    I’m trying to figure out who Johnson is? Does he have potential or was he just filler?

    And was he worth Norman Powell :dry::dry::dry:

    Could we have gotten more waiting until the offseason.

    To me he looks like a kid who can jump out of the gym but doesn’t really have all that much skill and an ugly jumpshot. Of all the young talent on that clippers roster they couldn’t peel off any other prospect?

    Both those trades we made last year still bug me. Powell is a legit contributor in this league. Roco even looked nice in LA down the stretch for them.

    Sad....but justified?

    I would submit it's not good to engage with idiots. It's difficult to not respond, but it's almost like it gives them a platform and validates their idiotic point of view. Smart people will know the difference without having to be told. There is such a thing as constructive criticism, but that is better done in private.

    “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
    “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”

    Has anyone considered that the Blazers signed GP2 because Dame has grown in height as much or more than Ant has during his break from basketball?

    Just wait until Dame is our starting SF and Ant is our PF.
