    We'll see next year "bruh". If you think teams aren't going to scout him and exploit his weaknesses next year you're fucking crazy. Nurk's a good player, but you're making him out to be the next coming of Wilt Chamberlain. As I say, though, we'll see next year.

    And why did you take my comment so personally? Are you that insecure? Is Nurkic paying you? Are you his agent?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    A lot of people on this forum last off-season weren't buying the Utah hype either. In fact, they were downright scornful of any analyst who picked Utah to finish ahead of Portland.

    Everyone on this forum could probably stand to be a bit less absolutely 100% certain about their opinions. (I am part of this forum.)

    Thibs with 'his guys' in Butler and Gibson, and a competent scoring threat at guard in Teague, should have a pretty big impact on that team. On paper that's a lot of fucking talent.

    Well. I will say one thing about Dame. He may keep his mouth shut regarding player acquisition. But say he wanted somebody gone? Then he'd make like Isaiah Thomas in a heart beat. He does have that kind of pull. If we had an Adrian Dantley situation... bye bye!

    I'm not convinced the chemistry will be there.

    Not sure what your issue is rook but...

    Learn the game then post.

    Edit: Because you did just pull that one outta your ass. Of course teams are going to scout his weaknesses. Shit, they'd better! He's gonna be bustin' shit up next season! Do you need a beard, Captain's hat, and a red blazer?

    Then you double down on the stupidity of your argument by creating a false narrative to argue against. Wilt Chamberlain?? Really?

    Then you make yourself look like more of an ass putting my bruh in quotes, proving that a) you don't know me and b) you got your panties balled up over nothing.

    Again, learn the game then post.

    If he really wanted someone gone they would be gone. Dame believes in his teammates.

    Dame I see good at keeping his mouth shut until he's had enough. Took him forever at the first half of the season to say the team sucked and he obviously held that in. Cj and him have only been campaigning for a free agent for a while now. They obviously want some extra talent. I just wonder how long it takes till dames had enough. I believe he is loyal. But how long will it take for him to finally just say something or scare the blazers into doing something? I mean I don't know maybe I'm wrong and this season will be great but I just feel like we are in for another mediocre season of bitching about Meyers, complaining about the inconsistency of moe, crabbe, turner, etc. with of course trade cj and dame threads

    Dame and CJ were quite vocal Twitter-wise in advocating for George and to a lesser extent, Butler.

    I didn't see either one say a single thing about Butler. They spoke about Porzingis and PG when people specifically asked them questions about who they would want.
