is it an unpopular opinion to say portland should follow the OKC route and preemptively blow it up? Assuming they get draft compensation added to each trade, these are plausible moves to offload dame/cj and get picks back. Could have a clean slate in less than 2 years + picks.

dame to boston for kemba
dame to miami for herro, nunn, iggy, olynyk
cj to philly for danny green, thybulle, maxey, mike scott
cj to indy for oladipo, mcdermott
cj to brooklyn for caris, taurean prince

probably would have a lot of suitors for covington and DJJ as well.

I think people forget Manu Ginobili used to have White Chocolate levels of sauce to his game. Used to shamgod people in games and made the eurostep popular. He would also occasionally dunk on mans.
 
The first 2 have hundreds of people as their #1.

Fisher, not sure.
No to go all DCAllAmerican on you but are there hundreds of people who REALLY LIKE/LIKED Rafer Alston and Sebastian Telfair? Absolutely. Now are there hundreds of people who have Rafer Alston and Sebastian Telfair as their favorite players? Absolutely not.

I’ve been saying for two years it’s time for them to move off the Dame/CJ core.

Maybe the memory of high school Telfair and And1 Tour Skip-to-my-Lou. But NBA Telfair and Alston? Nah.

No way to prove it so I won't fall for you tit-for-tat argument. 8)

I 100% agree with you but it seems like ownership doesn't want to rock the boat because everyone knows they're like brothers so the remaining player would be peeved and eventually asked to be moved. These are the hard decisions you have to make sometimes, though. They probably know they can't get a chip so they're rocking with it knowing they have a WCF ceiling.

Even if it were true, to include them amongst a list of players who are #1 for MILLIONS (In some cases tens of millions) of folks is silly. I respect you not asking me to prove it because in the past you would have #Growth
 
Hypothetically speaking.

If HOU makes it to the finals, will yall give Harden his proper repsects or will you hit him with the, "He couldn't do it without Wall/Wood/Boogie" card?

I know yall were waiting to use that had they beat GSW with CP3 there.

ppl havent given the past 4-5 champions any credit,
some ppl will still have soemthing to say
but harden getting there with a 30 year odl wall and a one legged boogie would be a feat
