    Dame is not near the playmaker Paul, Kidd or Nash was.
    Lowry is ballin.....at 13 ppg. Not near superstar status, yet we would be paying Dame $50M by then. Lowry is making $26M.
    Conley has always been 5x the defensive presence Dame has been, but that is declining.

    Father Time will still take the bet.

    He's had 33, 31, 33, 32 and 32 points in his last 5 games. Way over his season average of 18 points per game.

    Once again some of you guys crack me up with this "being logical = constant negative bullshit."

    I mean, don't get me wrong, I guess I wish I was driving around with rainbows shooting out of my ass, but alas that's just not the kind analytical mind I was dealt.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    What about Chandler Parsons, Spencer Hawes, and Hedo Turkuglu? All had Portland as their second option in free agency.

    You proved my point. Those guys all sucked. Especially after signing their deals elsewhere.

    One of our best free agent signings was Andre Miller. Our star at the time Roy made him feel like crap on the team and never even wanted him. He missed his homeboy Blakey.

    Meh, I have plenty of people on ignore as well. Usually it's the people who have a brain aneurism if you have any kind of constructive criticism about the team :lol:

    Chris Paul.... can't be the #1 option on a team anymore.

    Kyle Lowry.... can't be the #1 option on a team anymore.

    Mike Conley..... lol

    Nash.... wasn't the #1 option on his teams.

    Kidd..... wasn't the number one option on his teams.....

    Billups.... wasn't making 50 million and wasn't the #1 option on his teams.

    I'm seeing a trend here.....

    One thing Powell didn't do is set the franchise record for most consecutive games with five or more made 3-pointers, which Trent Jr. accomplished with his fifth such game in the win over Miami. Not that it means anything.
