    Guys, please respond to the entire context of my post rather than making it into a stupid argument about how much better AD is than Nurk. However much better he is he isn't better enough to lead a team to wins.

    Hey he swept us last year. But more to the point, I think Demps' incompetence and Gentry's general dismissal of defense is the reason he hasn't won more. Three of their four best players all play the same position. What kind of team building is that/

    That's not exactly a great feather to stick in ones cap. I think it says more about Stotts than it does Davis.

    And one last one pic of that stat sheet. Personally I feel many of the differences ARE marginal - including ones where Nurk measures out better than Davis.
    Yes, Davis is better. That's not the argument. The argument is that trading Nurk and not re-signing Davis would be disastrous.

    Someone recently listed all the contracts around the league that expire the same time as Turner/Hark/Leaonard. The market is going to be glutted, and the Blazer deals are waaaay down the list. In plain english - they ain't worth shit!

    I listed four guys in a subsequent post who we might be able to pry away for expiring contracts next year. Whom would you dispute?

    -Porter
    -Wiggins
    -Hayward
    -Gallinari?

    Add one of them to a duo of Dame-AD. Would we not be better than with Dame-CJ-Nurk?

    Serious question bot? Why do you frequently post shit directing people away from this forum to a different forum? It's even worse that you are directing people to an editorial page that is just the opinion of a person who is a fan of the Blazers like we are and has no news or inside sources.

    If Porter isn't traded this season, it is unlikely they will trade him next season. Gallinari - I confess I have no idea. If Hayward is available for expiring contracts, it means his body is shot. Wiggins? Why would you even want him?

    All of this is actually moot. Even if those players are available, why would any of those teams pick Portland's expiring deals over the dozens of others available?

    If this is because of a trade, it better be for AD. Pitchforks come out if we deal him for Gasol.

    Point taken. But I still think we can acquire a third guy at or near Nurk's caliber in a year after we get Dame/AD.

    Maybe it's a Zach/Leonard showcase like how Dame's absence last game showcased CJ?

    Then CJ wouldn’t play either.

    I think they could just be giving Nurk a break. They gave Lillard one last game. Don’t think it’s anything more than that. He may even play.
