A poorly educated person who is graduating from UNO with a business degree in December with a 3.0 GPA while working full time and 0 loans. Yes uneducated sounds like me.

On paper, we all had Portland as a 20-25 win team last year, but their roles were clearly defined and accepted. That will beat out slightly better talent with no roles defined or accepted every time





I think it was more of better fitting pieces that complement each other. Everyone played extremely hard and was given opportunities to try new things on the floor. No other team would have allowed Aminu to shoot that many 3s last season. They had 2 great offensive options surrounded by hard work defender that played hard and did the dirty work.

Poorly educated then. Might be worse and it explains why you think you are smart. An uneducated person might at least know they are dumb, which is the first step to becoming smart.

Best of luck to ya! (Oh, and a 3.0 GPA sucks BTW)

A B avg GPA sucks is news to me. I'm on my phone when I'm on here you idiot and this stupid auto correct constantly changes my words. I also don't care to proof read. Don't get confused with me on here as if you know me in my daily life.

I don't get the love for Hill, even when he played 29MPG as a 2nd year player, he averaged 9/4/2 and shot the 3 ball 32.7%. He is a good defender, but he doesn't give Tyreke or AD any spacing.

At least QPon does, but he's a worse defender than Hill. I mean if we're going to get a starter get someone who's actually competent shooting...

Hill is more of a bang for you buck type guy. He can be had cheaper and play a needed role.

The question infers that you just have to make the playoffs. You don't need to consider the future or even being better than an 8 or 7 seed.

First I'm trading my 2017 and 2019 picks in a package for the best thing I can get, hopefully paired with Reke or Asik if they aren't a huge negative.

2nd you need to limit the minutes of Hield and Diallo. QPon at the 2 does that.

I'd swing for the fences with Batum and if that doesn't work I'm probably signing multiple B and C level players and hoping to find the right mix with competent players.

Can't be more specific without doing a lot more thinking.

I think there are several ways you can shore up the wings. The hard part is how you address the center position. Like Demps said, Asik needs to be productive for the team to have a good season. Relying on Asik means you need to turn Ajinca into someone better like MM did with Koufos. Not sure if that is the answer either though.

Why the hell would they not make firing medical staff a public release?

From a PR standpoint it's certainly ideal, this reassure fanbase that Demps is doing his job, and taking necessary actions on improving out "curse".

What's the point of hiding this info? I swear the franchise makes no sense sometimes. Thanks for the drop though

Plan A:

Trade Omer and Holiday for Collison and Cousins.

Sign Ty Lawson, David Lee and Mo Speights

PG Ty, Collison, Douglas
SG Evans, Hield, Gee
SF Poindexter, Cunningham
PF Davis, Lee, Diallo, Babbitt
C Cousins, Speights, Ajinca

Plan B

Trade Evans for Vasquez and Mayo.

Sign Jason Smith and Jared Dudley

PG Holiday, Vasquez, Douglas
SG Mayo, Hield, Gee
SF Poindexter, Dudley, Cunningham
PF Davis, Diallo, Babbitt
C Smith, Ajinca, Omer

Not too sure that was anything more than PR from Demps. Pretty hard to publicly say a guy 1 year into a 4 year deal is pretty much done as an impact player.

Of course they need more from the 5, and, really, any non Davis big. And given their realistic options, the best hope is likely Asik pulling the fork out of his back.





Was interesting listening to Tjarks/Chau on the Ringer NBA pod breakdown the draft. Tjarks was pretty gung ho on the idea of finding a competent 2 way big to pair w/ Davis. He said they should have swung for the fences w/ Chriss at 6.

That would never have happened w/ current FO/ownership and is a little strong for me, but the general idea is sound. The problem is the Pels desperately need help across the board.

The safest path to the playoffs this season is bringing Gordon and Ryno back. I certainly wouldn't do that, but that's the answer.

Re-sign Anderson

QO to Frazier

Waive Babbitt and Douglas

Holiday/Frazier/Vasquez
Pondexter/Hield/McLemore
Harkless/Dudley/Cunningham

I'm opposed to bringing back ryno, but you wouldn't hear any complaints from me if we brought eg back on a 2 year deal, 2nd year team option. I wouldn't have said this if bdj was still here though.

Honestly, he's a good component if he's healthy. If we have hield starting and signed a SF we could honestly roll with a 2nd unit that has Tyreke, Gordon, qpon, diallo (or another fa), and ajinca

That's not half bad.
