I want the #4 seed. I want to host a playoff series beat ATL or BOS...then go at it with New Jersey.

Beating Boston and New Jersey would really solidify Julius Randle as the best Knick since Patrick Ewing.

For the entire career of Dame in Portland Blazers have only been watchable for 3 single moments - the game winners vs Beverly and Pandemic P and game 7 in Denver. This team has been terrible, utter disaster and disappointment, ugly-as.s iso plays, no passing, no sharing, questionable defense, questionable shot selection, including too many contested and logo 3s. People only see the made in the highlights, they don't see the heavy breaks and airballs.

And for some damn reason they are always getting a pass. I mean isn't Dame the clutchest player in the league? Isn't CJ one of the best Robins, also one of the best offensive shooting guards in the league? I rank Nurk very high among centers as well. They have always had a solid supporting cast Melo, Powell, Kanter now Trent Ariza, Seth Curry, Whiteside. And i'm not even googling it, I remember those teams because they were supposed to be good. And this team been together for 7-8 years now and they are still sheeet.

And you guys are saying that they are being ugly to watch LATELY? There have never been a superstar like Dame and a coach like Stotts ever to be tolerated that much and to be spared the critics for so long. Ever.

If there's a player around the league we should be looking to trade for this summer it's him. Just googled it and Leon was his agent.

Garland is definitely the guy Leon Rose should target.

He's the real deal offensively, and he can grow defensively under Thibs. He's an insane offensive talent, and his game fits perfectly with Randle and RJ, although he does need to get his ish together on defense.

Andrew Wiggins is a terrific role player, also shooting 38 3P% on the year. That may not be good enough as a shooter, but he's shown great improvement and might continue to do so.

Why would the Cavs trade him to us? He is playing well and over 30 minutes a game despite the questionable fit with Sexton.

They won't accept a Knox/Obi and mid/late picks package for him. High potential sophomores are traded only for stars.

Well you said it, the fit with Sexton is questionable so the Cavs might feel it's best for them to make a decision sooner rather than later.

Obi and two unprotected firsts would be a good offer for a point guard who can't defend yet and who's still below-average in efficiency. There's still a level of unknown attached to Garland, although I'm personally a believer.

They'll keep Garland, he's more of the PG between the two, while Sexton is a small SG which is fine for a team like ours.

The fit can be questionable. But the Cavs are believing that is possible. And the players are evolving with great offensive performance and improving their trade value.

Its very risky to trade a future star candidate (maybe a top 5 sophomore now) for 2 picks from a playoff team. Despite history has shown us it's good business to bet against us, our future picks should be out of the lottery.

I'd prefer Garland from the Cavs

But Thibs is gonna want Sexton

I’m sure Hayes will be good in a year or two. Needs some time to develop

Oh I thought you meant Hayes being as good as Garland/Sexton. Of course he’s better then Payton. :lol:

Luka with another technical. He is truly insufferable

Chanel Bomber · Post #1339 » by **Chanel Bomber** » Sun Apr 25, 2021 1:40 am

Bulls with the win-now trade that makes them worse in the long-term and the short term :lol:

11th seed in the East, can't even make the play-in tournament. It's truly remarkable.

Can't even count on them to beat Miami.
