    Kawhi is one of the few players who isn't going to be making a decision one way or another due to the money.

    Yet it's being reported that he wants a long-term contract due to his injury issues, and that's because of more guaranteed money.

    This whole thing smacks of LaMarcus Aldridge and his bullshit mystery tour.

    You're basically saying that Zach will be a career backup center then as long as he's in Portland. Everything the organization has done so far suggests they think Zach is a PF.

    By not playing him next to Nurk?

    And there will be plenty of minutes behind Whiteside. At least 20. If he shows a consistent shot then maybe they’ll play him next to Nurk once he returns but I personally like him better closer to the basket. He’s got great footwork and we need to feed him in the post more often.

    But Nurk can play high post too, rather effectively.

    If anything it’s stretching and massaging that weak muscle. Getting stronger with each session.

    All these Earthquakes might make Kawhi think twice of going to LA

    Well, I guess it's in their best interest. Those other teams each feel they are getting something worthwhile out of those deals. They could screw over the Lakers and say no, but then the Lakers just would find another taker for their refuse. The only team they absolutely need in on this is the Pelicans, and the Pelicans seem very happy with what they got back. So they have no reason to stop the deal.

    So now the west is 1000% wide open, I honestly think when healthy we may be the class of the conference... that’s no bullshit either.

    Shit, now Toronto is probably gonna blow it up. Lowry, Gasol, and Ibaka will all be on the block.

    hmmm...that Clips team has Jerry West calling the shots and I'd bet he already has plans to fill out that roster real well

    Kawhi & PG13; Montrazel Harrel and JaMychal Green; Beverly and Shamet; Lou Williams and Mo Harkless. There's too much talent and too much length and a whole bunch of decent vet free agents who will sign for the minimum

    We have a lot of size and scoring when healthy. I think it’s close. We are in a seven team race of us, Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, Jazz, Rockets, and Nuggets.
