    Dear Marcus Morris you and you’re brother are very, very average NBA players and no one cares if your 2k rating is 70 or 75 except you. No knew cares if you or Aminu are ranked 100th best NBA player. Maybe just go out and play and let that do the talking, because unfortunately it hasnt up to this point.

    Why would the Blazers do that? I know the media types like Simmons has some wet dreams where Lillard plays in LA or some other big market, but even Neil isnt stupid enough to trade the franchises best player for two crappy players.

    I’m pretty fucking stupid and even I realize that trading for Lonzo is probably the dumbest thing the blazers could do. He would walk at the first sign of returning to Cali possible, I’d think. Meanwhile, Dame is pretty committed to PDX, seemingly.

    I don’t think Lonzo is crappy however. He is probably above average, in my opinion, but isn’t the offensive weapon we need given his shot.

    Lonzo will look ok with Lebron there but he’s not good. I wouldnt want him.

    Yeah, but later in the podcast Simmons says he thinks Ball and Lebron will play really well together. He is just stirring the pot with the Lillard trade idea.

    I didn't take it very seriously when that was said on the podcast. Bill LOVES to try and rile up Blazer fans and the way this one came out he was trying to not only rile up Blazer fans but also get into House's head. As for Stephen A Smith saying it, when was the last time that talking head EVER had anything breaking to report?
    Also if we were to put Lillard on the Block we could get a hell of a lot better deal then Lonzo and KCP.

    At 8:30 - Steph steps onto the court during an altercation, just like C.J. did last year. Steph actually took more steps onto the court, yet he didn't get suspended like C.J. did for the season opener...

    Ridiculous double standard bythe NBA. That pisses me off.

    KCP?! No. Helllll no.

    Kuzma or Ingram would certainly have to be in the deal.

    Portland has all the leverage here, Billbo Baggins.

    What the hell has Denver done to warrant being a top 10 team? Hell, they can't seem to finish higher than 9th in their own conference.

    I’m not sure about 10th, but they should finish ahead of us right?

    Isaiah Thomas? That is the only addition I see on the roster that could create an immediate jump.
    I do think he will help them off the bench, but it does seem a little too much love.
