    I'm watching OKC play Dallas right now and Kevin Durant is really good. If we had him taking Aminu's shots, we'd be a better team. Think we can land him? Does CJ/Dame appeal to him more than RW? Come on, Neil. Get it done. He could be the missing piece!

    1. Must sign Kevin Durant.

    Well. The hard part is done. Now I just need to visualize and it will all come true!

    No. The hard part will be getting LeBron to agree to play PF full time.

    Durant is a better shooter than Aminu? News to me.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Thinking Durant is better than Aminu makes you a bad fan.

    Try supporting the team for once, KingSpeed.

    Well done.

    Understatement is not your usual M.O.

    Nice to see you expand your skill set.

    :cheers:

    Obviously we should try for Durant. That means talking to his agent to determine if we have a shot.

    If we don't make an offer it doesn't mean we didn't try.

    I honestly believe we are one of probably a half dozen teams that have a chance.

    (Yeah, ok, cue the dumb and dumber clip LOL)

    The best shot at getting Durant is sending Lillard to talk to him. Durant has played alongside Russell Douchebrook for most of his career, he would love Lillard!

    Maybe Blazers should have canned Terry Stotts and went after Scott Brooks first?
