Don't want Consider, but would take Jerian Grant for a 2nd.

By the end of the weekend, I wouldn't be surprised to see Mo Williams on the team.

I can't belive that the second and the third most payed player in Portland are starting form the bench.

Given the health of Ezeli, it's a shame Noel is hurt: some trade ideas on the line Philly-Portland could be back in fashion soon.

I doubt GS would trade for Noel. The only player we would want in return who could be attainable would be McCaw and I don't think Jerry West would do that considering how high he is on him and he's under control for the next 4 years unlike Noel. I don't think GS would have enough money to match Noel so it would A one year rental for him and West isn't that short sighted.

Yeah but GSW are playing for a championship. If they believe Noel can get them over the hump, they'll trade away a 2nd round pick.

McCaw is so overrated on this board and elsewhere. Lets see how he does when the games start to count and he goes up against tough players on a regular basis rather then the 3-4 minutes he sees in preseason.

The Brow with 50-16-5-7-4 stat line tonight.

Is that one of the best lines in the last decade?

E'Twaun Moore
Tim Frazier
Solomon Hill
Omer Asik

What do those players have in common?

I watched a lot of Lakers games and they seem to be playing very well.

They have the talent level to be starters on our team?

74 of the Heat's 108 points were in the paint against the Magic. That's a lot.

Especially with that Magic frontcourt. They have a lot of big guys, don't they?

Biyombo was out. But they did still have Ibaka (and Vuc).

Centers like Vucevic just make it hard to win with.

Add Buddy Hield to that list, unsurprisingly. Frazier actually looks competent, so take him off.

God, the Pelicans had another terrible offseason. AD has to start thinking about asking out if they miss the playoffs again.

Yeah, except that in this game against the Heat aside from dropping 17pts and 14rebs he also had the best +/-, ORtg& DRtg (+3.9, 104 Ortg and 100Drtg). How that happened? I don't know.

Playing positionally sound defense is irrelevant if you can't protect the rim. Look at the points in the paint against when he's on the floor. You CANNOT win with a guy like him.

Vuc in on a list of guys I wouldn't want on my team, regardless of how productive and good he is.

Phoenix lost by 19 at home to SAC and has Knight, Len, Chriss, and Bender coming off the bench. That is a team in need of a shakeup already.

That was the starting lineup next to AD. This situation is starting to look more and more like KG in Minnesota. Sad, I hope Jrue recovers and they'll find their way.

A part of me hopes Boogie leaves Sacramento and signs with the Pelicans.

Can you imagine an AD/Boogie frontcourt?

Evan Turner with those huge 7 points in 49 minutes, Two games for the Blazers. What a deal they got with him. Hahahhahahahhahhahahhahaaha.
