    that's fair

    what I have a problem with is people 'reaching' for a wingspan argument to rationalize a short lineup or settling for short players

    I’m starting to wonder if Hart and Payton are going to be redundant.

    This is a scorers league.

    Sure, if they're average in other areas, and their only "plus" is wingspan, then it probably won't be enough to overcome other deficiencies. A team full of GP2's would probably be pretty damn good defensively, though. It's all about the individual's overall talents.

    Hart will likely be traded by deadline.

    Honestly Winslow is the one I'm less high on in our rotation.

    Dan Marang is on the radio right now saying that he was told in September that early December was the actual expected return time for those who knew what was actually going on. Says this is actually right in line with a realistic return timeline, and that we shouldn't expect him to actually be in basketball shape until January.

    Re-evaluated in two weeks but he still hasn't practiced. Earliest we'll see him is sometime in mid December...

    Not sure what meaning you are intending with the use of "Capper"? Informer? Complete informer?
    If you are suggesting something different I assure you that you are wrong.

    Massive smear? Very wrong for him to call Danny that.

    Is this gonna turn into a Dame situation where they should have just shut him down?

    Did he say that back in September or is he just pretending to be an insider now?

    In mid-October, when it was posted that Payton was "2 weeks away" from action I made a joke that in Blazer-lingo, 2 weeks away in October meant January. Watching the punchline become reality

    Blazers have a history of adding injured players:

    Fabrico Oberto
    Festus Ezeli
    Pau Gasol
    Joe Ingles
    Gary Payton Jr.

    so far those 5 guys have combined for the same number of games as a Blazer as Ibou Badji....or me

    Maybe. I have no idea. I haven't heard him say that on the radio, but maybe on his podcasts?
