    I dislike him, but the talent and what he brings to a team is undeniable. Think of the extra toughness and CHAMPIONSHIP mentality he would bring to the team. I could see him and Nurk getting into scuffles, but loving each other. Not sure if Stotts would know what to do with him though.

    I agree. I don't think Stotts would start Nurk and Draymond at the same time. So if the Blazers stuck with Stotts the trade might be better off involving Nurk.

    They would be stupid to do that in the long run. Green could play there his whole career and Duramt will be gone soon, he is already getting bored

    I do not agree. I doubt Green will be a Blazer, but if he were Stotts would simply replace Aminu with him at PF. Or start him at SF. Either way Nurk would fit well next to him.

    Which leaves me wondering, which number is bigger: Smith and Korver's combined ages, their combine salaries or their combined defensive ratings. I think I just broke my calculator.

    Seriously, WTF would POR ever, in a million years, consider this trade?

    So, Fultz is taking medical advice from a lawyer, and is seeing a shoulder specialist to treat spiders in his brainpan?

    That makes all kind of sense! :crazy:

    Man, Hinkie was 100% right.

    Philly made like 10 crucial mistakes during The Process, yet The Process still prevailed while taking a huge dump over "Hard Working" franchises like the Pacers,Mavs,Grizzlies and the Heat.

    The Process is like a good card counting system, it doesnt work at all times ,yet it will still make you rich at the end.

    I mean I know the Heat had a Lebron, but I'd rather have the hardware than just hoping they can get there some day. Even the Mavs won one. Were not even talking 1977, were talking this decade. I get what you're saying though. The process at least for them has seemed to work. Sacremento is even having a good year, well compared to the last 15 years or so.

    Why does OKC always get to play teams without their best players?
