Its a good fit even thou Simmons is way overpaid. Dame needs to play with a point guard.

Also says if he remains in Portland he’d like to play with Ben Simmons

NBA players should stop GMing. I don't know in what universe Ben Simmons in the answer to your playoff woes.
Dame is similar to AD, for him to win he needs another top 5 player. If he were smart he'd be trying to get himself to Philly for Ben Simmons. Philly is the perfect roster for him, it has the guards to compensate for his bad defense and he won't need to be the no 1 option there.

We’re also the perfect spot for him

Have you seen how bad certain organizations are? If it wasn't for KG playing GM and refusing to become a Celtic unless they traded for Ray Allen, he would have never won a ring. I dont think anyone even needs to mention the Cavs and their first run with Lebron. How do you think we got the Big Three here? Players playing GM.

Simmons if held accountable, say by a strong organization will get the best out of him, the same with Harden. You think Harden would be out of shape sporting the Santa Claus look here, or that Simmons not taking an open shots would fly here as an example?

Please somebody help me understand my own thinking ...in my mind spo Is a better than average coach ...but since he's been in Miami he has got more Bad seasons (when we judge his performances) than good

I don't get it ...it doesn't add up ...is it effort ?? or magic?? is it that he had great players ? he's a good manager of the personalities in his players... but most times he is a dumb stuborn ass ...I don't get me...jeje

Spo is a great coach, but like all people he has limits and blind spots. He’s in the spotlight and at the he’ll of a franchise that has lofty goals. With that comes lofty fan expectations.

Outside of the big-3 season, he probably hasn’t had as many bad seasons in external fans eyes. If there was a way to be truly objective about it (including roster building, injuries, etc), I’m sure he’d come out on the plus side.

I’d say that he struggles to meet Heat fan expectations each year. But then again, I’m not sure any coach in history would.

Blazers do not have a history of being a bad organization. They have consistently built highly well competitive playoff teams for the past 40 years. The only negative image of the Blazers that they are always a player, a bounce or injury short of a chip. The media constantly tries to push players to cities that they work in so they can cover those players. Most players do not win a chip moving to another team. Timberwolves is historically been a bad organization, Celtics historically has been a great organization. That is not what the media is pushing. They pushing Dame to leave a historically respected organization for a historical bad one in the Knicks. It's the exactly the mistake Melo made leaving the Nuggets. A historically well respected organization to a crappy one in the Knicks. We watched Wade fall for the okie doke, going to the Bulls then the Cavs.

I rather bet my money that Blazers can find that one move to get them over the hump over the Knicks building a completely new roster that can win a chip.

Give this guy a 2 way contract already and bring him up to help us out. We have a desperate need for a big like Potter. I'm fine letting Garrett go at this point. Brandon Knight should be signed once we can get rid of KZ.

We should still lock him up to a two way so we have to option to bring him up when the depth is as bad as it is now.

I liked Potter in the preseason but Yurtz seemingly outplayed him. Will yet another GLeague guy make a difference? I'm not excited.

Remember Yurt got pro experience overseas. He is not a fresh out of college player

Just bet on him missing the next 2 weeks and if he comes back before then, great

The trade rumors are starting! I love this time of year.

Sabonis next to Bam would be fun but he’s not a very good shooter and it would cost Herro.

Turners we’ve talked quite a bit about. He’s a nice fit next to Bam and bring shot blocking but he’s a very weak rebounder. Maybe that changes in our system idk.

Need to see what the asking price is. Rebuilding tells me young players and/or picks

harlem_ball · Post #838 » by **harlem_ball** » Tue Dec 7, 2021 6:05 pm

Robinson and Bam for Turner and Sabonis.

Get er done, Riley.

harlem_ball · Post #839 » by **harlem_ball** » Tue Dec 7, 2021 6:15 pm

Turner/Dedmon
Sabonis/Tucker
Butler/Okpala
Herro/Vincent/Struss
Lowry/Rubio(buyout)/Vincent

I smell what the Rock is cooking. And I like it.

Luckily Duncan put on a show for Indiana the other night. I can actually see him playing for them
