    I like the idea of Harkless the more I think about it. The last time he was in Portland he was a better player than the Otto Porter of the last two seasons. He also knows the system, so you can plug and play him.

    I wonder how upset he is that he no longer gets to play Hood.

    He has to rewrite all of note cards...oh no

    Seemed obvious to me. The only option was taking Melo's minutes, but that does not help us defensivley.

    So scratch any center off the list. And I don’t think we’re gonna be getting a guard either. Doesn’t make sense with the addition of Powell. It’s gonna be a wing.

    Seems like only Porter and Harkless make realistic sense. I love Dieng but Stotts isnt gonna play him over Kanter, and some of those guards wouldn’t really fit either unless we just decided to play super small lineups.

    I like Olynyk and Bradley. Was all on the Porter bandwagon, but a deeper dive into his numbers this year reveals just how trash he's been

    Here are two players that made All-G-League teams but are not attached (either 2-way player or assignee) to any NBA team:
    Oshae Brissett - second team all-G-League
    Tahjere McCall - all-defense

    Who cares? If they were THAT good of player, they would already be on an NBA roster.
