    The sad part is that the post up game you are referring to, was probably our 2nd best post up option we had last year behind Nurk.
    I am hoping at least Collins surpasses him this year in that regard.

    My eyes tell me that's literally the shot he has the most success with.

    Maybe the only way to get Neil canned is to miss the playoffs.

    Joking. Of course I know who he is. He’s a scrub. Which in turn is the comedic portion of the post. #KeepUp

    Agreed. I wouldn't do it if Dame wasn't for it.

    Now that we are all done with the Butler coming here, what free agent (lol) next year should we pursue?
    Maybe Durant?

    Still may...nothing would surprise me, I'm just think Wolves won't send him to their division unless its Dame or CJ, Collins and picks. Not sure id do it.

    I get it, and Butler seems like he has some baggage but the guys real good.

    Free agent? We don’t project to have any cap space. All we’ll have are exceptions. Trade is still our best route. Ideally Simons or Trent show out, which would open up moving CJ.

    One guy I would love with our exception next summer though is Wes. He’s going to be 32, so maybe he doesn’t get any bigger offers. Unlikely, but maybe. I’m not expecting Curry back and maybe we’ll be able to dump Evan since he’ll be an expiring.

    I'd rather play Trent next year than bring back Wes. With Wes aging and Trent coming into his own, Trent might be the better option.

    I think Wes would be more concerned about who’s on the court, not up in the box. I think he’s also smart enough to understand why Portland didn’t bring him back.

    I think Wes understood why they dodnt bring him back but he was pretty open about how he fet completely disrespected by NO on the way out.

    Pointless, unless we really can't find a bigger SF option. Would rather have someone with size at SF.

    56 pages on a guy that was never gonna end up here? damn I forgot how badly Portland fans want something to happen to this team. Trust me, I do too. We gave Melo so much attention last season and he isn't even that good. Might be a bumpy ride this season but I am for it.
