    I wonder why he had such little value then? It’ll be a mystery

    I really want Sam Hauser in the Bos trade. Wonder what that would take?

    He didn't get to play much behind the slew of talented young wings Houston has. Good time to buy low.

    Trivia: Sam Hauser is from Steven's Point, Wisconsin, which I have only heard of because of TERRY PORTER

    Are we now a better team since dumping DA? Not a tough question. Will we be better this season without him. Yes or no?

    I say yes. With Splitter and St. Andrew joining the team. There will be much more emphasis on ball movement and player movement. Ayton isn’t near the passer Clingan or maybe even MMMBop. Talent and fit are two different things. Ayton has more talent, but he wouldn’t fit with this new iteration of the Blazers.

    Now. If I get another condescending post directed at me from you, you will move out of my top 40 favorite posters. You DO NOT want to be in that group.

    I’ll be awaiting your apology

    Really like the way they're rebuilding. 5 solid vets but they either cut years of salary or got picks to take them on.

    Yeah they're going to suck next year and add a pick. But they don't have stupid long expensive contracts for overpaid vets like we did or like the Raptors do.

    Does Middleton have anything left? I agree they will be much improved. They are missing a Jermi Grant though.

    And middle of the road.

    Forgive me for being desensitized to the musings of a franchise who hasn't done shit in half a decade to ever warrant any faith in them.
