    It didn't back in July. I've been seeing games from Nic with 20+ shots out of him. When did he ever do that for us?

    You guys are trying to compare Nic with Charlotte to Nic with us, and that's impossible to do.

    But were the injuries due to them still growing?

    Hendo is better than he has shown. New team AND coming off an injury........it takes some time.
    By mid February he might be as desirable as AAA was last season. It just takes one contender to get hit with an injury to their starting SG. So maybe a late 1st round pick?

    I hope Neil cashes in on CJ.

    His value wont get much higher.

    He's only 24 and scoring 20 ppg - 40% from three.

    IMO he needs to be molded into a scoring PG - full-time. He gets this role in short spurts in Portland but not enough time to relly gel into that role.

    Jahlil Okafor for CJ and Meyers.

    Who says no?

    No.

    The reason we'd trade CJ is because he struggles on defense. Why trade a young 20 ppg SG w/ bad defense for a young 17ppg C w/ bad defense?

    Upside.

    A true low-post scorer is hard to find.

    he's also a guy who's defense will negate his offensive production... Do we really want him as our rim protector?

    Why would Philly do it?

    Okafor is supposed to be a Duncan clone and is super young. You really think Philly would trade him for a good scoring combo guard that's best suited coming off the bench and a PF who lives outside?

    I'd love to make a trade for Julius Randle. Why is he on the bench now? They are killing this kid, and he's got star potential.

    I think Philly says no. Portland would have to sweeten their offer a bit more to get Philly's attention imo.

    You mean until he gets an outside shot, falls in love with it and becomes an all star? Gets gready and becomes a cancer. Isn't that how these things work?

    I think he'd be an improvement in OKC over Roberson at the 2. Provide much better shooting to space floor better for KD and Westbrook.

    They are not all the same. Just cause one is doesn't mean all are. If that were the case, there would be no busts. Get over it.

    I'm just saying dont give me that "ohh Vonleh is young" argument. If your nice and meant to be then you would atleast show some evidence here and there with obvious numbers like Randall clearly does
