    Ending it now, and re-starting it a year from now when all our players get healthy?

    But seriously, Oden returning to full health and beastin it up would heal a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooottttttttt of wounds. And Nico developing as a star would be awesome too.

    As I stop in here real quick...

    Quick tweeted that the LA doctor said Oden's knee is healing correctly and will be stronger with time and that's why he's not being rushed.

    As far as "salvaging" this season I'll let the regular doom and gloomers freak out about it.

    Well, at least we know about Roy now, and hopefully can start planning accordingly.

    Cho's got his work cut out for him. I wonder if he is going to make any moves to "salvage the season."

    Joel and Greg. Without them, forget about it.

    What kind of stopgap moves do you have in mind? Who are you willing to part with?

    I can think of one guy. He's a rangy 6'11" PF who prefers to play outside of the paint and has only got 5 rebound in consecutive games.

    Well, I guess Patty Mills, if it can get us CP3.

    Edit: would be willing to throw in Sean Marks as well, if NO needs a sweetener.

    If we trade Aldridge, who plays power forward?

    Funny thing is, this is close to the mindset many Blazer fans have.

    Change Mills for Miller and Marks for Przybilla and you'd be right.

    We package Aldridge with a pick or an expiring contract and get a real PF. One that can rebound and doesn't waste his time shooting perimeter shots all game.

    Do you think someone would take LMA's contract?

    It was Andre Miller, LaMarcus Aldridge and Dante Cunningham to New Jersey for Devin Harris, Derrick Favors and Terrence Williams.

    Nice! I'd do that trade in a quick second! Favors is going to be a beast and Devin Harris is better and younger than Miller. Williams is more of a talent than Cunningham.

    Now's the tough part. Why would NJ do it?
