If Reality Called Tomorrow

And the Blazers aren't able to work a trade for, say, LeBron James and the number one pick in this year's draft, and if Olshey intends to stick with 5 starters from last year's team, then what would you want to be his moves to bolster the bench?

 

I hope reality has Channing Frye's phone number because he'd be perfect off the bench for us.

 

Agreed, plus having the combined P-Town love from Channing and Robin would make the Moda Center positively glow.

 

I think the team needs to think more physical and defensive than this. Because that is what they need.

 

Still, we could do a lot worse...

 

In reality Portland does not win titles so screw it.

 

I know it. I just think the move makes them softer rather than tougher. Not sure that is direction to take.

 

So does eating at Taco Bell but that does not make it a good idea

 

So.... about 1977...

 

You're not a bad troll cmeese.

Take a look at that picture there is no way that many white people could win a title in the NBA today if they could Sterling would have tried.

 

So that takes away from the 1977 title how? You said Portland doesn't win titles. There's a banner in the Rose Garden that suggests otherwise. Why does this have to be a race thing? It's a simple fact. Winning a title has happened in Portland. That is all I'm talking about. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Yes it has happened but not in the modern NBA. Portland may again win a title but it won't be next year.

 

Buhhhhh bye.

 

So that means those Boston Celtics teams from the mid 70's... the New York Knicks, GSW, etc... those just don't count because it's not the modern NBA?

So, when THIS "modern" NBA becomes old hat and a new "Modern" NBA comes in, will this not count? Since there seems to be a "time table" for Modern. Modern is always going to change, so winning a title won't matter 40 years from now, so who cares? That's what I got out of that.

And for the record, no one on this earth (Even mags and KS) are saying we are going to win next year. But there's a lot of years, so...

 

Same amount of white guys as the Spurs.

 

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

 

Let me be more specific we will never win a title with LA as one of our top 2 players.
