    do you think the Blazers would be more willing to sacrifice young talent for older veterans to help shape the team? Or is it just the thing to do nowadays and some people are just too blind to see it because we are so focused on the Blazers, the team that we love?

    Different era, different management, different circumstances.

    Do you think if the Blazers hadn't drafted Bowie, they wouldn't have drafted Alaa Abdelnaby?

    No, doubt that deal has any bearing at all on their decision making.

    Do you think that if the Shawn Kemp trade hadn't happened, the Blazers would be more willing to trade for Kevin Love?

    :dunno:

    If we hadnt lost the coinflip for Hakeem would we have 9 or 10 banners hanging from the rafters and would Jordan have only 1 ring?

    No, but we might have hired Darryl Strawberry to teach nutrition and Ed Houben to teach our players family values.

    Well if we would have kept Brian Grant and not have traded for Shawn Kemp just maybe this would have turned out totally different. I think that was the real turning point for this franchise.

    So that's a yes? They would be trading for Love now if they hadn't traded for Kemp back then?

    If that Moses Malone trade never happened,

    do you think the Blazers would be more willing to sacrifice young talent for older veterans to help shape the team? Or is it just the thing to do nowadays and some people are just too blind to see it because we are so focused on the Blazers, the team that we love?

    If we lost the revolutionary war would we be watching rugby instead of basketball? Would the NBA logo be a picture of Joel Freeland?
