    Keep an eye on DeAndre Jordan and the Clippers. If they deal him, it will signal a total rebuild. Although, this process probably began when CP3 bolted to Houston.

    Prediction: Neil will target Blake Griffin.

    Anyone on the roster is available outside the core-3 of Dame, CJ and Nurk. This will obviously avoid a rebuild by Portland as the current roster isn't close to title contention.

    What say you?

    Doesn't he have a ridiculous contract? Especially towards the end? Offensively he would fit nicely though. He's had a few injuries too. I wouldn't hate it.

    I'd rather target a proven big man coach, but since that doesn't appear to be an option, sure, why not? Since we refuse to invest in developing our young big men, we might as well get one that already has a mature game.

    Oh and who gives a flying fuck about his contract. Paul Allen is getting a huge tax break, he can afford it. I don't get the hand wringing over the owner having to pay a luxury tax. If he wants to pay it, let him.

    I don't think anyone seriously cares about the money. However it does seem like that does play a part in who we consider. Or seems to. We are lucky to have Paul Allen.

    The only reason I would care about his contract is when he gets up there in age and is making like 39 mil per (think of that number for a minute!). If he is still doing well (IE not injured) and we could trade him because we didn't want to pay them then I say go for it. Of course if I could see the future I would be a multiple lottery winner.

    I"d offer CJ for Blake straight up. Don't know why LA would do that though

    I really don't want him. I'd rather root for guys that are not assholes.

    He's a winning piece though, and not a huge asshole.

    I actually think he's a huge asshole.
    There are a lot of players I dislike around the league that I would probably cheer for if the became Blazers. But Griffin is really someone I don't want any part of

    yes please. Already mentioned him in the other Jordan thread. Doubt Doc wants a rebuild, as coach or GM, but maybe he steps down as coach?

    But Blake already an all star. We want players we can develop. Keep in mind CJ and Dame have never been an all star.

    What would we give the Clippers? No way we have anything worth trading outside our big 3.
