Beal's numbers are better than McCollum's across the board
-- more FT's, steals, assists, boards -- with only a slight 3-pt FG% advantage for McC (40% to 38.5%).
Beal also has better size is a better defender, and is 2 years younger. 
Last year with Wall out, Beal put up 25.5 / 5 / 5.5.
POR would be a bigger threat if McC was up to Beal's level.

Numbers on bad teams mean Jack all

Who cares about numbers.  Who do they play for? What have they done? Watch basketball!


*** and how the f*** would Portland get Beal anyway?  lol,..I'd much rather have...might as well say I'd much rather have Gary Payton in his prime

**** Portland has a kick ass guard who helped get them to the CF last year. They paid him. What's the problem?

WTF is wrong with you?  That’s not how it works

I think degrading Portland’s new look is kind of silly. I like those additions

Cue Yankguy saying Whiteside sucks

Wiz lost in the 2nd round 3x with Beal.
About the same as POR.
Last year, WAS was bad after their starting PG went down and they traded away their 3rd best player.  POR would be just as bad, likely worse, if Lillard missed the season.  McCollum couldn't step in and be as good a lead player as Beal was last year.  Beal a 2x all-star.

Beal over CJ? Somebody drinking way too much fortified wine...

This is just wrong.  And what I responded to. 
I've watched them both plenty.  McC a talented scorer with a herky-jerky rhythm. Beal a better all-around player -- rebounder, passer, driver, defender, with better size and two years younger. 

McCollum a nice player, but not one I would give 5/$153M to.  He's too limited for that.   Look for his contract to be a burden by Y3 or Y4.
They had him for 2 more years.  Didn't need to give him a huge extension now.

Who are their starting Forwards?
Zach & RodHood.
I like Zach, but he's still developing.
Hood is erratic and generally unreliable.

Their bench looks terrible.
Simons is a pup -- I haven't seen him play.
The concept of Bazemore is always better than the reality.
Zonja?  Tolliver?  39 year old Pau?  Yikes.

Nassir is a 19 year old rook.
Labissiere a good redraft flyer, but unclear what he can do.

They better find a vet PG in case Lillard misses any time or Simons is overwhelmed.  Lin, Frazier, whoever else is still floating around out there.

Nurkic won't be back til Feb or so.
And how happy will Whiteside be going to the bench.  He's a sulker.

Looks like this season could be a slog for POR.
I'll switch to Under the 49.5, now that I look at their roster.

Les is less

Well Les, as usual, you're a waste of time.

Either make a case that McCollum is better than Beal, admit you were wrong, or continue to jerk yourself off in goofy posts.

I'll drop my wager on #3.

Seems POR has the highest payroll this season -- $143M.
Next year, Lillard & McCollum will combine for $60M.
The season after, when McC's new extension kicks in, they will make $75M combined!

GM Insley says the McCollum deal sends a message to the league about coming to play in Portland. I like the develop and keep mantra. Works when you draft well. Sorry, Knicks

McCollum embodies NBA hard work. Had THREE starts combined his first 2 years while playing 12, then 15 minutes per

45/40/84 career sniper.

I don’t see any reason to compare the 2

Do we care what we will pay Robinson when his deal is up?

No. He is OURS and we want to keep him

Sorry, that should read:
