    Yes I could see the Blazers take a look Giles if he can pass the physical. Good passer and a good rebounder.

    MyLe is doing well in the heat game today. Change of scenery might have been good for him

    Yeah, he has almost as many points tonight (9), as his first four games this year (16 total). Thank God, we got Whiteside.

    I think the heat not using the big men as playmakers at the top of the key simplifies the game for him, he is at the corner 3.and goes for rebounds mostly,.simpler game plan.than Portland

    Yeah, and I really do hope he does good there. He hasn't had a great start, but a bunch of our new guys haven't either. This whole league is going to be interesting a few months from now. (Except the L*kers. They flat out suck. Lol)

    That heat team is interesting. A lot of scorers there.

    Leonard's best game by far to this point with Heat. 16 pts, 3 for 4 on threes. 8 rebounds and another two blocks after three in his last game! Those five blocks are like a half season's worth when with Blazers. He seems to be learning some new tricks.

    Unless there are injuries they will be a top 4 seed. Last season they didn't even make the playoffs.

    I hate how smooth Michael Porter looks for Denver. In 2-3 years if he finally stays healthy he will be a force.

    It does happen but it also makes the player's trade value pretty poor since it ruins their bird rights.

    Off the top of my head I know Korkmaz on the 76ers was re-signed this last summer after not having his option picked up.

    Incredible how people still don't understand that shot clock violation is a team turnover

    That's just it. His option isn't being picked up for lack of ability in my opinion as it seems more to do with his inability to stay healthy. Seems to be more under the covers than what we know. I liked Giles coming out of college and would have been okay with taking a flier on him in the later part of the first round, but it appears the pick was high risk with now limited reward.
