Greg wants a fresh start. Portland wants a fresh start. And thank you, Siccolo, for comparing this to B Roy. Any draft prospect is going to be pretty impressed with what GO can do on the court... even a 75% GO. A kid that has no idea what NBA games look/feel like has no idea what a game-ready ce...

"I misinterpreted the rules" (said in Cartman's Edward James Olmos accent).
Cheating is pretty American... But I still don't believe in tanking. I do believe in building through the draft though, and that player development is more important than winning during a rebuild. H...

I don't know Chloe. We had a good team when we lost to dallas, but nobody had any control over how that ended. Once Roy left, we were bound to rebuild.
I'd like to know where you saw "no signs of turning it around"? Lillard and Aldridge are good enough to have rings some da...

He's not a casino game. Human beings still decide what they do with their lives. Not odds.

Agreed, river. Two lottery picks in the quality of last year's draft? You make the picks. One lottery pick in the quality of THIS year's draft? Olshey will have to get creative.

That's a good point, cmeese. That's kind of where I was going with drafting a backup PG. Meyers might start one day, but there's no reason that a number 10 pick from this year would be ready to start if our number 11 pick from last year isn't. That said, I wouldn't hate another true center on th...

I'm not saying get rid of all the refs. Refs are necessary. I'm saying Scott Foster has a tendency to negatively affect the games he officiates. That's a bad ref. Why does this man have a job. It also makes me question the quality of referee training, evaluation, and accountability.

Oden was a bust. He only played in about 80 games in 3 years, and now he's not on our team anymore. That means his PICK was a bust, whether or not he becomes a productive NBA player for another team.
I completely agree with RC14 here, though. Our rookie history (at least re...

I know Kaleb was a video guy originally, so he definitely knows how to break down a game and understands strategy. I don't think his natural role is defensive coordinator, so I agree that it was a bad placement and he didn't do a good job at all. Although, I think our defense belied his skill as...

Yes, RipCity, California is pretty saturated with NBA teams. Texas is the next with 3 teams, but they are spread out enough to each have a large fan base. It also helps that all 3 Texas teams have winning histories. The Kings haven't been worth talking about since C-Webb left. And that was about...
