    Bledsoe+S&T Ant for Lebron. Give Dame a legit chance at a title. Dame/Hart/Winslow/Lebron/Nurk starting 5.

    Be interesting to see Ant and AD together as well.

    LOL did Dwight stalk this forum and get the idea for this tweet?


    He posted it about 15 minutes AFTER I created this thread.

    Dsj and maclemore are dime a dozen small guards though. Of course we got them. The league is saturated with small guards.

    i think it would require a third all star. And vet min bigs and wings. Not guards. Those are much harder to come by it seems. As i mentioned melo and dhoward types.

    Dwight is a dumbshit. I think LeBron would legit retire before coming to a non Dame Blazers.

    I dont think portland not being a Destination matters if you have dame and LeBron. People will want to win first and foremost.

    We'd also still have the full mle and the two TPEs to fill the roster with. Go all in, big luxury tax year to try to win a title.

    Oh Jesus, never mind. Cavs going all in on a Lebron return. Again.



    For those who don't know, Brandon Weems is one of Lebron's best friends.

    Anything outside of Dame and if you disagree I have to ask if you really want a championship in Portland or just a good team that makes the playoffs? Not only a Dame/LeBron duo be able to lure other big time players to PDX it would also give us our best shot at a championship sense 2000 Blazers team.

    Not sure what the confusion is? I clarified vet min BIGS and wings? I even mentioned vet mins in that original post who were wings and centers. Melo? Dhoward?

    you countered with vet min guards that are dime a dozen. (Dsj and mac)
    Vet min guards ARE dime a dozen. Vet min bigs and wings are harder to come by. Did i miss something?

    why question if some of us really want a championship when the point of contention is if lbj van make it happen?

    he isnt making it happen with ad, so i don't see how we become instant contenders without a third all star.
    Its not about wanting to win it all or not. Its about whether he is still enough to make it happen and whether the rental would be worth that risk to mortgage the future.

    But he DID make it happen with AD. When they had good role players surrounding them. Westbrook is a disastrous fit with that team.

    True. Also during an anomaly bubble year though. And in my opinion, he is deteriorating too fast. Like i said. Lbj of five years ago? Im all in.

    Don't give up anything for him. Just draft Bronny and let him come beg for a spot on the roster.
