    Big issue with the Blazers is that you don’t really have anybody in that 6’5” to 6’8” range that really is a strong outside shooter

    Now if they can somehow flip Whiteside for someone different story

    Lol. Curry (who is a pg) was on the floor with dame and cj at the same time for all of maybe 2 minutes last regular season. Hood was the key wing they needed to keep and they kept him.
    Everyone knew we were losing Curry. Dumb shit doesn't know what he's talking about.

    Blazers trade for Hassan Whiteside! Off season natty complete!

    Got him for absolutely nothing.
    Mo and Hammer for Whiteside. How is that not a win for p0rtland?

    Curry is a wing in the sense that you're a complete dumb fuck who doesn't have a team anymore and can't admit he doesn't know shit on a topic.

    Curry played with CJ but even that was rare. God you're a fucking idiot.

    It is a big win. You finally get rid of Meyers Leonard and you get a guy in his contract year that will definitely give effort while your main guy rehabs his leg. Still looking for that backup PG though.

    Blazers need guys that can space the court and shoot ... they haven’t improved this offseason

    Basically you didn't watch the blazers all season until they ran up against the dubs.

    Dude struggled to get minutes during large stretches of the regular season and playoffs. He's a good shooter, had some timely steals. Dallas can have him at that price tag.

    Offseason natty update-

    the Blazers don’t have a single player on their roster that can guard Lebron or Kawhi.

    Clips are going to have problems with Nurk.

    Lakers bounced by Denver in the first or second round. They still aren't a good franchise right now.

    I think The Legend of Nurk has been blown a little out of proportion. He’s a good big whos is getting better for sure. But He’s close to his ceiling now. He still struggles around the rim in traffic. Gets the ball poked away a lot after offensive rebounds and doesn’t dunk when He can. Blazers record after he went down was much better. There’s room for causation there for sure. But it still happened that way.

    HRYK. Iggy took his talent back East. And that’s the only guy I can think of who has done it in the playoffs. So it’s not really just a Blazer problem imo.

    Giannis, kd, Kawhi, lbj and Pg are players the blazers are always going to have trouble guarding. Like you said there’s barely anyone out there except those names that can really guard them anyways.
    At least the blazers did some things to maintain or get better on offense. Really need simons to prove he can play 12-15 a game or that second unit is in trouble. Dame and cj are the only ball handlers and cj is very suspect At that to begin with.

    Ah yes, Iggy the LeBron defender who won finals MVP for holding LeBron to a mediocre 35.8-13.3-8.8. Such great defense!!! LeBron isn't as good as Kobe or Jordan because he didn't have the clutch guts to make his teammates not get injured or suck!!!
