    I thought Melo was very engaged tonight and his defense was very good. I thought it was his best game as a Blazer. He also looks to be getting into game shape faster than I expected.

    :cheers:

    Kind of, lol.

    But I think there's a difference between speculating whether I think he/they will be back and speculating on what would happen if they were back.

    He seems okay with limited minutes?

    Not comparing their post games whatsoever. Just saying he’s the best post player we have had since LA.

    I think Melo looks better than he has over the last 5 years or so, mentally and physically. I didn't want him then. But now seems like the right time. That year off may have been the best thing for him. And us.

    Shocked if Nurk Vance back? He got hurt in March of 2019, and you don't expect him to be ready to play again within 13 months?

    I think Nurk may and probably will play this year, I dont think he’ll be like we remember (Bosnian Beast), until 20-21 season.

    The last two games have been so much fun, i love it.

    I'm so happy for Melo too.

    and the new jerseys are absolutely fire.

    Nurk and Zach will be back when they are physically ready be back and if this starting 5 is clicking at that time I look at both of them coming off the bench until next year with limited minutes at first.

    With the energy Baze is bringing on defense something tells me he will not be easy to let go either?

    Anthony's eyes got all big and he was grinning before he got to the rim!

    Certainly not the same player anyway. This injury derailed Meyers for a year and a half.

    I don't think any team is going to pay Whiteside all that much, maybe 5-8 mil per ay most?

    Melo's defense isn't terrible but still below average. Combine that with CJ and Dame perhaps being better but still below average as a combo and this group had better score because they aren't slowing anyone down on 'D'. Whiteside can block some shots but is very poor just a few feet from the rim. Rodney is probably the best over all of the group. They will need buckets.

    And i don't think he would want that; so if he has value at the deadline, he should be traded.
