    Roberson is expected to heal fully and be back to %100 in 6-7 months. I was serious about the deal.

    Do you really think they could get something better for Hark? I’d rather pay 9 mil for stellar D than 10 mil for a cheerleader.

    A guard you can't even play in the 4th quarter because of fear that they will intentionally foul him. No thanks, I'd rather have Harkless. I think Roberson is way overrated due to the lack of depth on the Thunder.

    He’s also a gaurd that you can stick on any backcourt or wing player and shut them down, he could offset the “defense” CJ plays. We don’t need to worry about this though cause OKC would never trade him for Harkless.

    Perimeter defense isn't really valuable with the rules of today's game in my opinion. His offense literally makes me cringe more than any other player in the league right now. He would be so incredibly bad on this team.

    Roberson d isn't really all that much better than Harkles and is horrible offensively. With as many weaknesses in Harkless's game, he is still way ahead of Roberson as an all around player.

    Pass.

    Hmm...so a player who was an important piece of a rotation on a team that is ahead of us in the standing is less valuable than a guy who only gets to play if someone is injured? The Harkless experiment is over. Like I said OKC wouldn’t do the trade anyway but if I’m overvaluing Roberson a few of you are really overvaluing Harmless.

    Yes...

    Enter Andrew Bogut. Won a ring with maybe the best team ever. Was an important piece of their rotation...

    What would you give up to retain him?

    I was listening to Canzano yesterday and he said a blazer player gave him box of practice jerseys.
    Didn’t say who or size but I’m guessing it was Meyers?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Roberson's D is far superior to Harkless', and I like Harkless. But I agree that the last thing Portland needs right now is a non-shooter. Harkless can sporadically hit shots, Roberson really can't.

    To be fair, I don't really want either of them on the team right now.

    Maybe he's just trying to tell Canzano in a kind way that's he's a JAG/toadie/waste of space/protozoa in a type of feces to rancid for the human species to smell.

    If I were to give Canzano a box of clothes, I'd make sure they were infested with bed bugs first.

    This is wrong.
    Portland gave up what? 45 made threes over their 3 game road trip? I'd say that's a gigantic reason why Portland went 0-3.
    Perimeter defense, is hugely important in todays NBA.
