Portland has unrealistic expectations?? From who??

I especially like the part about "finally" giving up on the backcourt of CJ and Damian...those 2 years sure felt like 5 or 6
 
What unrealistic expectations? Man, i guess this is bleachers ireport.
 
Gasol is 33 years old. I think it makes sense to move him while they can. (if Memphis struggles early)

CJ is 26. So if we move him who is our SG? There is no one else unless this guy thinks we would be trading for a better one.
That does not seem very likely or logical when we already lack shooters.
 
In my view you have to give the current team at least a year or two. If Nurk, ZCo, Biggie, Hark, Aminu can't cover for the defensive shortcomings of the guard, and it holds the team back, then you make the trade before Nurk, Biggie and ZCo hit their prime. Personally, I think that the current bigs just might be good enough to do it.
 
Yes, because we were the youngest team to make the playoffs the last two years, got almost five years younger at the starting center spot and just added a pair of 19/20 year old rookies to our rotation.

Definitely time to blow it up and go younger. We just need the NBA to lower the minimum draft age so we can draft a couple middle schoolers. Anyone have the scouting report on the best 11-year olds or the top recruits from the class of 2025?

What a crock of shit.

All those media assholes who bet the "over" on the Blazers record last summer (after the team's success) and the easy "Under" a year earlier,when LaMarsha left are now comfortably betting on the "under" again because the Blazers didn't do any better last season.

I was listening to Bill Simmons' podcast last night.
Bill and his employees ranked us under the Nuggets and the fucking Clippers.
Really guys? Nurkic and the 3rd best backcourt in the league are not better than Jokic,Murray and 33yr old Millsap? or fucking DeAndre Jordan (who can't play in the 4th)+ crackhead Patrick Beverly and Danilo "i only play 40 games" Gallinari ???
 
what idiot thought of this plot twist? jesus. How dare this person mention us with Memphis. That's an actual disaster. Portland is fine. No need to do anything right now
 
If they were going to give up CJ, they should have gotten Jimmy Butler.

I think it's lazy to suggest trading a player without offering some realistic ideas.

Honest question. What should be the Blazers expectations?
 
Our schedule says we'll get off to a great start. 10 of 11 at home after the short road trip?
 
This thread was meant for the day after Wes blew his Achilles out..
 
We don't blow it up, we just keep adding pieces to the bomb! :dancepenguin:
