Its really not THAT hard. Avoid the 3 guard lineup, except for short stretches. Avoid Melo/Kanter pairing... I think its more that your OP wasn't...
Starters: (2 poor defenders) Dame, Norm, DJJ, RoCo, Kanter CJ subs for the 1/2 with just a little bit of Nas sprinkled in. Dame gets 34 mins, Norm...
I completely agree with you.... but have you forgotten who the GM currently is? I doubt Olshey will look at trading CJ (although he should). Olshey...
They may not even be able to hold off Memphis for #7... Especially considering that Portland plays Memphis 3 times in the next 2 weeks.
The ones that 'should be' making the public stand aren't.... When that happens - it's better to get someone who is willing to make the stand than...
Only teams with a slower pace (less possessions) are Phoenix, Clippers, and Nuggets. These 3 are only 1-1.5 possessions per game behind Portland....
Portland most definitely is the outlier here - by a large margine. Shot attempts (FGA per game) by top 2 players: Utah: Mitchell (20.6) + Clarkson...
I'd give him ~$22/yr as the starting SG
Disagree.. he needs to be the SF and play SG for short stretches. He's one if the few with enough quickness that Portland can finally have a size...
I agree with you. I was thinking about this last night a bit... Does anyone have a way to figure out what Dame's PPP is when he shoots 30+ footers...
Thanks for sharing that article. I have 2 questions/statements from this: 1) I want to know why Stotts says having 'Norman at the three...has been...
This is missing a lot of context... If you are 0/10, dominating the ball, and taking difficult/contested long-range shots.... I'd be furious if you...
Currently - there's none. However, there have been opportunities in the past... PG13 & Jimmy Butler come to mind. However, rumors have always been...
This is exactly correct!
@TBpup - What interview are you referring to here? Is it this one:...
Every thing you just posted falls apart because of this faulty premise. I don't believe the primary goal of the organization is to win and win...
Seriously - Can someone either post what Norman said to Dwight or summarize it? I spent the last 20 minutes trying to find it and cant...
Can someone post a link to this? I'd like to see it, but am not willing to spend 20 minutes trying to find it.
100% correct. This also goes back to coaching. It appears that Stotts and Dame are both fine with him being taken out of the play.
I'd be willing to take the bigger gamble and get the MUCH better player. I'm not an Olshey fan, but this was a very good trade for Portland.
