    Yes. When you have all stars saying they are getting destroyed in practice, it means something

    No, it's just that I really did say that about Oden. I want Zach to be good (and actually thought he showed flashes of real promise in the bubble), but I'm gunshy at this point.

    That's what Dame says about Simons.

    That's cause Simons gets to play against Blazer defense in practice.

    11 games is not a big enough sample size.

    sure it is....I mean, Lillard couldn't have averaged 40 points a game without Zach's presence

    The funny thing is; I suspect Olshey took Collins over a guy like Adebayo because he thought Collins was more NBA ready!

    Jabari Smith was supposed to be an NBA-ready shooter/defender and some people expected him to be chosen #1.
    I think a lot of Blazer fans would have taken him #1 if we had the first pick.
    Maybe the Blazers are better off not having the chance to draft him.

    5 first round picks to acquire Collins, RoCo, and Nance. And people wonder why I wanted the whole office purged, and not just Olshey.

    He has tools and talents but he makes anthony davis look like the iron man.

    Yes he has some bad luck and hopefully this is minor sit back.
