    lets say this is possible, no other players, no picks, would you do it

    contend for the chip or keep the young bucks and build for the future

    No.


    PSA - People, please click the button that shows “display votes publicly” when creating a poll. I want to know which of you is silly enough to want to trade these 2 for what… Not 1, not 2, not 3, 4??? Years of LeBron James. (More like 2 years probably)

    I want a championship, if that means trading those two youngsters for a guy that is still around the top 10 and someone the league still wants to prop up, than I'd mortgage the future for that. And yes I say that being totally impressed with Sharpe so far and enjoyed Simons finally breaking out in a big way in that 3rd. Even with the hot start, I don't see this as a title contender.

    Lbj does not guarantee a ring.

    At this stage in his career, even though he's still massively impressive, his only chance to win a title is if he has a 3 month break in the middle of it.

    I hate LeBron James, but you’re looking at this the wrong way. NBA titles are extremely hard to come by in Portland. We haven’t won one in 45 years. If trading for a superstar like James can get you that title, you do in a heartbeat. You do it yesterday. Who cares if you don’t win another title for 10 years? Who cares if you’re a mediocre team for a long time? Celebrating a title makes it all worth it. You worry about rebuilding later. The only reason Portland tanked last year was because they’ve never been able to get a player like James to come to Portland.

    No. It’s not ALL about winning. I don’t want Lebron on the Blazers even if it were for free.

    Agreed but he also puts the Blazers in that conversation, they aren't as currently constructed.

    Says you. I see major room for improvement on this team especially on Offense. With the right tweak or two(the right role players brought in) i think we could be contenders without having to add another mvp caliber player.

    No, absolutely not. LBJ in no way guarantees a ring, not at his age and not in this current league. I think our best chance at a ring will be in about two years when Sharpe and Ant develop and Dame is in his late prime with 3 years of gelling around Chauncey-Ball.

    You don’t have to trade for LBJ, just draft his son Bronny and he will come to Portland

    Your right, it doesn’t. However it’s probably the closest we would be to a championship team since the 2000 Blazers team.
