    The more pressing question is, who could we have drafted instead of you?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Wish Portland had a lot of guys. We're lucky to have Dame, but the rest...eh. Just have never been able to find that ideal partner star.

    What's been lost in all the injuries this week is that Dame was named an NBA player of the week. Haven't seen any post about that but maybe I missed something.

    that's because the GM isn't looking, convinced that CJ is that star. Settled for mediocrity

    Yes, so we shouldn't get him.

    Bam doing great but he didn't shine until his 3 year though. We really don't know how good Zach 3 year would due to he was hurt all year. Plus both guys are in different system too. Do you think Bam would have those numbers playing beside Dame and CJ I don't hell he would probably would still be backing up Nurk. Some would say he could play the 4 I don't not in Stotts offense system.

    I miss the days when I knew every player on every team. I looked at OKC’s roster the other day and didn’t recognize like 10 names.

    I see where the NBA is thinking of vaccinating players as a public service announcement!
    I figured they'd find a way to cut in line.

    Dame just got Western Conference player of the week. This MVP talk changes weekly until the half way point of the season.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The churn is real. I guess the positive side of it is that many more players get chances these days and probably some players that would never have had a chance to prove themselves as NBA players in the past get to do so now.

    You've already posted this opinion 5 times this week. I'll take Western Conference Player of The Week all day every day.
