What does having to be 26 have to do with not building ones body up?? That's dumb, I doubt the guy has touched any weights.. Anderson is capable of playin 4 and 3. His shot from outside makes teams play honest. And he already has played 3. You aren't to bright when it comes to basketball.

Unintentionally misleading tweet. Its not like those guys were balling and had career enders 2 years ago. They were never healthy. Portland had plenty of time to plan for/around their injuries. They didn't just get hit with this, it was 6-7 years in the making.

Aldridge was drafted 2nd overall in 2006

Roy was drafted 6th overall in 2006. He was never fully healthy.

Oden was drafted 1st overall in 2007. He was never fully healthy.

Paired with Lillard, now 8 years after being drafted, Aldridge has hit his prime and is a star.

Davis will be able to make me look like a competent GM when he's 28

Ryno can play the three on the offensive end, but he'd get KILLED on the defensive end.

Not tryin to down you, bro. But I am an ex basketballer all the way up to the collegiate level. Anderson can play 3 and has, but i acknowledge can be slight disadvantage defensively. But he'll cause matchup problems also for the opposing teams small forward because he can post as well, but the main thing is he'll take heat off Davis down low if they try to double. Ajinca from what I've seen is a athletic big, but gets pushed around because of size. He has at least has to try to put some bulk on. But we'll see what they do.

Well, this teams sucks big time on defense as it is. Adding another liability on that end is counter productive.

As much as I love Ryan, I think we'd be better off trading him for a starting 5. A 5 who plays closer to the basket. All Monty's centers spend way too much time 15' away from the rim. I agree with you on Ajinca, he's too soft and finesse for my liking.

Let's see how good they are when Lillard misses the vast majority of the season and Aldridge misses time. And then Wesley Matthews sprains his ankle a number of times and misses games. And then Rolo el cuñado misses a couple months or so, which pushes Joel Freeland into the starting lineup, but then he gets hurt and is sidelined indefinitely


Their starting 5 has started all 44 games, but each guy is playing 30+ minutes a night. Lillard, LA, Batum are all playing 35+ and Matthews is playing 34. Lopez 31. That is nuts. Stotts is going to run these dudes into the ground. They will be out of gas come playoff time if they arent already hurt.

Also, Batum is lost for what appears to be the season with a stress fracture that came out of nowhere.


He's been playing with it all season and played last night.

The Pelicans would be doing a lot better if they weren't incurring so many injuries.

I don't think they are championship level or even a top playoff team, but they can be a competitive team without injuries.

The organization isn't that far away. I personally feel a coaching change would be a good love too, but I am just a fan so my opinion doesn't mean much.

We should totally match Ryno up on Durant when we play the Thunder. He would hold KD scoreless. I don't know why we never thought of that. #FireMonty

It was a continuation of the hypothetical where their entire roster gets plagued with injuries. Batum was taking the place of Jrue.

It can't be any worse than how the match up on KD now, idiot. But as I said earlier if you knew how to read and interpret correctly playin Anderson at 3 wasn't really for defensive purposes arse. Oh, nevermind already.
