    Vic was gone at the end of the season. There's no way he would have signed an extension with us. Pretty much all three were not part of the long term plans.

    Thrill will do great in Denver, he needs an up-tempo team. Wish the People's Champ the best.

    The NBA game was WAY TOO FAST for Claver. He'll go back to Europe and be a solid role player.

    Same for all these guys. They need to be on a team that can let them make and work through mistakes. I see all three as contributors and future NBA rotation players. Our team is on the verge of contention-- this move had to be made.

    Think Mo was our best mid-range player last year, really missing it as of late. Great News.

    I disagree, Vic plays smart ball when given half a chance.

    Stotts uses Nico as a pt forward and CJ as a combo guard, we're fine behind Dame and Blake

    I don't think we need a third PG. CJ could handle those duties for a couple games. While Nic can't shoot he can still setup the offense fine; for court spacing the shooting of the player with the ball is the least important.

    With TRob being shipped out we might want to sign a big man. Kaman and Joel both missed our last game. One thing I'm certain of is there is zero need to add Prince now.

    Irrelevant. Alonzo Gee doesn't take enough 3s to even matter. Other teams don't care if he shoots. Even if Batum is shooting bad this year he's still a threat.

    This. I'd like to see Victor playing for Pop. I think he'd be great with some PT.

    Wow... crazy. I bet TRob has some hurt feelers, but ah well! Go Blazers! Now if we could get something good for Batum! I love him, but not for 12mil.

    Gary Neil would be a nice 3rd point. He's likely to be moved today.

    Pretty much as far back as I can remember the Blazers have had a white guy that was drastically over-valued by the fans. Vic was that guy.
