    I also think it is safe to say that not having a "GM" did not hamper their ability to get in on the action. I know some will still argue this point, but they would be wrong. IMHO

    Because the arena would be half empty and no one would tune in.

    Aldridge is a guy we can build around. Wallace is not.

    @wojyahoonba first reported Howard talks ending, and second source confirms now. Being told Portland stood to gain 4 first-rounders in deal.

    Maybe the Blazers made up this rumor to try to stir up interest in Wallace...

    Jeez. That's 5 picks total in the first round including ours. Would've been sick.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If they were planning on using those picks to get in on the bidding for better players than Wallace (packaged with other assets), then I'm encouraged too. If the philosophical leap is to gather picks in return for good players and use the picks themselves, I'm far less encouraged.

    I'm not talking about strictly using all of those picks to draft and keep players, I'm only talking about flexibility and giving themselves multiple options -- The more moves you have on the proverbial "chessboard" the better.

    That's not that hard. I'm always excited about the Blazers. Hell news of Oden picking his nose could make me bust a nut.

    Maybe it was two for Wallace and two for taking back Outlaw.
