    For those who feel conflicted about this beautiful basketball being played and the prospect of getting a pick in this draft I would say, don't. If the Pelicans pick conveys to us and our pick conveys to the Bulls, we'll have one pick to either use or deal on draft night and all of our future picks that we can try to improve the team with as well. At this point we have to be pulling for the playoffs because we're only the tenth pick and I'd rather have all of our future firsts freed up than the tenth pick.

    Welcome to the bandwagon. Ant plus Lillard is going to be absolute Plasma if they both can just play average defense.

    The Blazers do it again and head to the All-Star break on a 4 game winning streak. Ant and Nurk with monster games. Come talk about the win with us!

    And we also would have that Lillard guy and he seems like he might be a legit player in this league. Still mulling that... :P

    When Wiz is convinced that Ant is real. You know it's real.

    When Lillard and Naz come back it's just not going to be fair to other teams

    Saying this for years
    And there's still a lot that has to happen before the Blazers' pick conveys.

    This is what you want to see, though. You've got a great culture forming, the players really seem to have great chemistry on and off the court, we've found and are developing a couple of rotation guys and auditioning a couple of others, and we've got resources to add to the mix in the offseason presumably with Dame and Nas back. The is pretty much perfect.

    We finally have that second all-star to pair with Dame. Need to get as many athletic wings as possible. Not sure I want Grant at all if he's gonna be a diva and ask for shots. Between Dame/Ant/Nurk/Hart there won't be too many possessions to go around.
