glduck Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Best part of what he said was the direct contradiction to Olshey’s assessment of the team. For what they’ve expressed publicly, they couldn’t be further apart. Unless Portland just feels like blowing it up and tanking/starting from scratch — which, historically, they rarely do — I still say trading him will be extremely difficult.

I laughed out loud when I heard Dame say that. Not because it's funny or untrue, but how clear he was in disagreement with Olshey. Hopefully Jody can at least tell Lillard is who more important than Neal 'Trust' Olshey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I wonder if the guy who scored half the winning team’s points will win MVP. Also, it should be called Buck District. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Cavs have Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley up front, and Sexton/Garland in the backcourt? My goodness, are the Cavs interesting?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ takes a ton of pressure off of LeBron in that he isnt the only creator and run a legit offense when LeBron is on the bench. When they are on the court together, Russ can revert back to what he was in Houston when Harden was on the ball and he had his most efficient stretch of basketball ever. And he's not a total liability on a catch and shoot situation (35% last year). We'll have to see who else the Lakers get to round out their 5.

MrBug708 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 FIBA and NBA are so different. In the NBA, Dame is a superstar. But with the FIBA rules, he looks like he'd wash out on a mid-level Euro team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
