Again, this is a forum. Sabonis to the Blazers is being pondered by national media. We absolutely can talk about it and analyze it.
1. On low volume from 3 for the past 3 seasons, Sabonis has shot 37.3, 37.9, and 41.7 — so he can shoot the 3; scaling up is an unknown, but he’s got a good stroke. His offensive rebounding and rebounding overall are up there. His assists as a big are up there. He’s a playmaker. 2. The weakness is being able to defend PFs for 14 minutes per game playing alongside Clingan (getting up to 28 minutes) and 20 at center. I understand the criticism of trade proposals based on this, but I guess I like the positives far more given that the Blazers have decided not to suck at D at other positions. Billups ain’t having it — there was only so much he could do with Simons AND Sharpe — and at least the one who MIGHT get better at D learned that he needs to significantly improve. 3. It’s a moot point in that Sacramento management cannot be that bad.
I gave my opinion you can agree or disagree and maybe i should not have been so rigid about it but that is how i feel. I stick by the first part of my post but the part of just dropping should have been worded more like -- not a good idea and maybe this idea should just go away etc
Pass on Sabonis Jr and his T-Rex arms. He isn't his father, and he's not a good defender in the paint, and he can't switch to 4s. Plus he's owed like almost 180 million over the next 4 years.
So is this a trade? Or another desire for a trade? Title is very misleading. I thought we had made a move!
The move is to divide Lithuania in the Sabonia and non-Sabonia sections. So far, the split is done without bloodshed
Sabonia was Melania's best friend in Slovenia, until Sabonia moved to Estonia and left Melania all alonia. barfo
I was in Croatia two weeks ago. That whole area loves basketball. Even the young fans were familiar with Drazen and Kukoc—absolutely awesome country to visit. Great food and wine. And the islands are beautiful.
I don't really mind, as the title is improved, but I'm just shocked to see it happen. I have never seen a mod add words or change a post/title on a message board before. Back to the topic, it seems the room is split. I would have thought most people would think getting Sabonis would be a windfall for us.
