A deal that could be made and agreeable by both Teams is: Gordon to Blazers; Hood, Collins, and Ant to Magic. Our lineup would be strengthened by having starters - Dame, CJ, Covington, Gordon, Nurk. And a bench unit - Trent, Little, DJJ, Melo, Kanter. With Giles, Elleby and an additional...

I've been watching this game for a long, long time. Top players win championships in this league much more than balanced teams do (shout out to '77 Blazers). I know in the last 45 years that the BLAZERS don't get a chance at a top level player very often (Bird, Moses, Barkley, Pippen...

Who would I protect? 1. Dame 2. CJ 3. Nurk 4. Covington 5. Collins 6. Trent Jr 7. Simons 8. Hood Jones = oh so close with Hood....but Hood is more likely to opt in and stay with team Melo = too old Kanter = contract too short Little = close but chose Jones over him as Hood is in our rotation...

What did the Blazers know? Was anything ever published or quoted?

If I knew that Nurkic was coming back before the trade deadline of Feb 6, I would strongly consider doing a Whiteside & 2nd Round pick to CHI for Otto Porter trade. I don't know if that's enough for CHI to say yes, but it's more than having a player just walk away /expire. Porter has been...

I'd like to see trades this year that set us up for better seasons and balance in years going forward. I'd be in favor of deals for Blake Griffin or Andrew Wiggins. Yes, I'd use CJ's contract to get them. I think the experiment of having two 6' 3" guards has failed. We need more length...

Why in favor? His stats are almost identical to Geoff Petrie's and his #45 is hanging in the rafters.

I can go either way with this topic. I would "retire" his #7 because of his ROY season, All-Star seasons, bringing us out of worst W-L record years and his exciting games (Dallas Gm4 playoffs & Game winner over Rockets). I would NOT "retire" his #7 because his play for the Blazers didn't rise...

.....And Steve "Snapper" Jones. RIP

I know it's just pre-season, but I've watched 2 of 3 games and I'm a bit worried. Something doesn't look right. I think they start DL, CJ, Hood, Collins, Whiteside. But I'm impressed with how much energy Bazemore brings.

Linton Townes - pure, sweet shooter!

If I can get my walker wheels pointed the right way, I'll be there.

If the foil is cut nicely at the top, then bottles re-filled with food colored water, these will look good for many years!!!

Back to the actual topic....... I voted Meyers Leonard. His stats will surpass what he did for the Blazers. He'll have career highs for PTS, REBS, etc.

Whiteside is going to be a monster for us! He'll be renewed with energy and will play hard for Dame & mates. As we had previously pursued him as a Free Agent, I also think we may have NO intention of trading him by the deadline. He'll be happy to re-sign here and we have his bird rights (IIRC).
