    May be helpful for Dame's psyche as well.

    Millsap is the obvious addition. Bigman who can fit as both a 4/5. Can stretch the floor and rebound well. And he's attainable with our TPMLE.

    Surprised he hasn't signed yet. Maybe he's mulling retirement.

    If Portland has extended an offer I'd be inclined to think it was for the minimum, or for only 1 year; maybe both

    If a guy hasn’t signed by now, it’s more likely he doesn’t. There’s also not much negotiation needed for some like Millsap as he’s either a minimum or a TPMLE guy. Good guess is he wants the latter and isn’t getting offered it by anyone.

    What do you think of Beasley or Faried? Could either of them fill the 3rd string 5 role?

    I think obviously if I had to choose, I'd take Manimal but I think there are better options out there but if we ended up signing Faried, I wouldn't be too angry.

    Obviously not as good from my perspective but Coach Billups seems to think he is worth it.

    If I’m Paul Milsap at this point in his career I’m trying to make my way to Milwaukee. Not Portland. LoL…..With PJ Tucker gone it just makes too much sense.

    I was wondering how many centers have career years playing on a Damian Lillard team?

    Looking back at Rolo, Plumlee, Ed Davis, Meyers, Nurkic; all of these centers the Blazers have had put up some amazing numbers. They look significantly worse on other teams or in other situations.

    Will we see a similar huge improvement from Zeller?

    Almost all big men benefit from an effective pick-n-roll game. Dame may be the best at that in the league

    I thought you said you didn't know who Zeller was. How do you know he might not improve? Hell, he should improve just by staying healthy.
    Health is the real issue, not his talent.....IMHO
