    Based on trade and FA rumors, the Blazers may have a pretty good D next year. Forget CP3 for now. (You will only be disappointed in the end) Look at this potential team:

    Miller/Chalmers
    Roy /Wes Mathews
    Deng/Batum
    LMA/Camby
    Oden/Camby

    Babbitt
    Dante
    Perdegraf
    L Williams
    Armon Johnson or Patty Mills

    I could live with that. I think Nate could too. It is a tough minded group.

    I was just thinking that too. Start Batum and bring Deng off the bench.

    Probably as I think Utah would match anyways. Then we could use the Mid level for a shooter.

    I'm hoping he's replaced with Ellis from GSW. Perfect pair with Roy.

    Stephen Curry from GSW would be a perfect match next to Roy, Ellis I don't like much. Would rather keep Miller then get Ellis.
