That's why he would come to Portland, not stay in LA! :cheers:
Normally I'd agree with you, but he only attempted 43 threes in his first four years in the league. He's taken 75 threes this year in the playoffs....
I don't blame you for wanting to keep him. I just want you to add a little voice of reason to the folks who can't seem to tell a difference between...
I'd love your opinion on my Trevor Ariza thread. Please head over there and tell me if I'm crazy for thinking Ariza is better than Batum.
I'm sure this will come as no surprise. I totally disagree with the first thing you said. Ariza is clearly better than Batum right now. I understand...
There is no doubt, there have been times in every game where a post does a wonderful job of getting position and is not given the ball. I guess...
If a team decides they do not want to let a post player get the ball, there isn't much an offensive player can do. Granted, to do that, you're going...
I sent an email to Eric Musselman about the subject. Brought up all my points and the valid counter points (not the ones about him not wanting to...
Show me how you would distribute 96 minutes between LMA, Oden, Joel, and Varejao, I want Aldridge playing no less than 36 minutes, and considering...
I agree that Batum is better than Sergio. I would be surprised if he ends up being a better player than Ariza when all is said and done. I would be...
I guess I didn't use the right words. I would be SHOCKED if he would come to Portland to play 12mpg. Either way, he is going to be opting out of...
It appeared to me that your logic was that since we already have someone starting at SF, we shouldn't try to get someone else that would want to play...
I would agree 7 million a year might be pushing it, I was thinking 6 with annual raises. I'm not trying to knock Batum, and I'm not saying we should...
So he is or is not affected by Portland? I was kinda joking about the bully thing. I don't think many free agents rule teams out based on who has...
I don't totally disagree with you here, he is a solid player. I get a little worried that he never seems to preform well on good teams, but he is a...
Ok, we disagree. Can we at least agree that Ariza can create better for himself and others than Batum? That's so obvious you couldn't possible...
Would you rather have the big bully at school on your side or 100% against you? The fans would quickly forget about the Rudy foul (which wasn't...
You make a great point about his RFA status. However, they are going to have to make decisions on Odom, Brown, and Farmar. Not to mention that...
So Steve Blake is our starter, so we shouldn't go after another PG who wants starter minutes? Come on, that's not an argument. Ariza meets almost...
You should check out the finals, he's done a decent job creating his own shot there. And I have no idea what you are basing Batum's ceiling higher...
Separate names with a comma.
