LA being out for 2-3 games will not change our long term plan. Come on now

No, but injuries to Freeland and Aldridge shows how thin this team is. When an injury to Leonard significantly hurts the Blazers . . . it shows how weak we are at that big man positions.

That is just not a fun thought to comprehend.

With and w/o Aldridge

Not good...

Doesn't matter how good our bigs are. When three of them are gone, it's bad. I can't think of any team in the league which is a great team even when losing three of their bigs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Plenty of time for the Blazers to get into the Asik sweepstakes.

WHy would Houston help us?

There is still a question weather or not to call them a Big three or a Big two?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Some ideas for you to chew on:

Crabbe for Pierre Jackson

Robinson for the equally disappointing Biyombo.

Why on earth would Houston want our garbage? They are looking to improve as well. What could we possibly position to them that would improve their championship chances THIS season?

Still think they can do better BG.

A wes Mathews or a Nic Batum type just not on the Blazers?

It's a trap.

He's indirectly begging you to name CJ.

lmao. Not going there. I wouldn't move CJ for him. Still not enough info.

Don't you think they would both help them more than a Mo Williams would? Beverly is doing a nice enough job at point isn't he?

 

[jlprk]

36 hours!

beverly and lin are both good. They really don't need another PG

The Boston Celtics are mining interest in both Jeff Green and Rajon Rondo, according to Bleacher Report. To bad we don't like Rondo's character. Lillard, Rondo and Aldridge would hands down be the best big three in the league.

How would Rondo fit on our team?

 

[Denny Crane]

20 assists a night. Batum 20 dunks a night.

Well, really I'm talking about whether he and Dame could play together.

Rondo isn't a great shooter. He doesn't appear to fit into Stotts' system.

then stotts needs to adjust his system. Hornacek is making the dual pg attack work great in Phoenix.

That's because they're very similar types of players. Rondo and Dame couldn't possibly be more different.

 

[Schilly]

Deng being floated to the league... Might be a really good time to entertain a Batum for Deng swap. Deng has played quite a bit of PF over the years. Deng IMO is a better player than Batum, and yes I know older, but he fits the Lamarcus window and also adds more mid to paint scoring and defense.

Until LMA is back start Lillard, CJ, Matthews, Deng, Lopez with Mo, Wright, Robinson and Claver coming off the bench. Then once LMA is back return to starting lineup and let LMA play a little 5 when Lopez rests.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

^^ Deng

[illmatic99]

Deng doesn't have Batum value (I don't think he's a better player than Nic anyway). But this is especially true when Deng can walk in the summer. Come on now

 

[RR7]

I feel like overnight, half the teams have come out saying basically everyone except for one or two guys can be had, and yet feel like nothing will end up happening at the deadline.
