He's Latvian. So he has a Latvian name. That's how that works. Btw kristaps is pretty much the latvian Chris. Not uncommon.
what is "the block"? To even begin to interpret this mind bomb we all must ascertain the true meaning of this phrase, with absolute clarity and like pretty much zero confusion. ok, so lets get into it. THE, (commonly stylized as "teh") is roughly interpreted from OLD english as "the". it is used before things, like "the gangbang" or "the end" Its actually kinda hard to define "the" coherently because its like a bunch of smarty pants english major bullshit that like 1% of the country actually understands, and like zero% of people care about. i know that if you use it like "omg, that new place Fendoria is like THE place to get artisinal watermelon", it means it is like the best place to get that kind of watermelon. but when you use it like that you usually say it like "thee" instead of the usual pronunciation "tha" BLOCK, (commonly stylized as "bloq") can be like all sorts of shit. a block of cheese. a block of wood. a chopping block, a goddamn engine block. you can block a field goal, you can block a slam dunk, you can block someones view, and you can block a path in the woods using a bunch of fallen branches. kids play with them, chefs chop on them and sprinters leave them in the dust. and if you get a mental block and cockblock me on MY block, i will probably knock your fucking block off. i hope this clears things up for you.
I think it be good pairing with them on the court together. The question what we would have to give up to get him. He is on his rookie contract and I don't know what there cap is so that has alot to do who you can give to them to fit with the cap.
3 picks, plus taking on one of their shit contracts for Harkless, Ezeli, and Vonleh might be a good starting point.
And trade Crabbe-Turner for Butler Dame/Napier CJ/Pat Butler/Melo/Harkless Kristaps/Vonleh/Aminu Nurkic/Noah/Aminu
Why not? Give them all 3 picks+Crabbe+Harkless . Normally it cannot work, but if they have to find a trade maybe that's a good one. Although if he really is on the block there are many teams that can give much more. For example the Celtics could easily give their 1st pick+next year's too.
We have to make trades now that I know Dame is making people give up their playoff money. I'd maybe sign here and then tell Dame to fuck off when I got my money.
Yes. KP is much more of a perimeter player with range. He can block shots but is very mobile and can pass it a little bit. The passing part I think would improve in Portland where he isn't
I don't know much about Prozingis. I think a better question is, could we get Porzingis if he's forcing his way out? I read he's also having issues with the Knicks.
