    Looks like he attended the Tim Duncan school of showing up the refs. Nice!

    Withey first has to try and get on an NBA roster. If he ever has a PER outside of single digits I'll be surprised.

    agree with you in principle, but to be fair he's not on a team b/c of his PER.

    I don't think winning 10 more games next year is really a big deal when you consider we essentially tanked towards the end of the year. I can see us being a 45-50 win team. Depending on Lillard/Leonards improvements (young players do actually get better) the contributions we can get from McCollum and T-Rob, I think it could be a 50-55 win team.

    I think we'll be very good if we stay relatively healthy.

    There was no center available in FA that was going to come in and be a savior.

    They got a journeyman center dirt cheap, instead of badly over-paying for one. Seems like a sensible move!
