    I would trade for Kobe. Then suspend him for 10 years, paid of course.

    Team isn't ready to take on veterans yet, needs a bench first, then some more playoff experience.

    Team will be looking to improve in the offseason with the idea of playing for a title next year.

    Ha ha. Good one Nate.

    No one seriously wants to trade Wes because of Will. Except for BGD apparently. So like I said: no one. ;)

    Let Barton prove over a full season he can contribute in a sixth man role before even thinking about this.

    I agree with everyone that says no to trading Wesley because of how hard he plays. We took a huge jump this year. Who is to say we do not focus on defense next year while reshaping our bench without any changes to the starting lineup, but taking that next step?

    The problem is some people just read the headlines and don't click on them. So someone casually checking the forum, say Wes' mom or Wes himself could read that and be a bit ticked or discouraged.

    They don't need to read the forum. The blazers tweeted a false statement that people on here were wanting to trade Wes because of Will, so I went ahead and obliged them.

    I usually agree with you, but not this time. Trading Wes might end up like Boston trading Perk.

    Because of Will?

    I said that I would consider trading him because I think he's streaky. It had nothing to do with Will. I think I suggested trading him, moving Nic to shooting guard, and then signing Deng.

    I'd rather trade Lillard than Wes.
