    66%
    61%
    58%
    49%




    That's the change in the Blazer winning percentage over the last 4 seasons. This fish is rotting from the head down, and the owner cares the least of anybody.

    I would trade Aldridge for Anthony Davis. Would allow for a full rebuild.

    Of course Davis's knees would probably turn into mush the second he stepped into the practice facility.

    I think Anthony Davis is pretty much a sure thing. In that his floor is a top 10 PF.

    Only reason I say this is because it might be hard retaining LA once his contract is up, assuming management keeps making the same shitty decisions. He's also not the youngest star in the league. At 26, he's entering his prime right now. We'll have maybe 5-6 years of Aldridge if we're being optimistic. On the other hand, we might have 10-12 years of Davis.

    Blazers would go full rebuild though, obviously. Retain Batum maybe, suck a few more years for lotto picks.

    Does that mean that you believe this was a must-win game in the middle of the season, KS?

    This is pretty much how I see it. It's mostly about timing.

    + 1. Admittedly, I've given KS shit over his enthusiasm. But I love it. He's a die-hard and if anyone says otherwise, they can go to hell. I love it. I'm just starting to get burnt out by the underachieving, so props to KS for always being positive. Him voicing that we need to rebuild does not change my opinion of his stature because we clearly do need to rebuild.

    No. Too risky. Plenty of guys picked in the top 3 are disappointments. Do you trust our scouting staff and decision makers?

    Yeah me too. Many have thought I was one of the most optimistic homers in here and things changed this season. It's like for the very first time I think the blazers don't care about winning. They sucked before but tried. This team seems to not give a rats ass. It's too frustrating!

    Especially since our management has been doing a terrible job drafting as well.

    So when and how do we tell the Blazers that we've decided the team will tank the rest of the season?

    Ironically, the best way to maximize our chances in the lottery would be to KEEP the current coach.

    Would acquiring Rondo mess with our tank?

    If we get Rondo, I'll stop doing the ditty with HCP's wife.
