    Leonard has negative value right now. CJ didn't show many signs of a high ceiling this year. Matthews is a role player that makes 7 million. Rolo is nice, but being on the last year of his deal he isn't a long term value.

    Any team in the NBA could put together a better offer than us if they are in rebuild mode.

    Luckily most NBA GM's aren't completely impatient like the fans in Portland, or you would realize that CJ was just coming off an injury that had prevented him from playing for a year.

    Why are the Grizzlies a joke? And why are they falling apart? What did I miss?

    Yes. I think he would. What's he doing with the Seahawks? They won the Super Bowl and he's doing exactly what it take to keep it going within the salary guidelines.

    Not sure I would move Nic for him. There are obviously players I would move Nic for, don't think Marc is one of them.

    I doubt CJ will be any better than Jerryd Bayless.

    He's good offensively, but how good defensively is he? Is he as good as Rolo. So whatever you gain with Marc, you lose with Rolo. Defense needs to be as much of a priority for this team right now since defense is an area the team needs to improve this offseason.

    Who are the players realistically that you would move Nic for?

    Their president is gone. The owner is getting ready to run another coach out of the organization. They are very poorly run at the top.

    I think Nic IN A PACKAGE of players can draw a top 25 player. I think he could bring Carmelo Anthony. Not that I want Melo, but I think he can bring that kind of player.

    Not sure what you mean, are you asking if the defensive player of the year is as good as Rolo? Hahaha

    Ain't it about time to meet up with Larry at the Reagle Beagle?

    Don't you think Neil Olshey would have known better than to think that Rolo was the superior defensive player to Marc Gasol?

    What? Why? Allen did a great job on Kevin Durant in the playoffs.

    I don't think Allen fits the Blazers system. Not to mention by the end of his contract he'll be 36. As he ages I feel he'll decline more than the average Guard because of his lack of offense. Not to mention he tore his ACL with the Celtics in 07.
    If it was Courtney Lee instead of Allen, pull the trigger.
