They aren't hiding the info. They will roll it out at the right time

Right now they got people all excited about rookies, then it will be free agents and trades, then summer league

Then, just as people are forgetting about them in September, they will roll out positive news about medical upgrades to get you excited

They are smarter than many give credit for. They know how to keep the optimism train moving all summer

Portland was just flat out more talented

Crabbe, Henderson, Harkless would all start at the 3, maybe the 2, last year for you guys and we had them off the bench. The only spot you guys are better than Portland at is PF.

I'd keep Frazier and Douglas, dump Tyreke and Ajinca. Sign Courtney Lee, Solomon Hill, and Ian Mahinmi.

Jrue/Frazier
Lee/Hield/Douglas
Pondexter/Hill
Davis/Cunningham/Babbitt
Mahinmi/Asik/Diallo

Would the Kings go for Holiday and/or Evans and 2 1st round picks for Boogie?

Man if we do this we have to get a better back up than Fraizer he's a 3rd string pg at best.

Basically a guy we cut because there was no room on the roster for you guys picked and started because there wasn't anyone better than him on the roster (he did start a few games right? Frazier that is)

albeit a small sample size, dude played well as a backup.

16 games, 29 MPG
3:1 AST/TO ratio (7.5 APG, 2.4 TOV)
shot solidly (45.0/41.9/76.3 on 10.6/1.9/3.7 attempts)
decent rebounder (4.4 RPG)
111 ORTG, 109 DRTG - needs to improve defense, but that is a good ORTG for a backup
+1.5 BPM (2.2 OBPM, -0.7 DBPM)

Just trainers/doctors or strength and conditioning also?

I take very little value in those garbage games.I don't think that was sustainable. Ennis looked like a legit starter those games but we know that's not the case.

How do you distinguish they aren't worth a damn?

you take little in him playing efficient basketball? Dude was always shown to be a good passer, even portland fanbase will tell you that. If it wasn't for them being so loaded at the guard spot, he'd be on their roster.

The shooting will not be sustainable, but a guy who can run the point and give you a good efficient 15 minutes while your starter rests, that is damn good enough.

Ennis' sample size is even smaller, including career games, and he's never shown he could do even remotely close to what he did last year at any point in his career. At the very least, Frazier showed his efficiency as a passer in 62 games he has played. That stretch he had is better than any stretch of Austin Rivers' career and he was a backup guard for us.

That's all you got?

What about the guys that come out of nowhere? How do you differentiate a Kent Bazemore from a TimFrazier? The Jeremy lin's, Danny green, draymonds, the Hassan whitesides. Once someone starts to play well, how do you know it's not sustainable?

We've all read your posts and you clearly are not smart enough to make these distinctions

I'd go kneecap Gordon Hayward and Damon Lillard this offseason.

Take those two guys out and the Pellies might have a chance to slide into that 8 spot

We are so fricked

Other than the part about Frazier this post is spot on.

That pels team would likely win less than 25 games. Let's say they win 25/60 games AD plays. I can see them going 0-22 without AD. Yuck. I really like Heild but unless him and Jrue combine for 80 points every night, they're not winning shite.

I love the confidence of the Blazers fans. Reminds me so much of Suns fans two years ago. They were predicted to win 20-25, won in the high 40s due to perfect chemistry and insane injury luck. Then, they made a few additions the next summer and the sky was the limit!

Can't wait to welcome them back down to earth in a few months when guys egos get involved and every single thing doesn't break their way

Can you tell me what is similar between the two teams since they're so much alike then?
