    there is no 'move' that would put Portland past the warriors, unless it was the Warriors GM trading Durant and Klay to Portland for CJ and Turner

    and about Golden State on the fizzle-out track:

    Durant 30
    Curry 30
    Dame 28
    Klay 28
    Green 28
    CJ 27

    when Curry & Durant are 36, Dame, Klay, & Green will be 34, and CJ will be 33 (and Nurkic will be 30)

    Portland is NOT positioned to take advantage of the Warriors fizzling because they will be fizzling too

    I think if anything takes down GS early it will be internal things. Curry's Ankles, I think you already see his foot quickness has taken a toll. Attitudes and Ego's. KD and Draymond are definitely uhh sensitive (is that the right word...?) guys. Then the other thing is attrition, most of those guys have played a ton of minutes and gone deep into the playoffs every year, the money they have to pay the stars has already hurt their depth too. I'm not saying GS's run is over, not even close. I'm just saying I think there are some signs they may be slowing down already, and what eventually takes them down will probably be more in terms of just internal combustion.

    Stotts was ask a question about Zach in his development and I believe he said look at some of players that got drafted in that draft. I think he see it as Zach is not developing as fast as some those players.

    lol. it was me. That was a baiting post as well as what could be construed as a personal insult.

    You're my boy, and you know that it doesn't exclude you.

    Durant won’t be with the Warriors next year so you’re wrong.

    It isn't bad advice to try. Sure neither one of you is gonna make the team. You probably won't get what your asking for either but it might be worth a shot.

    With the amount of crap we pile your direction seems a little hypocritical to be insulted by something like that. It definitely wasnt meant as a compliment though.

    Honestly, you are a media source and you are trying to broaden your brand. I think it would be super worthwhile to be persistent on asking for credentials.

    I think of it how twitch is, a bit. People will e-mail twitch to ask for partnership (the exclusive group that must meet a high criteria) well before they are eligible... but when they keep working and keep striving and keep asking, they remember that and it may give them a leg up because they show persistence.

    Pinwheel Empire had to start from somewhere... I don't know if they get credentials, but still. People had to start from somewhere to get credentials

    You obviously didn’t get the same memo that Denny, Sly and myself got. I won’t blame you, you’re kinda new around here.
