    Ehhhh I don't agree, he can be a top 5-10 center though given the right coaching and weight program.

    He's big, mobile and can finish at the rim with either hand. All this while looking like a flabby 40 year old. He can be dominant, he flustered DMC in a highlight video I saw.

    We have no coaching on this team apparently so he'll probably flop out of the league.

    That just rolls off the tongue. I'm sure Mark Mason's up to it.

    Fire Stotts before he turns him into another Aldridge.

    It's ain't Stotts fault. LMA is the same player for Pops that he was for us.

    If he's still here, Meyers will never hear a bad word about him out of my mouth again if he and Nurk dress as the Festrunk brothers for Halloween

    Right, how about if I stand on the chair; that would make it a little more challenging.

    If this doesn't inspire the Blazers to hire a first class big man coach, I don't know what. I mean, we keep talking about why we don't have a first class developmmental staff like SA does. If you acquire a young player who could be key part of the future and have a daily reminder of epic failure next to him.... What are they waiting for, the Return of the Crusades?!

    In style yes. Not in execution though.

    Guess how many 3's LMA attempted his last year with us and how many he attempted his first year in SA?
    105 and 16.

    I think Pops has him playing Rolo's game in SA...his blocks are up and pts down..Pops makes him play in the paint..whether he likes it or not...Pops went after Lamarcus and Stotts inherited him.

    So basically as long as Clint Eastwood's version of President Obama is guarding him he's unstoppable?

    He'll be at least 2/3 the player, with 3x the brain.

    So let's see, by my calculations, that's 3(2/3) = 6/3 = 2x the player!

    Score!

    :cheers:

    The biggest thing I get out of these videos is hope. Hope that his FT shooting will go up.

    He's shooting .586 for his career. If that could go up to 67 or so percent, great. If he could shoot 73-75%, which looks possible given the videos, it would substantially help our team.
