    If we could do it both landry and hayes would be a very nice offseason, Hayes>Joel big time after Joel's two bad injuries

    The bad news is.... Sounds like landry has half a dozen teams after him. This according to freeman on twitter.

    What Quick needs to realize is the Blazers don't have 5 mil.

    There are actually a lot of unrestricted free agent big men out there

    Just don't think the full MLE gets it done

    Tyson Chandler
    Nene
    Kris Humphries
    Samuel Dalembert

    That's assuming Roy is waived

    From what I've heard the team with have the full MLE if they waive Roy

    Roy won't be back imo. I think the main reason they say that haven't made a decision yet is because Roy has meant so much to the organization they're not just going to cut and run at first notice. They're trying their best to soften the blow a little bit as the organization does and always will love Roy.

    I hope you're right. This team hasn't had the best track record of doing the right thing

    He is correct. Roy is gone.

    Since 2006 they've been pretty good at not making terrible personnel decisions.

    Cutting Roy saves so much $ for Paul Allen, and Paul is reportedly much tighter with the wallet these days. Not that he won't spend when necessary, but he's definitely trended away from writing blank checks.

    Dave Smith was suggesting today that Portland should go after DeAndre Jordan. Any thoughts on what his price tag might be?

    probably very high and Clips have said they will match any offer, all we "might" have is full MLE and no way that works

    Yeah, DeAndre will easily get more than the MLE.

    besides not paying Lux tax do not non lux tax teams receive payments from a pool created by the teams that paid the tax? so isn't it somewhat of a "double whammy" and mean even the potential for more millions if Roy is amnestied?

    Hmmm.

    Darius Miles Medical Waiver

    Threatening letter to the other teams

    Sergio - Never panned out

    Peteri - Still not close to being in the league

    Rudy - Not a good fit with Nate

    Claver - Another player not here

    Freeland - Another player not here

    Oden - Knew about medical issues

    Roy - Knew about medical issues before they drafted him and when they extended him

    Starting Blake over Miller

    Babbitt - Sucks

    Williams - knew about medical issues

    KP

    Cho

    Comcast - was that after 2006?

    Nate continues to coach even though this team hasn't been close to getting out of the first round

    I said personnel decisions, as in building the roster.

    And from your list, the only thing on there that really sucks is the Roy contract. Everything else is pretty minor.

    Oden thing yes, but they picked the player everyone else would have picked. The situation is as much as bad luck as anything else.

    Overall, the personnel decisions have not been bad at all over the past 5 years. The majority of issues your bring up are pretty minor.

    edit - Cho's decision to trade Bayless...now that was bad. I'll give you that one.

    Thanks for nothing, Cho.

    Minor to some, but I count 8 first round picks that have been poor choices to this point. Oden might have been picked by many, but if the medical staff knew, which they said they did, then it was foolish to draft him

    None of them are crippling moves(minus Roy). Missing on late 1st round draft picks is not unheard of. Pretty minor.

    Really just leaves the Roy contract for me, but that problem is about to be taken care of.

    Wow that team would never see a zone defense. Not a lot of shooters.
