    CHA would probably trade every single player on their team BUT MKG. Good luck with that one.

    Neal has had some locker room issues in the past, but Henderson is intriguing. His inability to hit the makes him unappealing, but he does provide okay D and can be counted on to score ~10 ppg, which is exactly what we need out of a backup wing. If we can get him for DWright and Vic, I'd be all over it.

    Henderson is shooting 27% from three and has a player option, I highly doubt any team has any interest in him.

    Gary Neal would make sense (40% from three) and is a FA this summer. But with CJ here, even coming back from an injury, I doubt Neil has any interest here.

    Maybe Adam Silver can do something truly outside the box and start the playoffs now, so we'll know if the blazers are a contender by the trade deadline? Someone should start a poll.

    Because we're arguably better without him, and even if by some huge stretch of the imagination we're actually better with him, we're not enough better with him to justify making a change at all.

    If it ain't broke, don't let the mechanic anywhere near it.

    One thing about Neal is he can stay healthy though.

    At one point Lance was someone that I would take a flyer on, but he's making 9 million next year. I'm also not sure if he really fits in Stotts' system.

    Let's look at his numbers last year on a decent team though:

    13.8 ppg, 7.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 49% from the field and 35% from three.

    He had a PER of 14.7.

    The guy just strikes me as Nic Batum with a screw loose. I think he's a little overrated and he has an ego. I would rather have MKG from that team, but there really isn't anyone that blows my skirt up.

    And thus Batum's new nickname was born. I'll be sure to tell my grandchildren when they ask about Batum 30 years from now.

    The chemistry with the starters is as good as I've ever seen with the Blazers.

    The bench is where Neil should look to push this team over the top.

    PG: Blake
    SG: McCollum
    SF
    PF: Freeland
    C: Kaman

    Basically find that SF who can come in and be instant offense:

    Ideal: Gerald Green
    Realistic: ........?
