    You guys have no idea how good Norman Powell is.
    Screen Shot 2021-03-25 at 9.51.29 AM.png Screen Shot 2021-03-25 at 9.51.38 AM.png

    He's basically a better Trent. He doesn't rebound, but he also plays defense, and scores the shit out of the ball.

    Only problem is he's an UFA at the end of the season.

    Can we extend him now?

    No he isn't. Gary Trent is 6'6. Norm Powell is 6'4.

    Just enough for Neil to say he did something. He'll be like, "Look, after some teams overpaid for guys we had targeted we had to pivot and picked up a real difference maker in our back court..."

    Portland has always been destined for the play-in game.

    Didn't the Blazers trade Gary Trent Sr to the Raptors too?

    That's not the question. Aldo was saying that Powell is a taller Gary Trent.

    Trent is taller than Powell.

    Normal Powell is like the bastard child of Tony Allen and GTJ. Ill take it. Plus he has a championship ring.
