    Bowie over Jordan and Barkley
    Oden over Durant
    Darko over Bosh, Wade, Carmelo
    Olowokandi over Dirk, Pierce, Carter
    Thabeet over Harden, Curry

    That was easy.

    And he'd vehemently disagree with your opinion on Lillard. So do you think he'd be wrong in that conversation?

    Ehhh, neither Kwame Brown nor Anthony Bennet had great players draft shortly after them.

    Oden was injury, not bust.
    Same with Bowie.

    I didn't think it was THAT obvious. Damn it!

    If you think the Warriors are trash, then the Cavs must be MEGA-trash. If the playoffs started tomorrow, they'd miss it. LMAOOOOO what scrubs.

    Thomas Robinson over Dame was horrible. I think Fultz will be an all star.

    He’s great at drafting. That’s all you need to really be good at in a market like ours. That’s how we will eventually build a title contending team. Olshey can do that. I have no doubt if he was a Gm in a bigger market he would probably eventually win a title. I can see him finally luring free agents to play for his team. It’s hard to do that here.

    Other than that his draft success dating back to the clippers is really quite good. Only thing that holds him back is getting those finishing touches difference makers in free agency. But that’s more the city and out of his control.

    All in all, we are lucky to have him.

    We’d have a disagreement and move on. What’s the big deal? I bet he’d appreciate how I’m not a homer and on Lillards jock..

    Those who irrationally hate always use the "I'm not a homer" bullshit to try and make their argument look more valid.

    They usually try that because they can't back up their talk with stats, observation of details, or anything of the sort. Meanwhile you have balanced basketball fans across this board who do both of those things, who you're calling "homers".

    You know which one he'd respect, and it's not you.

    A WCF team is automatically a title contending team by getting that far..

    Good post, focus on Lillard less, bring this to the table more.

    If this incarnation of the Blazers gets to the WCF that will be like winning the title for me.
