    Still valuable in trade right up until draft day, I just think hold on to pick until the deadline at least

    Well I put him third on my list of dudes. I would rather have Gerald green.

    IMO its foolhardy to pinpoint a need this early, the blazers needs could change drastically in the next month and a half. Wilson chandler (or another of his ilk) might get bought out, CJ might step up, someone might get injured (knock on wood), hell, the Sixer's traded hawes and Evan turner for some 2nds at the deadline last year

    I don't see Olshey bringing on a contract that goes into next year (unless of course we send out a contract the same or larger that goes into next year or beyond). Cap plan is in full effect right now.

    Another line of thinking would be to trade for a guy with more years and just resign everyone

    Certainly an option just not one I see any hint that Olshey wants.

    I dont think there will be a hint, just a sudden strike like a cobra on Richard Sherman's adderal

    I would suspect that if the player we're trading for fits the team then the cap plan could go out the window. The point of any move is to get better - if we can do that now, then why not? Isn't a guaranteed move better than potentially coming up empty this summer?

    LOL! Yeah, that sounds right to me as well; Neil doesn't seem to operate in the Woj model of pre-announcing deals.

    It should go without saying that if there is a no-brainer deal that we would do it. Apparently there isn't one. At least yet.

    Before the injury Stotts was asked by MB if he viewed CJ as a 6th man - Stotts said that MB was selling CJ short and that he viewed him as a starting SG down the road.

    Preparing for a Wes departure?

    Here's a question... given the way we play Wes in the offense, could you install Crabbe in Wes's position?

    Wes is a career 40% from three with a legit post game, Crabbe would be a ginormous downgrade.

    Crabbe is a career 39.4% from three (Matthews is 39.5%) and is a legit 6-6.

    Wessy has proven it for years, Crabbe shouldnt be in the same book let alone sentence as far as being an NBA starter
