Right now we have the 7th worst record. If that were to hold, we would have a 4.3% chance of winning the lottery. I think we'll actually finish closer to 4th or 5th. That would put as at 11.9% if we finished with the 4th worst record. Before the season started, we had 100/1 odds that we would win the championship.
Aside from Lillard, there really aren't any untradeable players on this team. It's more an issue of what is your plan and are you getting something that is going to make you better in the framework of that plan. I look at these players and to be honest I don't know how anyone could really say we know what we have yet. If you are going to trade someone, you better make sure it's something designed to really help the team get over the top in three years. Trading for someone that just makes you a 35-40 win team now but doesn't have an upside and makes you give away or blocks a player with upside would be the absolute worst thing you can do.
CJ is only 6'3. And why in the blue fuck are you bringing up Michael Jordan? If you want to compare their size, Jordan had a wingspan of 7 feet vs CJ's 6'6. Jordan had a standing reach of 8'9 vs CJs 8.
If Plumlee is not at the very least a solid center, I wouldn't know what one is. He literally IS what you want at the position. Finishing at the rim, high and low post passing, rebounding and enough defense that he won't get embarrassed by elite centers.
Do you even watch the games? He's shooting 70% over the last ten games. He's much improved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Shit like this is just what pisses me off. He is a career 55% free throw shooter. Do you think that he's found a revelation after the last 10 games with us or something? Get a clue.
You tell us the team sucks, but then you turn around and say it's impossible that we'll get the #1 pick. Which is it?
I think he's saying we're bad but not bad enough to get the No. 1 pick, which in a way is much worse than being bad.
Yup. According to their pre-draft measurements and the eyeball check, CJ is the same size as Lillard. They are one of (if not the) smallest starting backcourt in the league. Yehaw! In and of itself thats not an insurmountable problem, but it's sure not a feather in Portland's cap. Ideally they'd have another quality 2/3 who can switch defensively 1-3, handle/playmake & stretch the court with another perimeter threat... I seem to recall someone on the roster last year who fit that bill STOMP
telling you I'm 10 feet tall doesn't make it so. At their respective pre-drafts Terry measured in 3/4" shorter then CJ and neither had/have the length or explosiveness to make up for it. When you're talking something thats easily researched, like height, facts are the point. STOMP
