Should the Blazers be adjusting their timeframe?

Yep.

 

I can envision almost no mid-season, multi-player deal that puts us over the top. Sure we could get a couple of players that makes us a tough out in the playoffs, but it's also going to take some time as new guys adjust to their roles, and with most of that feeling out process occurring while also trying to win games, traveling and not much practice, there would almost certainly be some heavy bumps in the road.

Whatever player or players KP goes after shouldn't mortgage the future for a low probability run for this year ... however, this is not the same as saying "bake it." Some kind of consolidation probably does need to occur sooner rather than later with too many assets sitting on the bench (or under utilized) losing value with each passing day.

 

How about we trade PTB GO for OSU GO (the one without the broken hand!). I think that could put us over the top, and it wouldn't hurt our cap!

Here's to hoping Greg gets some rest for the 2nd half of the season.
