    I'd like to see Rudy Gay try to hold Lebron to a season low 11 pts in a game sometime...Aminu is a better defender

    Aminu did a GREAT job that night. It was tempered a bit by the story that came out that the game against the Blazers was basically a 'strike' game in protest against David Blatt.

    Gasol being aggressively shopped by CHI to clear 5 mil to get under the tax limit on what's turning out to be a lost season.

    Can we get in on a three-way, absorb salary (Noah/Gasol/etc) and steal their pick this year? They have their own, and also SAC's (top 10 protected)

    Man... if Chicago would trade Butler, I would easily offer up CJ+2 other pieces.

    Rudy Gay is exactly the type of player I don't want the blazers getting right now. Not good enough to make you a contender but will steal developmental minutes away from younger players.

    I'm anti-Gay, but at least I'm not Homerphobic like you guys.

    And that's also probably what you would have said about Gerald Henderson.

    I think Gasol would like it here and be a great fit

    If we trade for Gay, then it's imperative that we trade for Love and Mayo too

    I am OK with not going after Gay. But the number of shots he takes should not be a factor IMO. As someone pointed out CJ and Dame are often not in the game with the other, so it's it's not like the Blazers will always have 3 of those guys competing for shots.

    Regardless who they target as that 3rd scorer.......the bottom line is they still need the 3rd guy. Whether it is a SF or PF, someone else needs to be good enough to create his own shot to go along with CJ and Dame.

    Butler/Gasol... I would give up CJ/Leonard/Vonleh/Kaman/Hendo.

    Would that be enough?

    If we got Gay he'd likely come off the bench which would be great
