    I'm pretty sure we're going to see a shake up this season or at least offseason....our timing for building trade value is great right now though

    we are currently 10th with our two best players out of the line up for extended amount of time. Now I do agree we weren’t good with them this year but really think that had as much to do with Dame not being right and adjusting to new coach. I think we are closer to top 8 then bottom 5 when healthy . I like what I see from the team and Billups system. I’ve said it million times I think Billups wants to form us in the Pistons image or at least more old school model

    IDK?
    People talking about "Billups's System"?
    Dude doesn't seem to know much at all at this point. Multiple losses land directly on him. I'm all about giving him a chance for a couple years but if this stuff isn't fixed in three years I'm gonna turn on him. For the most part he just seems clueless on what is happening on the court.
    IMO they hired a guy who needed a couple more years as an assistant. It's too bad because he's probably going to learn here and his next job will be a bunch better. He's going to burn the rest of Damian Lillards prime years trying to figure out how to coach.

    @Mediocre Man you likely read this atrocity prior to me editing.
    Had some things not making sense. Check it now. I think its all fairly possible aNd curious if you think that could get it done. :)

    Dame won’t bring that much from Philly at this point

    CJ, Nurk, Roco etc need salary coming back
