    I haven't sat down and figured out everybody but I would like to start with getting Nerlens Noel. Give up Crabbe for that and a pick as suggested by others as well. Meyers, Ed davis, Aminu, I think you can touch anybody but Dame,Cj,Moe, Plums.

    I really think folks prefer a baritone for the color guy and the tenors bother listeners...Hurd is a tenor...doesn't bug me at all

    Not everybody! Please read my many posts in the Trading CJ thread, including this one I made earlier today.

    In that post I made a case for C.J. actually being a legitimate MIP candidate again this year. His scoring efficiency and his shooting percentages have made an even bigger leap this year (so far) than they made last year.

    The guy has improved significantly and steadily four years in a row. He hasn't yet reached his peak/prime. Trading him away before we even see his full potential would be foolhardy and shortsighted.

    I've ALWAYS been against trading C.J., completely disagree with the they can't coexist crowd and disagree just as much with the Crabbe should be starting C.J. should be our 6th man crowd.

    Yeah. We really lucked into getting Altman. REALLY lucked into getting him. If he had been any younger UCLA or even Iowa State would have picked him up.

    Agreed. Dame and CJ gives this team a chance to be a top 5 offense for the next 5+ years. Find another skilled offensive player, ideally at the 4 and a rim protector and they look more like a contender.

    Top 3 offense and 10th ish D with some injury luck gives this franchise a shot.

    Exactly, you see the team now with improved defense, adding Nerlens would boost that a ton just being a rim protector.

    If we could get both Noel and Ibaka (or similar quality), I'd gladly give up anyone and everyone on our roster not named McCollum and Lillard. Everyone else is replaceable. As much as I like Plumlee, if we get Noel and Ibaka he becomes expendable and too expensive to keep anyway. Might was well move him if it gets us something worthwhile in return. The ESPN crew was talking abut him getting a potential $20 million contract - and they meant per season, not total.

    Plumlee is doing a pretty good job of picking his spots to attack. Although that "hook" shot was a bonus.

    Calabro and Hurd sound like commentators for the warriors that are being nice to the Blazers

    Btw, we have to be showcasing Meyers because Davis is made for games like this

    Here's an idea....

    Let's trade CJ!

    (For a backup player.... On our own roster.... As in he'll eventually need some rest for a few minutes.... no?)
