    If we can get one of those I'd be perfectly fine with it. Just got to wait and see how everything plays out. We need a couple good bench players as well as a center and we could be ok.

    Bizarro World game. Eleven Blazers play and ten of them shoot 50% or better from the field. Lillard goes 1-16.

    Something like that. Same for Paul George.

    Defense (C) and a bench would go a long way for this team

    His shooting percentages aren't that hot.

    Great? No, not really. He's a little better, though. Difference is he gets more playing time.

    He's been better than last season, but I'm not calling Batum "great." He's passing well and shooting the 3 nicely. But he still hasn't improved his handles and doesn't get to the line enough to help this team like an elite SF should.

    Yeah, I guess. I'm not 100% against trading Aldridge. I like our future regardless.

    I agree, but we desperately need offense on this team more than his dime dropping IMHO. His shot inside the arc still looks as flat as it has in previous years.

    This is still a Lillard/Aldridge team. Clearly the best two players.

    If Lillard had just an average game we win. Sheesh.

    I like Aldridge as a #2 guy. If we can find Aldridge a #1 (maybe Lillard can be that guy) would be great. He's too much of a 1 dimensional player. If he's not scoring, he's not really doing much.

    Overpaying him or letting him leave in the offseason for nothing is dumb.

    Overpaying is a dumb strategy to use, yes.

    Whoever signs Hickson to a multi-year contract will be dumb.

    Numbers schmumbers. Hickson will check out mentally as soon as he signs, just like he does on most defensive possessions.
