    Is there statistics that are actually not factual?

    Or I just dislike it when people continually say the same thing over and over, and do so to annoy people.

    Have I? I merely made my case for Brook Lopez as to why he'd be a huge upgrade.

    And that has what to do with Brook Lopez?

    Oh, that's right, NADA.

    Interesting fact.. Fez thought it was a terrible idea to trade our cap space and pick #11 for joakim noah around draft time.

    He also claimed that joakim 'all star ' noah was a role player.

    Kinda ironic he wouldnt do that deal but he would do lma for lopez, no?

    Why is it that all the brilliant trade ideas come after the trade deadline?

    Noah is the Brook Lopez of the Chicago Bulls.

    The Blazers should look to deal LA for a center. We get our starting center, JJ gets to play PF, and we'd still have a lot of money left over to stack our bench. Maybe even get a guy like Hibbert or Noah.

    Honestly not thrilled with Hickson being in the long term plans. Regardless of where he plays, he's going to be that one sore spot on defense. He's challenging Carlos Boozer and Amare Stoudemire for worst defensive player in the league that plays significant minutes.

    Hickson is a very similar to Faried. He's exactly the type of player I want at PF. He doesn't really suck at defense, he's just not a center. That's why we need to get a center who can play defense. LA isn't a force on defense either, he's no better than Hickson. At least JJ can rebound.

    We don't need a jump shooting PF. We already have 3 jumpshooters.

    It is a little rediculous that LMA doesn't want to be called a Center so he won't guard someone like Kofus and let Hickson guard Faried (who imo he would do better on then a tall lanky white guy).

    You don't even have to call LMA a Center to switch it up on D. Doesn't mean you are playing him at Center on O.

    We are not watching the same player.

    Playing out of position or not, I don't think you can say he doesn't suck at defense with a straight face.

    He doesn't even guard players that could be considered centers half the time.

    But what irks me about him the most is that he never, ever, gives any help defense.

    Doesn't Fez's brilliant idea begin with drafting Teh Soup Juggler?

    Yay, the poster who posts with only animated gif's 75% of the time and yearns for DaKnucklehead Cousins the other 25% of the time now only refers to himself in the third person. Just when you thought he'd maxed out on awesome, he raises the bar yet again.

    I think we could land "Robin Lopez" from NOLA with Hickson (sign and trade). Then we would have that shot blocker and actual "center" without losing too much
