    Apparently he waived his "no career in the NBA" clause.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If we want to compete, we need more vets like Giannis and to stop focusing on developing young players like Harkless.

    Do you think that when you look at Kevin Durant?

    Having said that, Mo is the Blazer player who has the most untapped potential, I think. Likely it will remain that way. The reason he's bounced around is that he just doesn't have that drive.

    Bounced around? To all of 2 teams?

    Bounced around? He's on his 2nd team who re-signed him to a 4 year deal...

    You fell for it. Giannis isn't a vet.

    Minstrel's sense of humor is a bit dry.

    But you've got to admit: he's bouncy.

    I mean, the computer can't even get the right "your".

    Is this a DOS machine?

    No, because Kevin Durant is a shooter. Giannis is a slasher and is a closer resemblance to Moe.

    KD CAN shoot but calling him a shooter is selling him short. He slashes plenty.
