Can't miss those shots...set your feet!

It's a good start....except the point total.....can't win with sub 25 quarters.

The more i think about it the time is now. And the players are Fultz and Bamba. These guys have the tools, let them fight!

Yeah the more i watch the Blazers the more i agree with 4thewin. He does seem to elevate his game in the playoffs, but we have to get there first.

I'm all for a small incremental move. I'd love for a big move but i have no faith in the FO to make the right one. For those wondering about LA, KCP has a no trade clause. He shares agents with lebron and is shooting over 40% from 3. KCP isn't going anywhere. Kuzma would have to be moved with other bad contracts like Cousins and Bradley. Since the lakers have very little draft capitol, trading Kuzma might be the only way to get anyone good. Lakers would probably do something like this. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=qkgumm6 Anyhow i'm pretty sure our front office will not give up on Bamba,Gordon or Vucevic during the season. Because of this i see little room for a trade unless something unusual happens. It's hard to trade players for other players playing the same position and both teams benefiting. In other words if we trade Evan and Dj we are either getting worse players back or we are giving up picks.

Here is a trade that helps us win this year and next. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yz3btyfx Unfortunately we would most likely have to give up next years first. Too much for alot of you. Our first, beats the other contending teams firsts. A few of them have a cheap young player they can send back.

This man speaks the truth. We didn't re-up on Vuc and Ross to lose. Any moves we make will small.

Eh, the main reason we would do this is to Kick the SG can down the road. He would be here next year and we won't have to replace him til the year after. Also correcting the Aminu signing might be worth it.

Since we are doing stupid trades here is a 3d chess trade. Philly screwed up and signed Horford, lets "help" them out. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yx7egkrp We send Dj,Evan and Aminu who actually plays again this year and plays his usual 3 and D. Evan and Dj hit 3's at 40% thanks to all the open looks Embid and Simmons create. Philly gets better all year and knocks out out the Bucks and the Celtics in the playoffs before losing to the west. Giannis gets frustrated and demands a trade.Celtics decide they can't beat Philly without Horford and trade with us to get him back.Evan and Dj leave Philly because it's too cold. Meanwhile in Orlando Thybulle,Horford,Futlz,McW,Isaac and Gordon form together to create the best defense ever! Unfortunately we only score 89 points a game and wind up a mid lotto team. Magic win the Lottery and draft Anthony Edwards who becomes the next Michael Jordon. Celtics trade us Hayward for Horford so they don't lose him for nothing. The end.

Well last ten games Dj has hit the 3 at 44%!!!! He also has a low turnover rate and foul rate. Basically we have last spring DJ back. Lakers need any guards who are great at catch and shoot 3's. Unless we are getting something good i hope we have no desire to help the Lakers. Nuff said. Edit. I forgot to say that Bradley,Rondo and Cook are absolutely awful from 3 this year with Rondo being the best of the three! Again Dj is wonderful, but he has to be this good on offense because his defense can be pretty bad some games. Thinking about the newest trade rumors reminds me some of our players have more trade value then i would have thought a month ago. They have nothing to offer us.

So there are rumors of Atlanta trading for Drummond. If Atlanta really wants an old school center who can't shoot the 3 and makes too much money then obviously they might take Vuc. Now i really don't think they would trade him this season or even next season. Management probably wouldn't want to piss off our other players.It would be the simplest way to get out from that contract if anyone thinks it was a mistake. What do you all think?

You know for me i feel its just confidence, just like Dipo a long time ago.People said Dipo can't shoot but when we all watched him the stroke looked fine. It's always been that way for me with Gordon, his stroke looks fine and he sets his feet better then Ross.I feel he should be as good as Lewis, at least on catch and shoot 3's. Wow, that takes me back. Can you guys Imagine Rashard next to Vucevic and J.I. Where can we get another one of those forwards please.

I could not watch the game, of course we win. I can't watch tonight either. I don't get this team, except to say our players are wildly inconsistent. Obviously motivated by Isaac's injury. If everyone else stays healthy this might help us in a way. We can see if Gordon is more comfortable playing the 4. Although apparently we had Birch and Amile in more last night.Again i did not watch i might record the replay. Great Win!

I mean yes now i agree with you since it looks like our season just lowered it's ceiling. Before i had no problem giving up a mid round pick for a win now player, who might re sign in the off season.

So we couldn't trade Vuc when he was making 12 million but now that he's making 28 million all those teams might want him? I could maybe see 5 to 6 teams that would want him until they start looking at the contract. Plus i really don't see management wanting to move him.Teams like Portland and Boston could use him but they have bigs who are cheaper and easier to trade. Portland has two big men returning from injury.They are losing because they lost or let go of all their wings and it's exposing just how bad Dame and Cj are on defense.Boston could be interested in Vuc but only if they thought they were going to lose Hayward for nothing. In order to trade Vuc it would have to be a team like Sacramento who have no idea what they are doing but need to shake things up.

First of all i still think draft picks are somewhat over rated. I was all in on using our pick to get better this year. However, if we use our pick for a win now player and we still are a lottery team, it's a bad thing. Luckily we get a month to see how things play out.

I could be wrong but both LA teams have two super expensive players plus decent centers. I know Zubac, Harrel,dwight and McGee can't shoot 3's but I dont think they can afford Vuc.

Man I remember that loss to the Knicks we had last spring. I thought if we missed the playoffs that was the one we would regret. Anyway since they changed coaches they are 6-6.

Yeah but in a lot of situations like this it's a confidence issue or a health issue or maybe his minutes are blocked by another player.From everything you hear out of New York it's and attitude problem.I hope he turns it around.

Yes a lot of us were wrong with this guy. Judging by how fast he pissed off the Mavs and not getting playing time on the Knicks, he must be a bad apple.

The Knicks are winning, Elfrid still can't shoot. They are using all that size to bully other teams. Also everyone except Payton is hitting 3's! Maybe they can send us a forward for free. They have too many.

Dj has to score alot because when he doesn't, he is a net negative. Anyhow it was a good win. Pretty cool to watch Gary Payton's son i hadn't seen him much. Apparently they call him "the mitten", that's hilarious. Also the center that came in for a few minutes was one of our draft picks. Pasecknicks didn't look good.

Our team is weird......except this Wizards team is an all-time gemini. Fourth in offense, possibly worst all time in defense.

Kelle!

Turned the game back on, actually a good game.
