    What other 7 footer has had his production with his efficiency from all over the floor?

    Duncan and KG never shot threes like Towns. Dirk is the only one that gets close, but he never was as efficient from 2pt land as Towns.

    KAT is a slightly better than average center. That's it.

    How about Bazemore and a 2nd for Marvin Williams? More of a 4 which fills more of a need for the Blazers? Saw this idea on another site.

    You're way off. Check the stats-- you'll be surprised.

    Here are all the guys who have put up 23/10 while shooting 50% from the field, 35% from 3 and 80 from the line (shaq/hakeem/malone obviously throwaways on this list because their 3pt attempts are minimal).

    He's done it twice. What he's doing is unprecedented and no one realizes it. KD is prolly the best closest comparison but he's not really a big.

    He doesn't play defense.

    Read the comment you replied to with your laughing emoticon. Where did I mention anything about defense?

    Trading for a center that doesn't play defense will not help our team.

    Are you even reading posts you're replying to? Because clearly I've been talking about pairing him with Nurkic.

    You didn't so I apologize for inferring that. However, you are advocating trading for him which is stupid.

    Pairing Nurk and Towns would never work imo because defensively speaking, you couldnt leave either one out on the perimeter, or in a pick and roll.

    On a side note, KAT is a huge beta and I hate how soft he plays. Jimmys approach may have been wrong, but his message wasn’t.

    I think the basic idea is that
    1) The Max is cheaper than if you wait.
    2) It improves the stability of the franchise - one less thing to worry about.

    I don’t see any reason for Adams, he’s a lot like Nurk but worse, I don’t wanna pay Nurks backup 25 mil for two more seasons.

    Adam's has typically has one of the highest fgp in the league. sure he is like nurk, but right now there is no nurk. who said anything about keeping him for the duration of his contract? portland needs depth and talent badly.

    Good Whiteside is better than good Adams.
