    Good point. The season before Aldridge left, people here were debating whose team it is. And then Aldridge left because he didn't like the answer.

    That's a lie. He had a friend.

    It was the plane he took back home by himself. Don't deny him that friendship.

    Exactly. I don't get why this topic even comes out. Who cares who is better, they are on the same team. This topic only comes about when people think Dame is playing bad and it's ridiculous, happened last season multiple times

    This board is so bi-polar.

    Half the people think C.J. is better than Dame. The other half think we should trade C.J.

    And then there are those who think Crabbe should be starting instead of C.J. ...

    Extreme diversity in opinions, no doubt about it, but I just laughed out loud when I thought about the opinions spanning such a horizon I had to do a 360°. Lol

    And then there are us who think Dame is better, but C.J. is still a very, very good player and we're lucky to have him on our team.

    That's where I am at and I will take it a step further. we are very lucky to have him on our team because he may end up being the corner stone of the trade that puts us over the top.

    Maybe Dame's been spending so much time w/his music? Just guessing that he didn't work on his game as much in the off season. Or maybe he's just slumping. All I know is that CJ and Dame are both pretty damn good and I am glad they are on our team.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Lillard is probably the second-best scheme-buster in the NBA behind Steph Curry or, at worst, third-best behind Durant too. His ability to shoot out to 35-38 feet, off the dribble, makes him one of an elite class of weapon in the game. Unless his efficiency drops completely off a cliff over a large sample size, he'll always be more valuable than McCollum in my opinion. He simply breaks apart defenses in ways only one or two other guys can.

    And, as it stands, his efficiency hasn't fallen off a cliff--he's scoring at a career-high (and legitimately great) .610 TS%, better than McCollum's very good .586 (also currently a career high). Neither player's defense separates him from the other, but Lillard's Assist Rate is quite a bit higher.

    You weren't saying this when he was averaging 38 ppg and shooting at career high percentages... That's another notion that needs to die...

    And then there are those of us who think that Plumlee is our best player.

    Just because I didn't post that on here doesn't mean I didn't or haven't thought it or spoke about it to friends or other online places. Your assumptions of what people think and how they act because they haven't posted on this social media site "need to die".

    Get over yourself.
