    Man teams like Memphis with Morant and Jaren Jackson jr, teams like dallas with Luka and Porzingas, okc with their new stud PG are completely passing us up with their future. It’s unbelievable what happened to us and the roster we have

    Can't trade CJ though because he's best buds with Dame on & off the court.

    Looks as if
    Looks as if BonesJones was right when he said he thought Morant might be the best guy in this draft. One amazing thing I have noticed is how few turnovers this young team has.

    Seriously though, shout out to the Jazz for winning 10 straight and even the Grizz for going on a roll right now.

    I wonder how many Grizz fans were adamant that they couldn't trade Gasol or Conley?

    I wonder how many believed draft picks are worthless?

    It's mutual. We all feel like rebuilding and finding your next troll account.

    You do realize that some media people have said the same about 1M and Zack Collins right? Now if you think TMac is the only opinion then so be it but seriously there are a bunch of opinions.
    Now don't get me wrong Morant is good. But he isn't putting up the numbers Lillard did his first year and he certainly isn't putting up what Lillard is now? Granted he is 20 and will continue to improve. But this kid is just another good player at this point.

    Morant: 18/4/7 in 30 MPG @ 20 y/o.
    Dame: 19/3/7 in 39 MPG @ 22 y/0.

    Morant also shoots better percentages.

    Sure. Not gonna even start arguing this. Ridiculous stat comps.
    The guy is a good player. But are you going to cry about every good player that comes into the league? Really?

    i partially blame kingspeed. after dame's .9 heroics and his trolling of clutchfans then coming back here and bragging about it, i am convinced that many of the troll accounts that repeatdly show up are in retaliation for his publicly embarrassing members of the rocket's fan forum. i have noticed accounts that were commenting during game threads using the "royal we" when talking about rocket players in games we were playing them as the opponent or referencing rocket victories at low points in blazer games even if we eventually won the contest. it gets old but one can only hope they eventually grow out of it. course Putin probably could help with some sort of job placement services for these individuals. the fanboys of the former rocket kyle lowery are easily discernible for what they are .

    Yeah man Ja Morant is gonna change the game for sure. Just like
    Luka Doncic
    Ben Simmons
    Malcolm Brogdon
    Remember when Karl Anthony Towns was gonna be unstoppable?
    I remember when Andrew Wiggins was going to be absolutely the MVP juggernaut.
    There was a guy named Micheal Carter Williams that was gonna be a league MVP for sure too.
    Too bad we are stuck with that Damian Lillard guy. He was only was the ROY and 4 time All-Star.
    You know the year before Lillard started playing this guy named Kyrie Irving was considered the cats meow.
    Of course we all thought Blake Griffin was guaranteed multiple championships.
    Tyreke Evans, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and who can forget Brandon Roy.

    No i'm not really worried about a 6-3 PG playing for the Grizz. I hope he has a great career. I hope i get a chance to enjoy it as well.

    Bottom line. Basketball is a team game. One player does not win much.
