    PGs: Curry, Westbrook, CP3, Conley, and don't forget people could wet themselves over Smith in Dallas and Ball in LA
    SGs: Harden, Butler, Klay Thompson, will Paul George count? Wiggins?
    SFs: Durant, Kawhi, either George or Carmelo, Millsap?
    PFs: KAT, Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, Nokic, Draymond, Aldridge
    Cs: Gasol, Cousins, DeAndre Jordan, Brook Lopez

    I just don't see us getting an all-star unless a zombie plague strikes down half the league. And that's fine (the lack of all-star, not the zombie plague, obvs.)

    Best record, deepest run possible. No tanking. Melo went to OKC cuz he felt they were the better team.

    And CJ or Dame will make All Star team if top 3 in West. Paul is not a lock esp if Houston bombs.

    Simple keep showing progress and development... still a very young team much of the power in the west is aging so just be ready to take over when some things start to fall.

    I agree, but more specifically, given Damian and CJs career arcs, my best hope is we find a legit 3rd and 4th starter this year to mesh with our core over their 4-5 year window. Since, this officially became Dame's team, the chess pieces haver largely stayed the same, but no one has stepped up or given indication they will. Nurk could be one, provided he can play 70 or more games. The other is probably not on the roster at the moment.

    Throw Collins into the game for 10 minutes a night and let him use his fouls. That's how you learn.

    Edit: Not right away necessarily, but at least after the start of the year.

    Pretty much this.
    Kid averaged 2 blocks and 2 steals in 3 games. Really it's higher than that because he played what.. 2 minutes in the 3rd game? So his averages are higher.
    People are freaking out that he did so poorly on offense, which he did. But completely ignoring his defensive impact he could potentially have.

    Doubtful, as I said before. His one quality skill in SL was shot blocking. If he brings that to camp, he'll get minutes behind Nurk.
    As outside of Nurk, Portland has zero shot blocking from any other big on the roster.
