    I went into this post thinking I'd just say "contract year" and end it at that, but now after looking at his stats I'd say maybe, maybe not. His averages, per 36, are not significantly different from his career averages per 36. IF there was some way to have a 2 headed monster of him and Nurk, it'd be awesome. It won't happen, but it'd be awesome.

    Wait, I mean, I MUST ARGUE WITH THIS AND BE STRONG AND POWERFUL.

    I think his peak Miami year when he got 2-3 triple doubles(15/16) was better easily, but this is second best.

    Yeah he had some year where he averaged almost 4 blocks a game, I think.

    Hassan has been excellent. I shudder to think what our team would be like this year without him. Personally, I think there's good chance he finishes the year with us. Nurk will need to ease back into playing time and using the two at center would be very formidable.

    This is his first year playing under the leadership of Damian Lillard, so...yes.

    It is his first year playing under me. Lopez, Plumlee, Nurkic, and now Whiteside. I know how to make centers play better than they otherwise could.

    Hi Terry,

    Love you, man, but remind me again...what was your coaching record before Dame?

    Whiteside has been great, but he's still not as good as a healthy Nurk.

    Stat wise no but I think he’s doing more to impact games than in Miami. Thats by design though, because Portland has put more responsibility on his shoulders.

    I think he’s going to stick around until the end of the season personally. Bazemore is more likely to go as his position is more of a need, assuming Nurk returns of course.

    I've gotta say, @Terry Stotts might be the first shtick poster on here that's actually funny.
