    Given this Blazers team is not supposed to be considered a rebuilding team anymore?

    No, but thanks for playing. Anyone who would ask this question either hasn't been a Blazers fan for more than a couple of years or isn't a Blazers fan at all.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Well, to be fair, his post did take "rebuilding teams" out of the comparison. But since "rebuilding" isn't an on/off state, it's hard then to know what teams to compare this one to. It might be the worst expensive team in team history.

    Even then we'll be hard-pressed to out suck the '05 team which had Miles, Ratliff, and Randolph all underachieving on new contracts. They tanked the end of the season and finished 27-55.

    That's true, that is a good contender. This team is more expensive (relative to the cap), I think, but it's unlikely to finish with as bad a record. Unless they, too, tank the end of the season.

    Then you should have used a title for the thread that matched what you meant.

    You chose the thread title: "Is this the worst Blazers team ever assembled?".

    The answer to that question is simple: no, not even close.

    Maybe you should have asked, "Is this the most disappointing Blazers team ever assembled?". Because, it sounds like that's really what you meant to ask.

    It's worse than last year's team, which means the personnel changes made this summer were negative on the whole and need to be corrected quickly if it's not too late.

    Frankly, none of them made sense to me.

    not by that far, 05-06 we went 21-61 dead last in the West.

    how you ask?

    Steve Blake, Juan Dixon, Jarrett Jack, Viktor Khryapa, Voshon Lenard, Darius Miles, Travis Outlaw, Joel Pryzbilla, Zach Randolph, Theo Ratliff, Ha Seung-jin, Brian Skinner, Sebastian Telfair, & Martell Webster

    honestly, that team shouldnt have been that shit.

    spookily enough, thats the same feeling i have for our current team.

    Dead last in team Def Rtg and second to last in Off Rtg.

    Imagine this year's defense with MEM's offense.

    Our current scoring differential is -4. That team's was almost -10. To put that in perspective, last year PHI was 10-72 with a scoring differential of -10. And, as bad as things seem right now, we've already won 3 more games that PHI won all of last season.
