    Would Dame be averaging 32.8 ppg, 4.6 assists, 5.6 rebounds and a PER of 30.02 if Aldridge was still here?

    Dame is #1 in total points scored and #2 in ppg. He's shooting 50.6% from the field, 39.7% from three, and 90.1% from the line.

    Thanks LMA!

    (Note to rookies: Denny tells the moderators to start a thread every time any silly idea rattles around in their pinheads.)

    I like change, and he bored me. Thus, begone. Same for Batum. Every few years, I like to sweep out the whole team and coach.

    Going to Popovich was best for Aldridge. He's becoming a man now. Maybe he pines for the easy Blazer life, but Pop will improve him.

    I didn't notice you'd been stripped. Which says something about you.

    I stripped myself. I joined a mod nudist colony.

    So you're in the backup mod squad. Like a shadow cabinet, only standing in the rear.

    LMA made the offense less fluid, but it was by design.

    We could use him as a 3rd option right now.

    The point is, if LA had never left, would Dame have grown into the player that he is today?

    NBA FANTASY QUESTION:
    Should I trade Jimmy Butter for LaMarcus Aldridge? I already have Paul George and James Harden already. I could use the rebounding also.

    Yes, he was taking those clutch shots when Lamarcooch was on the team.
    I don't really care if Lillard averages 32ppg or 22ppg as long as the team wins more.

    There are two Lamrcus' ....the one who wanted to be a Blazer forever and the one who took two meetings with the Lakers. I'm glad he's gone now and I think it helped the team culture and Stotts will build the team he wants without inheriting players from bygone eras

    Disagree highly. Butler is way better in across the board stats. I would keep him. Easy to pick up a guy who just rebounds.

    He wanted to make the forum great again so we laughed at him and said it would never happen.
