    If we trade Robinson, the poor guy might just retire.

    I'll trust our genius gm. I mean I hate Chandler and I love our chemistry but there is no denying he can defend and could probably be Lopez plus.

    Why do people keep saying we're the top-ranked offense?

    With where Chandler is at in his career, Robinson is. Very similar to Jermaine for Dale all over again. Not insinuating that Thomas is the next Jermaine.

    Most points per game? Top in offensive efficiency?

    If they could get him without moving the core of LA, Damian, Nic, Matthews, Robin, TRob, Mo, CJ. I'm all over the deal and think this gives Portland a great chance this year.

    We would be decimating our bench in a trade for Chandler. Send some draft picks our way, baby!

    they already blew their wad of draft picks on, among others, Bargnani.

    Oh. That's too bad for them. We can use some draft picks. Brian, who would you rather trade for, Asik or Chandler?

    Probably Asik. I don't like either's attitude, but I don't trust Chandler to play the amount and duration that he'd need to to make up for the amount of players we have to send out just to make salaries match. And maybe Asik can snap out of his displeasure with being stuck behind Howard and not being able to play the 4.

    In all honesty, I'm not horrified by the troika of Freeland/Leonard/Robinson backing up our bigs.

    I agree. I like the combination of Freeland and Robinson, but I cringe every time I see Leonard on the defensive side of the floor.

    Blazers had great chemistry Back in the late 80s- early 90s and what did that get them?

    Gee, two NBA Finals and three WCFs. I'd take that kind of run again.

    I don't see that we have the pieces. Also, I worry about rocking the chemistry boat. I think this team's success is based on its chemistry more than its talent.

    I think Chandler would be a nice player for us, and Stotts certainly knows him well, but I'm cautious about messing with our team.
