Who do you think should start at center, assuming Nurkic isn't back yet?

    I give Turner credit. As frustrated as he gets, at least he tries. He gives a shit. Harkless wants to be anywhere but Portland.

    Yeah thats why I said I was 100% sure he will get better. But right now he he needs to slow down and not rush things so much.

    This.

    The nerve of him. Blazers are the ones who saved his career when his old team just dumped him for nothing.

    The feeling is mutual.

    The one thing I will never tolerate is a player who doesn't put forth any effort.

    Let him take his pouting act elsewhere.

    Many here think McCollum is a top-10 League Star. But every team has a guard just as effective.

    Nobody thinks CJ is top 10 in NBA. Top 5 SG is fair though. At least top 10

    He's basically stealing $10 million from Paul Allen this year.

    At this point I'd gladly take what we gave for him (a top 55 protected 2nd round pick) just to get his lazy ass off the team - with the added benefit that it would get us under the luxury tax threshold by over $7 million.

    It would also free up a roster spot and we could use the Crabbe TPE to pick up a player that might actually give a fuck.

    That's what I meant. Every NBA team has a guard who makes a few spectacular shots each game. Read this.

    CJ does more than just a few spectacular shots.

    I was at the game. Not to say we took over the crowd or anything like that, but I was pleasantly surprised with how many Blazers fans were in attendance.

    Great win tonight... Aminu has been very impressive two way player. If he keeps up this shooting and we play more as a team the rest of year than we make a good run
