    I was talking with someone on twitter and they were responding about the TPE and they said how they would like RHJ. I brought up that RHJ was how the Blazers got Nurkic and a first and he proceeded to argue that RHJ would be better then Nurkic and a first.



    Does anyone think RHJ is better then Nurkic and a first?

    Just what the Blazers need. Another wing who can't throw a rock in the ocean.

    Yes, a guy with a career 3FG% of .237 is exactly what we need to catch, and overtake, GSW and HOU. Magic summed it up when he said shooting is over rated. You need tough guys, even if they make Andre Miller look like Reggie Miller.

    With Turner, Harkless and Aminu, where would Hollis-Jefferson play? I know BRK seems bound and determined to become POR East. That doesn't mean we have to become BRK West.

    RHJ is better than Nurk and a first? Nurk is better than RHJ and a first and it's really not debatable.

    Nurk lifted POR's defense from 24th to 8th. Where was BRK's defense ranked with Hollis-Jefferson? Oh let's see... 22nd. Yeah., I don't want to go back to those days. Instead, let's just keep the guy who completely transformed our defense.

    It was funny because part of his argument was that Nurkic couldn’t shoot from 3...really that’s your argument against your center but you are ok with a wing that can’t shoot from 3?

    People are so ignorant when it comes to defense.

    Nurk will turn into a dominant center. He's young to the game, and still developing. Nurk is a game changer, RHJ is a nice role player.

    But we could use wings who can guard multiple positions

    You mean like Aminu and Harkless? Both had better DBPM than Hollis-Jefferson. Both caan also knock down an occasional 3-pointer if left wide open.

    You'd seriously rather have Rondae Hollis-Nobody that Nurkic? The guy who turned our team defense from embarrassing to respectable?

    Did I say I'd rather have him than Nurk?

    You win in this version of the NBA by having guys on the floor who can guard multiple positions.

    You put words in my mouth......again. please stop doing that.

    Dude...

    He didn't put words in your mouth. He asked you a question. You certainly insinuated it. You didn't make an argument FOR Nurk. You made an argument FOR a wing who can't shoot who wouldn't transform our D. @Boob-No-More was clarifying that with the QUESTION that was asked.

    Jesus...

    He didn't say that's what you said. He asked you a question in which you flipped out and still didn't answer. Read more carefully. :bgrin:
