    The trouble is, none of the likely Lillard trades bring back a starter-quality Big. Miami only really has Bam and he's not on the table (one reason they got beat up by Denver's huge front line).

    I don't see us getting a young star big man but we have two open spots with Dame still on the roster to sign a couple of serviceable backup bigs behind Nurk..a lot are without work now. New Orleans picked up Zeller and that's where we'll probably end up...with a Kaminsky type backup big

    Really????
    So many questions...
    Or are you just insinuating that Joe is holding out until his price is met?

    Hmmmm,
    Labeling our undersized, bad defending scorers as "guards", is an oxymoron.

    All minutes are not equal. It has to be "good minutes" and by good minutes I mean in a structurally good way with a legit big, a legit 3&D wing above 6'8'' and a true power forward. This will help Scoot being a good table setter for other players and not having to play hero ball during 36 minutes a night.

    Why do people assume we’re trading Nurk?
