NBA.com disses Dame

Yes Dame jumped but watch the video, Griffin is coming down the court, looks at what Paul is doing and deliberately sticks is foot out to trip Dame. I would not say it is a set play but that is 2 vets who have played along time together getting a bit dirty.

local alt. weekly weighs in on the Blazers

Zach Lowe thinks Blazers might trade for Nikola Vucevic

在他30疯狂的赛季的预测 : ---------- 18岁。Orland trades Nikola Vucevic It's hard to find teams willing to give up anything of value for a center who can't protect the rim; ask the Bucks. Hell, it's hard to find any team who needs another center in a league trending smaller. But Vucevic is the belle of the ball among ground-bound low-post types -- a brute with passing skills, high hoops IQ, and enough shooting touch to stretch almost to the 3-point arc. That range makes him a bit more malleable than Greg Monroe, Al Jefferson and perhaps even Brook Lopez. He'll be 26 at the end of this month, with three years (including this season) left on a ridiculous contract. The Magic don't want to trade Vucevic, but it's hard to see Orlando finding enough minutes for their giant pile of big men. Early attempts to play Vucevic and Bismack Biyombo together have gone as you might expect. The Pelicans have always been curious about pairing Anthony Davis with a low-post threat. The Blazers have a ton of center types, but it's unclear if any of them -- including Mason Plumlee, up for what could be a pricey extension -- represent the long-term answer at the position. Portland GM Neil Olshey has chased back-to-the-basket types before. Speaking of which ... 19. Portland trades a salary for ... ? The Blazers are not going to vault $20 million or $30 million over the tax next season. They will trade one of their high-priced guys, or an impending free agent due for a raise. They don't need to trade a wing for a big man -- not with Mason Plumlee, Meyers Leonard, Festus Ezeli and Ed Davis scrapping for minutes -- but they are one of the few teams that could make that sort of swap if they find the right one. Portland knows the league is poor on wings, and bet massively on their guys having trade value -- especially when rivals strike out in free agency. -------------- Please don't trade Moe!
