No, I am actually in agreement that it's about the money. I was just saying it can't be about the money (as in it shouldn't be about the money if he cares about his legacy).
Back to Jason Kidd. Anybody here think they could do a better job with this team? It's that bad. His last press conference he admitted his team is getting close to feeling "comfortable" losing. Whether it's true or not, to utter those words and you're the head coach in charge of not allowing that to happen, he should have been fired minutes after the press conference was over. This Russian dude is a moron.
What about this Damian Lillard dude? He's up and coming. A bit concerned with his FG shooting (only 41 %). Funny thing is he is better from 3 point land (42.6 %, which makes that a 64 % shooting equivalent inside the arc). So that does make up for the sub-par 41 % shooting stat. Seems like a Russell Westbrook slightly more scorer than assist man type player.
LaMarcus Aldridge is really really good, too. Even though Portland whiffed when they drafted Oden over Durant, they still have done well accumulating really good, young players. They will probably play for a Championship this year.
OKC v Portland tomorrow night. Blazers got em a few weeks ago in Oregon lets see if big blue can return the favor on their home court.
