Davis has HoF potential

Could we have a Co-ROY season? Seems likely to me at this point

Shved and MKG have had quietly great rookie seasons, I could see one or either making a run towards the end of the year.

Bradley Beal with a good game. 4-7 from 3 point range 22 pts 4 rebs 2 asts and a block. Kid is starting to get a real good feel for the game.

Like the time Brand and Francis won it both?

I think Davis will win it in the end, Lillard team is better, but Davis is more complete, a factor in defense, and he's playing 6minpg less than Lillard, as long as the season go, Lillard % will drop, they started already too, and Portland will fall out of the PO run.

Davis will win clearly.

Drummond 7 pts 11 rebs and 3 blocks in 21 minutes vs the kings, including a monster putback over Cousins. Typical Andre.

Lillard with a BIG 3-pointer to sink the Knicks tonight. Lillard ends the game with 21 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals.

Just Drummond being Drummond.

I'm curious as how Lillard's numbers will start to drop. While his three point shooting certainly suffered in December, he actually scored the same and increased his assists and decreased his turnovers from November.

Frank only playing Drummond about 20 minutes. Typical Frank. :lol:

Seriously, Frank is a freaking idiot keeping Drummond at this arbitrary 20 minute per game mark.

Another big game from DLill tonight with yet another huge late game shot to seal the win against the Knick in the MSG.

Dame is at worst a more athletic Billups.

Indeed the main reason his % drops off is the double teams and even an occasional triple team that he sometimes faces. I mean I can't imagine another rookie getting as much attention on the offensive end of the floor.

Maybe he will be at Chauncey's prime level at some point. But he's got to play some defense.

Lamarcus Aldridge for Drummond + Stuckey?

Monroe
LMA
Prince
IDK
Knight...

That is pretty good too

You're going to get ripped apart for that offer. There's only maybe 4 or so players Piston fans would be willing to trade Drummond for right now and LMA isn't one of them.

As has been discussed on the Trade Board, Aldridge just doesn't make any sense for the Pistons. They don't need a vet in his prime right now. They just need to keep the young guys they've got and let them grow together.

Thank god it looks like LMA isn't going anywhere. Blazers aren't anything without him and would probably be one of the worst teams in the league for the next 5 years if that trade would be done. No thanks
