    And it's like pulling teeth with you because you're the snarkiest person on this forum.

    You watched Mirotic against players that cant make it to the NBA? Cool. Congrats.

    You make fun of me for using stats, then use an article cherry-picking stats. RIGHT.

    Theres stats you could use to say he's a good defender, and theres stats that you could say he isnt... All I know is hed get BURNED guarding the best players in the NBA. He doesnt have the footspeed and/or the strength to keep up with elite SFs. Layman and Hood certainly cant guard him either.

    Blazer fans underrate defense. Most fans do. You can think he's a better defender. I dont care.

    In love with his core is so accurate.

    That’s true, you don’t want to feel stupid.

    Not at all. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If you say you were on board, I believe you. You are looking for an argument that isn't there

    I am so ready to be disapointed. Here in Switzerland it's already 1.40 pm and the time when everybody sleeps in the US seems to be stopped.

    They usually announce deals up to 2 hours after the deadline, correct? 3 pm ET is deadline to submit paperwork to the league but confirmations can be issued later from what I remember.

    I hope we get at least one new player. Mirotic definitely does have to go somewhere.

    Yes until everything is said and done it could take a few minutes up to an hour. I wouldn't say more than 1h.

    I guess I am just cautiously optimistic. I don't expect anything. I think something needs to be done. I like Mirotic. That would make me happy as a fan because I am tired year after year seeing every damn team in the west make moves and get better while we just stay with our core and keep getting bounced out of the first round because the same old scheme is ran on CJ and Dame defensively and it works every fucking time.

    I would call him reliable. Not in the same league as Lowe or Woj but way ahead the likes of Steve Kyler and those other guys.

    No reason to expect anything more; We've come a long way from the days of "Trader Bob" to the current era of "No-deal Neil". :sigh:

    I'm guessing he meant right at the deadline....or more likely, a trade of significance.
