    True, but i ignore age when you can still play. Plumdog's game has gone south. What game he had that is.

    Blazers should bring in Meyers Leonard for training camp. See what he looks like and give him a chance to earn a roster spot.

    Why in the world would Detroit give up their best big?

    What could we possibly offer?

    Yeah, would love to get him but I think if Hawks trade a C it will be Capella as Okongwu is ready to start IMO

    How has Plumlee's game "gone south?"

    I suppose you don't know he shot 68 percent from the field last season, which is a career high. His Per 36 PTS were also a career high, along with his 4 offensive rebounds Per 36.

    Below is Plumlee's last game played. These numbers were achieved in 24 minutes of playing time. Made KD and Ayton look like ragdolls under the hoop.
    He actually shoved Ayton out of the way on a Clipper free-throw, grabbed the board, got fouled and put it in (1:07 in this video).

    If Ibou Badji's knee is good after his surgery he could be the guy, he was playin well in Gleague last yr and then hurt his knee when the Blazers got him (another big - the curse). 7' 1 inch with 7'8" wingspan, . good rebounder and shot blocker. However Blazers would need to extend him a QO and haven't seen that happen yet

    Although we haven't seen news on it, I'm sure Blazers extended the QO to him. It only costs $50k and a new 2-way contract.

    There's sneaky side to you I'm just starting to appreciate.

    RoLo for man-size screens and bodying up / Jock Landale (PHX, RFA) for good speed up and down the court, bigger than Eubanks.
