    Nice response it actually really makes a bunch of sense.

    But as usual certain posters don't seem to be able to stay with a post that is longer than one line or a couple of sentences.
    It's pretty clear i am talking about the Blazers. Incremental steps that are getting the Blazers better.

    Then i follow that with some talk about Davis and my feelings about him ever playing for the Blazers.
    Then i talk about who the Blazers probably should look to re-sign because of the Nurkic injury.
    Then i follow that with Turner.
    Then i follow that with a couple euro's the Blazers should look at.

    Nothing about that post was talking about how the Raptors got to where they are.

    The Raptors would never have beaten the Warriors at full strength.
    But i don't believe in (*) type things on championships. They won the championship. In the end that is all that mattered.

    Either way, everybody knows Ujiri runs the Raptors. And after all the hard work and risk taking he did to build this team; I think when they are celebrating reaching the pinnacle of sports, that he deserves to be out there celebrating with the team.

    At least one witness is saying Ujiri had his pass and the deputy shoved him.

    Really? I don't have any illusions that AD will don the scarlet and black next season. I'd give it a 15-20% chance.

    If we can get rid of ET AND pickup Porter Jr. you do that 100x out of 100.

    Way to devalue the hell out of CJ. I want to see the list of 25-29 players you think are better than him..

    I've been saying this for awhile:

    The Lakers will sign Nicola Vucevic.

    Mark these words.

    Most definitely. However, it's also his responsibility to make sure he has his credentials on him. You can't expect a security guard to know Ujiri from Joe Smoe.

    If that is in fact the case, it changes the situation.

    Take Booker, Gobert, Derozen off the list IMO. I'd even take Simmons off. He's not better than CJ yet. Kemba? Not better than CJ IMO either. Aldridge? I'm biased but not him either.

    This bullshit... Seriously... If he doesn't know who the fuck Ujiri is he's stupid and maybe should be fired.

    Regardless if he had his credentials or not, there's no reason to put your hands on people.

    I'm TIRED of MFs giving police and security guards cover for FUCKING UP.

    Kemba's stats are closer to Dame's than CJ's are to Kemba. He absolutely is a better player than McCollum. Same with Derozan and Booker. Gobert was an all NBA player and consistent DPOY candidate.
