    LMA becoming the next dirk under Stotts is it for me though

    Lillard a close second

    For me it is the (according to what has been said and written) the new offensive philosophy that should, IMO, maximize the talents of Lillard and LaMarcus, and others. Yes, I'm excited about those players, and Batum, but if Nate were still in charge -- not so much.

    Yeah, we should be allowed 2 votes each! (heh heh)

    If my name hadn't been on one option, I'd have voted for Stotts. I always see the team from the top down, a managerial perspective, so I talk about GM and Coach more than players.

    This poll needs to be re-done now that we have Morrison.

    You beat me to the punch. I was going to ask if I could change my vote now that we have Adam. Nice work sir.

    Guess you never watched the 2 teams Stotts coached previously.

    I'm excited to watch Lillard - and am keeping my fingers crossed that JJ Hickson puts an entire season together resembling what he exhibited last season. If both Lillard and Hickson are for real...we may in for more fun than most think!

    I'm as unexcited for this season as I've been since the PatterNash era.

    This is going to be a very long painful season. If Lillard or Batum don't show the potential to be all-stars on a good contending team we should definetely consider trading away Aldridge and doing a longer term rebuild. Think of what the Jazz did getting Favors, Kanter, Harris, picks and salary relief for Deron Williams. Or what the Nuggets got with Melo. Now I hope we have a piece to build along with LMA, but if not we may be looking at a minimum 3 or 4 year rebuild. Better to get the most for LA now before he bolts as a free agent or declines as he enters his 30's.

    What has me excited? That in seven short months, this season will be over.

    Seriously, I can't remember being so down on this franchise in all my years as a Blazer fan (which is as long as I've had a conscious thought).
