    Is there anyway we can unload Freeland and his bloated contract for space?

    Robinson was put in situations last year where he couldn't thrive. He was one of my top 3 draft prospects last year. That should say a lot to you guys.

    This can't be true. There weren't rumors/leaks prior to this trade.

    Anyhow, good move to strengthen the bench. Robinson WILL find a niche in the NBA, and he'll get the PT in Portland.

    There go the Landry rumors, by the way.

    How long did those guys toil around in Europe? What has Valanciunas done in the NBA to get lumped in with those other guys?

    Perhaps until they get Howard's signature down on paper?

    Thought you never liked Robinson or were you just trolling us?

    At least one Rockets fan likes it for them:

    I have yet to see a Rockets fan squeal about losing Thomas Robinson, and they've known for a month he was being dumped.

    I would take the Toronto V guy in a heartbeat (won't happen though). Better numbers the Asik when he was just coming into the league.

    That's cuz they're about to get Dwight. Of course they don't care about losing TRob in the process

    That's because they want Dwight Howard. Of course they don't care if they lose Robinson if they get Howard. If they don't get Howard, though, they have relegated themselves to a fringe playoff team, which they were last year. For the Blazers, it's a nice pick-up on the cheap.

    I'm not saying Euros are worthless. I'm explaining a bias I admittedly have. Especially as a Blazer fan. Claver and Freeland are barely serviceable.

    I didn't like him as a top pick in the draft. As a back-up PF playing 20 mpg, he should be solid.

    I thought he'd be a bust as a franchise player/top 5 draft pick. Looks like I was right on that one.
