Alright, don't start blasting me for creating a thread as this is my first one. Yes, I'm aware I likely offended one of you scum bags just for doing something that is stepping on your hooves, but cup 'em, rub 'em if you need to and don't get 'em all in a bunch. Now that that is out of the way, here is my discussion question: What team(s) would you create out of any of the Blazer players from 2005-2020?
I mean, Dame/Roy/Nic/Aldridge/Nurkic seems like the easy answer on this one. Though I'm sure some would replace Nic with Wes or CJ (slide Roy to 3), or maybe pull LA out for ZBO.
Great lineup! How did I forget about Dre'? There is even a song and everything to remind me, SMH!!! But with the beast mode lineup of the bigs, maybe Dre wouldn't be as needed (at least his post play)?
Dame/CJ Roy/Wes Crash/Nic LMA/Zbo Camby/Lopez Nurk and Oden were injured too much to be considered. Miller, Webster, Rudy, Udoka, Hood, Outlaw, Aminu, Frye, Plumlee, Ed Davis, Pryz were players I really enjoyed here but are behind those 10.
That is a good lineup, too! I forgot GW's nickname (Crash). I was trying to remember, but couldn't, TY! Yeah, I also considered injury prone players and the what-ifs, so I guess it is more a literal "fantasy" team with allowing them to be included. Way to stir the pot for discussion and thinking!
Miles was someone I actually really liked on our squad. I think if we just let him go to free agency and matched a reasonable deal it might have been different. Maybe he stays in better shape and doesn't get injured. Also giving Ratliff that huge extension was dumb. As many detractors as Neil has here you can look at multiple years of this franchise with patterns of much worse decisions being made.
It's my fantasy, so: Dame B-Roy Batum Nurk Andre Miller Oden (all 82 games total) Sergio and Rudy (counts as one) LaMarcus Will the Thrill CJ Viktor Khryapa Rolo/Joel Freeland (toss a coin)
Agreed, I remember loving his game (on the court). Decisions that have been made=story of our lives as fans. So hard, but alas we have pipe dreams and quarantine days to keep us alive. Just be glad you didn't put stock into the Fire.
Nice! Yes, no holds-barred, you choose among the rosters. I love that Sergio and Rudy count as one, lol!!! I was thinking about what if they and Claver all played together (healthy/prime). That would have been pretty fun to see (wouldn't have made my lineup, but fun to see).
