I don't disagree with any of this, other than following the $$$. We can see that the team is already up against the luxury tax, and after this year,...
This is an outstanding post, thank you for compiling all of that. I'm really hoping Nurk and Simons sign for less than $18 million each, and maybe...
That could just mean that he is worth the money this year as a player and a trade piece, as opposed to Hughes and Elleby who are not keepers. If...
Isn't Turner only $70 million over four? They have $75 million. I feel confident that subtracting $5 million makes him go way down the list of worst...
Interesting that ESPN has the Blazers winning around 41 games, which is 11 out of the final 25.
Probably a little pessimistic, but looking at the schedule in March, I think the amazing guard shooting that has been bailing us out in games like...
Agreed. Now that the Blazers are a legit playoff threat, guys like Montero and Alexander probably won't see a lot of minutes. With all of the free...
Lillard has chosen to take the 'chip on his shoulder' approach, and that's fine. I don't think Klay was trying to say that losing to the Blazers was...
I'm still trying to figure out how Paul Allen's deep pockets are a huge advantage for the Blazers. I watched a couple of different teams buy picks...
The important element in that comparison was their fidelity..sorry if that wasn't clear and you got a disturbing mental image from reading the post....
You are right, I am confused. I am confused because you are claiming something for the PER numbers that even the author of them does not claim for...
So...PER itself doesn't measure defense, or take into account critical elements of defense, but by measuring how well someone's offense is against...
Hee hee. The per doesn't rate defense. Classic. I have been taken to task repeatedly in this thread because I did not bow the knee to the mighty...
While I admit that I posited only anecdotal evidence, I have read many posts on this site that proffer much less. Basketball forums are more or less...
I have no problem with your saying that I did not 'prove' that Lamarcus can't play defense against opposing fours, since I neither said that I was...
Honestly, I care as much about hollinger's efficiency rating as I do about the BCS computer rankings. Anyone that watched Lamarcus try to guard Scola...
Outlaw is the guy they would get rid of if Millsap were signed, not Joel (or else, Travis just wouldn't play at the 4 anymore). LaMarcus isn't even...
I respectfully disagree. Millsap is 6'8'', they aren't going to put him in there to replace Joel. That just isn't smart basketball, especially when...
No man, you've got this all wrong (no offense intended). Millsap isn't being signed to replace Joel at all. He is meant to make the team bigger, not...
Why is everyone trying to trade Joel away? The guy has been the backbone of the team. Have we already forgotten why we lost to the Lakers in '99?...
