    Silly BGD... What do we need an "answer" for? The actual answer is that LA was sick. He DESTROYS Houston.

    Not every move on the Blazer team needs to be the answer to all our problems

    Doesn't that make him a teammate of Petteri Koponen?

    surprised a team like SA did not claim him, did he go thru the waiver process?

    Yes, but who would SA need to cut to make room? Don't they already have a full roster?

    I always thought Victor might be great playing for Pop.

    Victor will find another NBA job next season I hope, mid season there's just not enough opportunity for him to get a roster spot.

    Claver will likely make more money overseas. Doubt he comes back to the NBA.

    If Sergio and Rudy stayed oversees I'd be shocked if 15th man DNP Claver came back over. No team is paying him more than the minimum here.

    If we still had Sergio, Rudy and Claver then we could have made a push for Pau last summer and Marc this summer and we could have had the Spain national team. That would be interesting to see how they would do in the NBA. Any predictions on how many games a team with that starting line-up could win in the NBA?

    With McScribbles, 5.
    With Stotts, maybe 50. Exposed on D all over.
    With Budenholzer or Pop or Thibs (d-minded coach)...maybe 55 or so.

    48-50 wins. I would say about 7th seed in the West and out in the first round (which is actually a pretty good accomplishment).

    Rubio would need to be on that team too.

    The impact players are the Gasol bros. Put them together with any three average bench players they win near 50 games. Take them off a team with the rest of the Spain stars it'd be one of the worst teams in the league. Marc is the best big man in the game and Pau is a quality all-star too.

    Also Sergey Monya! This is a recent (pre-Victor) Boxscore. Meanwhile, their Moscow rivals CSKA have the other ex-Blazer called Viktor, and also now Andrei Kirilenko.

    Unfortunately, Khimki are in Eurocup, not Euroleague, otherwise we (or at least somebody) might get to see a Real Madrid-Khimki matchup featuring a ton of ex-Blazers (I count PK because he was on our Summer League team).
