You doat you do the best you can to flip over the roster and build around dami lilhard, because he has come out and said, i want to be part of the solution. And so that is your task. If you gave me that portland job, that would be my task immediately. How can i best, what is the best way to build around this guy? And obviously there is a massive limitation to what i have right now. So how can i flip what i do have, these assets, to try to build around this guy the best way i can? And i guitis
Speaker 1
31 though, chris, i understand, i
Speaker 2
understand. But kevin, chris, paul was just 36 in the mba finals as the e ateam there. Chrisp wall.
Speaker 1
Chris paul doesn't need to jump, though. Wat i like one o saying, its is chris paul's game. I mean, liward is an interior finisher. He's not a dunker, but he's very athletic. His burst and speed, change of direction ability, i think that's why this abdomen injury is affecting his performance so significantly, because of the athletic prowess that he has. Chris paul. Mean, he can play slow. So
Speaker 2
can lilert. Loe's the shooter.
Speaker 2
We just watched him hit 12 three pointers in a playoff game. I
Speaker 1
mean, luck shooting 38 % from the field, 30 % from three. That abdomen injury, he doesn't seem to be hit moving with the same explosiveness or burst. That abdomen injury a hundred % is making a difference with him. And who knows, there could be other stuff bothering him. But for portland here, like i said, 31 years old. Chris, 31 years old. He has the serious abdomen injury that might be limiting his play. He's making forty million dollars. Forty two next year, forty five. The year after forty eighth, h year after that. Portland, at least, i've said this recently to you, they at least need to think about maybe we go the rebuild. Cause there's cause our team need so many changes, so many hat do tha, young players that need to develop, so many veterans, that we need to add that in two, three years. Can we really get that done? For dame, to me, it seems like a path that might just be endless and there's no solution there. I think when you have o guy like dami and lod you should do everything possible.
