    They never have insider knowledge. They rely on this forum for breaking news. :)

    You sir, are not a hard core Blazer fan if you dont know who these guys are.

    I don't see Plumlee similar to Davis and Howard personally. I am ok with going after Dwight but I don't think it is going to play out the way you say it is. Nice thing is time will tell.

    Also true. My mind is like Rhode Island. It's half the size of a normal state of mind

    If you sign a center, one of Plumlee or Davis need to go.

    I tend to lean towards keeping Davis because he's on a dirt cheap contract and I think he's more suited to coming off the bench, but I would be open to moving him if the deal was right. He had a really great year, so he might be worth more on the trade market (especially with that contract that he has.)

    Here is where I disagree to a point. If you get a Center one of Plumlee, Davis or Leonard has to go.

    If two of those 3 current guys go you just need to go get another big so I don't see that happening.

    Plumlee and davis cant hit the broad side of a barn or create space for howard. One has to go.

    Leonard and aminu would play most of the pf minutes. With aminu able to play some sf, and leonard able to play c at the end of games if they start hack a dwight.

    Maybe but there is no way I am betting on that this year. He gets another redshirt year (or a real one this time) for me. I would even put him in D League (I think they relaxed the rules on that).

    Leonard is not a PF. He can shoot of course but he is a Center. This isn't even a question anymore.

    Davis has actually played PF the best out of all these guys but yes he doesn't shoot well.

    Man.... if ATL blows it up, I want Millsap. I think he and Howard could play together.

    I agree he is not necessarily a pf. But you can play him there based on matchups. And can play aminu there or vonleh depending on other matchups.

    I think they need to blow it up. Their guys are all pushing 30 and they clearly don't have what it takes to advance.

    They just traded Teague for the 12th pick, they may be blowing it up.

    That would be one heck of an off-season.

    One might even say that was a 'Needle Mover'.

    I remember watching Dwight on TNT. He handled a tough interview pretty well.
