    Stotts “system” is my biggest concern on defense. Though to your point I think whiteside will be ok.

    I would like this to be the case. It depends on if Nurk comes back healthy secondarily if Pau can then play 10-15 back up minutes at C on some nights. Porter would really help on the defensive end against some of the high scoring 3/4s and can shoot it from '3'.

    Yes Please.

    Again, I thought that's why the Blazers signed Anthony Tolliver.

    My irritation with posting clips of someone like this Dan Merengue guy on here, is why him? Why not quote and post opinions of every other schlub non member on the internet who has an opinion? If he wants to share his opinion on here, let him do it himself. Why act like his random take is any better than the people who do post here?

    Needed? Maybe not. A positive? Yes. Better than the available alternatives? I have enough faith in NO to say "most likely."

    i think its cool, he's past his best, but i think for what we're looking for from him - some veteran leadership in the bigs, some deep experience, a respected voice in the locker room, a been there done that guy, and id think a guy that legitimately wants to contribute wherever needed and give back in whatever capacity he can.

    all good with me!

    To add to that i believe he will be very healthy this year as he will not be asked to play major minutes. I'm thinking you will watch him in spot minutes and when the matchup dictates a need for him. Maybe the foul trouble filler type role? We all know Collins can rack up some fouls?
