    JC doing his best KP impersonation in that article is pretty funny.

    Well the thing is that basically any move you make with those guys is going to be lateral. That is the problem with good support players, they almost have more value to their current team because you know what you have in terms of chemistry. I would also say that Nic and Wesley both have potential to be very good players. LMA has the potential to be a franchise player. That is not a bad core in terms of talent, character, and marketability. All three play hard, seem to be of solid character, and play well in the media. While much of the product is what they bring you on the floor, there is something to be said for the other factors as well. The odds of actually winning the ring are low for 90% of all NBA teams, so you might as well have guys that give effort, don't embarrass you through their actions, and can relate well to the fans.

    I love how Canzano always claims the moral high horse to pontificate on the Blazers. I have no idea whether Camby will be ready to play in 3 weeks or not and neither does Canzano. I do know that there have been players who have recovered that quickly from minor tears so I "feel" it could be a legitimate estimate. Could be that the Blazers are blowing smoke, as Canzano "feels". Man I wish Canzano would win another award for his drivel and move along to a bigger market.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I agree, which is why I wasn't saying that they must be traded. But there are two situations in which I could see dealing them being the right choice. One, another team is a big believer in the potential of one of them and therefore sees either Batum or Matthews as more than a support player down the line. The other situation is you package them both (and maybe a lesser asset...a Rudy, a draft pick) for an actual star or a blue-chip prospect. Generally the team getting the best player in the deal wins, but that hasn't prevented such deals from happening. They're not terribly common, but occur from time to time.

    I heard on one of the opposing team's broadcast this week, that we lead the western conferene in attendance.

    I know they "official" count at the RG is greatly exaggerated. Every home game there has been plenty of available sets, especially in the 200-level.

    After the clippers tear us a new one..... I'm sure Barkley will pick up right where they left off.

    The black seats are all sold out. Getting people to sit in them seems to be a problem, though. I've received free tickets in those seats before on a few occasions and brought one of my kids.

    blowing it up? what does that mean with this roster? Give away Greg Oden for "whatever we can get" just to get rid of him?

    Canzano repeats this mantra in many of his articles. "Clumsy and forced" describes his writing style.

    Not to get too carried away here but apparently Steph Curry could be had for the right price.

    **edit**

    The owner seems sold on Monta as their franchise player but will only give up Steph for a major difference maker. I highly doubt Cho would think of trading the only player on our roster who fits that bill: LaMarcus Aldridge.
