    I know you were on the Mitchell bandwagon from the start, but you've always gave me some crap (deservedly I admit) for how slow I've been with Zach. I think Mitchell is like Dwade with a 3 point shot, yeah that good, I'm sure you think he's good too, but do you think NO made the right pick?
    The one thing I'll say is Mitchell would've not have gotten the same opportunity in Portland because they're paying so much to CJ.

    Since the CJ contract was given first I’m ok with how it played out. Yeah we could’ve traded CJ but I don’t think we would’ve gotten anyone like Collins in return.

    Yeah, Collins has definitely balled so far this season, but Mitchell that man is for real... To be fair here, Collins as a C/PF is definitely more a position of need for us than guards.

    This post is so annoying and ridiculous. The dude is 8 games into his rookie year and barely playing. How much had Zach played at that point his rookie year? Exactly. FOH.

    I know it's a regular season game, but shout out to D-Rose. He was so fun to watch pre-injuries. Happy for him.

    so did Wes not have a clue what the fucking score was? He intentionally fouls Lebron with 2 seconds left in a tie game???????

    Yeah, it was clearly a foul and a bad one.

    Least he lost his mind at the end of a game in october, instead of the NBA finals.

    He's good on NBA2K. I plucked him out of G League last year and he was a good sixth man. Can stroke the three.

    Yeah, because 2K is ridiculous and overdevelops players in the G-League and overseas.

    My guess (hope) for next year:

    Aminu, Harkless, Leonard, and a pick traded for Porter and Smith at the deadline.

    Curry opts in, Portland splits MLE among Stauskas and Davis, signs Patton and Lydon minumum contracts. Lets Baldwin walk.

    Lillard / Curry / Simons
    McCollum / Stauskas / Trent
    Porter / Turner / Layman
    Collins / Swanigan / Lydon
    Nurkic / Davis / Patton

    Aldridge was 10/13 from field and DeRozen was 10/12 from the field. Amazing. I wonder if Spurs will be good this year.

    Ed Davis? We've been a more efficient bench without him. Otto Porter or MPJ? Who is Smith? I'm lost. These don't sound like needle moving trades. Also- losing Aminu is death for our team unless you have to trade him because you're getting a superstar. Not saying that Aminu is a superstar or even half that but he is incredibly important to us winning games. Getting a so-so player for him would be bad.

    Given TB's views on Collins, I am not sure if that is a bug or a feature. :dunno:

    Otto, and yes, Otto is a needle mover.

    With Collins starting, who do you propose as our 3rd big?

    Were talking about Vonleh right? Cause he did it to Vonleh for a year before they even drafted Zach.

    I wonder just about every year how gettable Thaddeus Young would be.
    If we have to pick from guys on our roster. I have been really happy to see Biggie doing good things, he’s reminding me of Ed. I think there are some match ups that biggies foot speed would be a problem but if he keeps rebounding that way , thats a valuable skill to have.
