    im torn I would love to Siakam, Grant, Dame and Sharpe together but it still doesn’t feel like enough and if you can’t put that final piece in there I don’t think that’s championship team.

    If you get OG to go with Siakam in a deal, you have a shot to make some serious noise.

    If you get Claxton to go with Bridges, I would say the same.

    There are no super teams. Plus , the Blazers will try to add additional depth to the bench, with an eye on a knock down shooter. At that point health, like with every team, is the deciding factor. Siakam or Bridges as the main player in all this immediately makes the Blazers a player.

    Going to one fun watching Joe & Chauncey engineer a contender in a couple years.
    Dame will be able to play into mid to upper 30's easily. Besides todays 33 is yesterdays 28, especially the way Dame stays fit.
    Year after next we are playing for WC crown, I just got back from a fortune teller, that works with Barfo. Nice looking winch too.

    I think Ayton might be nice piece, Paul George, Bam, Kawhi, or a player close to that level. Would have to go all in tons of draft picks so sacrifice future for all in now. Couple of high risk players there with each having issues or concerns.

    not saying I would do this just saying this is type of deal you need to make if you want win now

    Some fans love Dame and want him to have a chance at a ring....and think he might have a better chance somewhere else.

    Yeah. Not really. Fans aren't that selfless no matter what they type on a sports forum.

    Disagree, many Blazers fans were rooting for and happy Drexler won in Houston.

    They were pissed he shunned Portland after his time here though. If he had good things to say or pay tribute as Kersey/Porter/Walton/others did he'd be held in much higher regard

    We aren't discussing Drexler and there was no internet then, at least no social media like now. And few, if any, would be screaming Trade Drexler
