[FArting]

Who wins this series

 

[Absolute Zero]

I'm in Portland tonight, so I am going Portland. But they are kinda banged up, Memphis should really take this.

Allen Crabbe may be starting for the Blazers.

Who?

 

[95pro]

Lilliard still needs to find a way to get over that hump. He might never do it much like CP.

Roger Clyne was there and was a lot of D-Backs and Suns gear, so I thought maybe.

Dang, I should have been there! The only Suns gear I have now is a old white shirt with the 70ish logo. I had a lot of stuff from the Barkley Era, but now I am just loaded up on ASU gear. So if you see someone walking around town in that, that's me.

If Portland gets swept what does everyone think their chances are at bringing back Aldridge? He's made it clear before that he wanted the team to add depth and talent around him to be competitive and they've tried but they don't have much flexibility and got hit hard by injuries this year. I think if they get swept the chances he resigns are about 50/50, depending on what teams are able to throw the max at him, as I'm sure almost all teams with cap space would love to get a player like him. If he went east to a team like Boston they could be a regular playoff team and possibly a contender depending on who they draft or who else they can put around him. They have a ton of assets their to add another veteran also to move ahead in their rebuilding efforts also.

Rumor has it that San Antonio is going after LMA who is from Texas and may want to have a homecoming.

Spurs are obviously LMA's best chance at winning. They can max Leonard and replace old Duncan who may retire with LMA and bam, Spurs have reloaded.

they won't even have to retire Duncan. I'm betting he takes another pay cut and they can still get LMA. Then, they'll have another 5 year run in them with Parker/LMA/Leonard as their Big 3 with Pop coaching the hell out of them.

LMA doesn't have the defense that Duncan brought but I guess you could make the case that DPOY Leonard makes up for it.

Anyone seen Conley's face? It's bad. I wish him the very best

Memphis wins the series.

DL seeking the max from the Blazers. I don't think he's earned it just yet, just shy of it.

He's just going to cripple the franchise probably. Portland is in a tough spot with DL and LA.
