    I think it's fair to say I really don't give a shit either way, although no one should be edited

    My point has always been, if you do it for one, do it for all. However, I would prefer it never happen

    Totally disagree. This guy has not proven he can contribute on any NBA team ever. He has promising physical traits, but they've never translated to game production. Meyers Leonard accomplished as much as Randolph ever has last season and I do not think Meyers has proven anything. Except for Faried I wouldn't call any of those players big men either, they are SF's.

    Yes big man depth is a concern for this Blazer team, but its a pretty big concern on all but a few teams. Who are the Clippers third and fourth big men? What about Minny, Houston, or Golden State? All of these teams are a big man injury away from having major trouble.

    Again, Anthony Randolph has a career PER 3 points higher than our starting SG. Saying he hasn't proven anything is flat out wrong

    I highly doubt the Heat would want Thomas Robinson instead of Bird Man. Maybe that will change as the season goes on, Birdman had awesome stretches in the playoffs last year. He just can't play extended minutes with his knees.

    You must have me confused with someone else. I never said TRob>>Heat fools
    because that was never my point. However, as YOUR stats suggest

    TROB on the order of Heat Fools.

    If you include Heat Fools as "Heat Frontcourt Depth", you must include TRob in "Blazers Frontcourt Depth".

    Frankly, I'm tired of arguing about this. We'll all have a better idea come the all-star break.

    Why must I include a front court player that was traded 2 times his rookie season

    Perhaps because it's irrelevant.

    I'd prefer it if the players and/or coaches did. But if anyone else in the organization does, it would be an embarrassment.

    short, a SF with a tall body, nothing great and nothing great.

    you said BIG MEN.
    Because I find your opinion about big men to be questionable. Or maybe it's a conspiracy.
