his career I will call him Miles Prunelee.

    I love it! The anti-Aldridge - it's exactly what we need.

    Okay, that's probably the kind of thing that persuaded the Blazers to do it.
    It's also a reminder that they've been shitty drafters in the past, given how low CJ is, so perhaps that ALSO persuaded them to do it.

    I typed this before posting, found the appropriate thread, that I've never opened before, and saw in the post right above that the info was found almost 4 days ago! Well, 42N8Bounce's post didn't have the link, so I'll post it anyway:


    Looking at stats, I just noticed something. Plumlee has the 2nd-highest Win Share and WS/48 (Rudy Gobert is best) among 2013 draftees.

    So, with Plumlee underachieving so far in preseason, and Project Pat somewhat living up to that nickname, is anybody wishing we could have a take-back on this deal?

    Have you seen RHJ play this preseason? http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/nba/2474/rondae-hollis-jefferson

    He is great on D but we won't regret that deal until at least 3 years from now overall (if even then). You could say it would be nice to have the youth but I think we have plenty of that already.

    So maybe not as much of a slam dunk as it seemed but at worse a wash. Pat's boards alone from SG/SF position can come in handy.

    Naa I still like the trade. Pat is a good 2nd round pick and the depth will be very helpful once we have some front court injuries.

    Aminu and Harkless seem to be just as capable as RHJ.

    I think one preseason is too soon to gauge what these guys will become.. PC is a question mark but Plumlee is a rim protector and still overthinking the play sets from what I've seen..once it's second nature, guys will know where other guys like the ball..it's all good.

    I'm just happy we didn't replace a hyphen with another hyphen.

    Exactly. RHJ is literally the same player as those guys

    I am generally in favor of busting hyphens.

    Since we essentially replaced RHJ with Harkless, who I like better, no, the deal is still a good one.

    I think Plumlee is fine, I like him more than I liked RoLo.

    He couldn't be more different than RoLo if he tried. Big defensive presence screen setter...... Vs a faster athletic floor runner. Depends on what you think this teams needs. Rolo was a PERFECT fit for our team the last two seasons.

    Rolo did nothing against Memphis when it counted in the playoffs...I beg to differ..he disappeared after the allstar break last season but didn't miss a comicon or chance to harass a mascot
