I hear you, but you have to give up the goods to get the goods. That being said "why trade" and "who's available" are legit questions.
IMHO, this was the bombshell from the articles: Lillard has had and still has friends on the team. Sometimes, these friends get traded, we've even...
Hate to derail the thread, but it might have actually been this guy: [IMG]
To emphasize your point.... Utah scored exactly ZERO points in the last 4:24 of the game. This wasn't an accident.
Iso Joe was also willing to pass, so doubling isn't automatically "just better".
Not new is boring old Ed Davis leading the team in +/-, AGAIN. +21 for the game. Yawn, when you gonna learn some new tricks, Ed?

Don't disagree, but you need talented bigs to take pressure off your smalls. Guys that lead the league in offensive rebounding coming off the bench...
Defense and Rebounding wins championships. Given a choice, you keep a big. Especially over a THIRD small. That's what OKC did getting rid of...
My imagined discussion between the league and the schedule-makers.. "Clash of the Titans - SA vs. GS on opening night!" "Yeah, PDX vs. Utah....
non-OT prediction: ...... After Curry gets paid, GS is in Luxury Tax hell. After paying the repeater tax, they should and will trade Klay.
MO' Problems!
Interesting take by David "LockedonJazz" http://weareutahjazz.com/lockedonjazz/ starting at about the 7:00 minute mark. He talks about why PDX has...
Agreed, everyone on here gets to feel a little smarter with him around. He doesn't make any persuasive arguments at all.
1) OK, I'll bite. Who are these relevant basketball minds you're talking about? 2) I only checked box scores, but Gobert played pretty lackluster...
Quick writes great human interest stories- he should probably primarily write pieces like this.
