    That would require a proactive GM. Cho is too busy crunching numbers.

    Not necessarily "blow it up", just trade in our bottle rocket for one that isn't broken. Even if it means we throw in our collection of m80's.

    We can certainly tweak the roster though. Can't trade Roy. Aldridge, you're prob not going to get value for him.

    I don't know, watching this pathetic offense with an unfortunately broken down Roy is about as bad as it gets for me

    again... they cant blow it up.

    who is gonna trade for roy or la?

    who is gonna play center if you trade camby or pryz?

    who is gonna play pg if you trade miller????

    rudy, batum, mills, johnson are the only options or draft picks/injury exceptions

    "blow it up," "retool," "shake things up," call it whatever you like, but I think it's clear that changes need to be made. The status quo aint it.

    Pretty clear we need to either shut roy down or trade batum along with Dre Miller. upgrade the 1, get a backup 4...just like what we've needed for YEARS but the general management hasn't really adrressed all that well.

    Wes Matthews ain't going anywhere.

    Starting PG is the problem. Miller is fine but he's old and doesn't mesh well with our "franchise".

    Hey, at least the Blazers have an experienced GM to guide us all through the muck.

    The Bayless trade was fantastic!

    If you can get out from under his contract, you have to do it. I'd trade him for an expiring contract that never even saw playing time.

    His contract isn't nasty. A replacement PF at his contract level will be worse than Aldridge is.
