The fact Lillard talks to the "15th roster spot" guy, let alone has an inside joke with him, tells me a lot!
My god, this whole quote, I went from getting a stiffy to full blown orgasm by the end of the quote. The dude is real, and he's the real deal.
Speaking of free agents, I have been focusing so much on the top of the FA list that I rarely scroll down toward the bottom half. There will be a lot of vets that will changing teams hoping to get that ring. Most of which do not fill a need for Portland, but could help some of our competitors if they stay healthy I could see guys like Eric Gordon coming off the bench for a GS or SA http://hoopshype.com/2016/05/03/nba-free-agency-2016-the-top-players/ Also a good size list of decent, if not one dimensional, centers. (Mostly on the defensive end except Nene) Speights, Mozgov , Hibbert, Nene, Ezeli, Mahinmi........ I wonder about Mozgov. He had a bad year so he will come cheaper. If we strike out on the first tier of centers, he could provide us with some size for those times we need a bigger physical presence. Mahinmi might also be one to consider.
One thing to consider is if the Cavs or Spurs win the championship......maybe Durant does consider the Warriors. I doubt he would join a a championship right after they won it, but what if they lose? Would there be enough balls?
I honestly don't think it would work. I think Klay would want out. There simply isn't enough shots for Curry/Klay/Durant. I think Draymond is fine doing his thing, but Klay has an ego. If Durant wen there, Klay would be the third or maybe even the 4th best player on that team. That's a pretty big step back.
If Olshey was able to get a meeting with LeBron while he was head of the shitty clippers, is there any reason why he couldn't get one with Durant? Who's Durant's agent? As for more realistic options, I personally want DeRozan, but another guy we should go after is Whiteside. I don't really care about the advanced stats in this case, because that man would clean up a lot of our issues inside.
Probably we got him because they thought the Clippers would be here now (he normally covers the Clips).
I'm a Montero fan even though he doesn't get minutes. Seems like he's loving every minute of his time in the league... Oh and he's a baller. I expect him to be an Allen Crabbe type player in the sense that he might not much for a few seasons but eventually his time will come and he will prove he was worth keeping around.
The best part about Dame is we have him for five more years at least. I bet he'd take a smaller contract in like five or ten years to help us sign guys too.
http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=15501597 Arnovitz was on today's Lowe Post. Listen from 55:00 on, he really loves Portland as a city.
You should just listen to the whole thing if you get a chance. Arnovitz is a cool dude. And Lowe is always good.
