    I really liked Noah, but probably better to lose him than Ed Davis . . .

    It was the right move...

    As the first move of a set of two-three follow up moves.

    Von is 22, David West began to be good when he was around 24-25.


    (I don't know why i'm always measuring these two against each other lol)

    They didn't buy him. We paid them didn't we?

    Right? Maybe if we actually played the guy we could have gotten an asset for him, rather than having to PAY to get rid of him.
    Fucking Terry. Fucking Neil.

    I've been on the Vonleh train for a long time now. Don't be surprised if he becomes productive.

    I was high on Vonleh. I still am. I can't remember being more disappointed by a trade. I remember being sad to see Alvin Williams go. This one is just a player getting dicked over. Everyone loves Ed here, but I think Vonleh will be a better player and if this team wasn't so delusional about its chances it would've kept a guy like Vonleh around to help with a rebuild. Now I expect continued mediocrity. Not that I didn't before, but this one just feels like giving up.

    Can we change the title in this thread to "Blazers pay Chicago to take Vonleh?"

    It's more apt.

    Well they were not playing him so I don't see how they got worse. This move was for this summer not today IMO. They have several young PF's and they can't keep them all. Maybe they like Collins and Swanigan better for the future.....

    We've already played them twice this year. I doubt we ever face off against Vonleh as a Bull.

    More like Paul pays, since it won't show up on the cap sheet.

    I liked Vonleh a lot but am really glad it was him and not Ed Davis or Bazz that got moved for cap relief...fact is nobody wanted the guys I wanted to trade...Vonleh seems like a kid that'll take some maturing to click...Swanigan is the opposite on the maturity scale....I'm glad Biggie is back on the roster

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Vonleh probably wasn't getting another contract from the Blazers anyway, as he hadn't shown anything beyond career journeyman talent. I'm fine with starting the Rakovic era.
