    I wouldn't mind seeing what NICs value is worth. Also, A lot of people might frown upon this but I think Wes could be expendable.

    With the emergence of CJ and If you can sign Afflalo, it makes Wes expendable. What could a package of Nic and Wes and change bring you or even a Nic and CJ and change bring you?

    Wes is expendable? Since when? Has anyone seen how horrific we are on defense since he went down? If anything, it makes Matthews that much more valuable.

    Most Blazersfans won't even want to think about it.

    The odds are that he will come back a step slower. A torn achilles is a significant injury.

    Since it is unlikely Memphis beats GSW tomorrow night, they will drop below Houston and it is very likely that we will play the Rockets in the first round. Dammit.

    What he does is have counters ready when he's wrong.

    While I don't think any first round series will be a sweep outside of maybe GSW-NOP, he does make some good points. Who would they put on Lillard and Aldridge?

    However what he did not mention is who do we put on Harden? Wes was huge against the rockets just because of his defense. Don't forget he sealed game 4 with an end of game steal. I'm sorry but there's no way CJ can guard James "The Fish" Harden, he will be fouled out in 2 quarters or less.

    After the GS game. someone said Meyers Leonard would do amazingly vs Curry because of the height advantage.
    If that's the case, Harden going to be shut down by Nards.

    I can't imagine OKC dealing with Portland. I agree with the one poster as frustrating as Nic (AND HE IS) I can't think of too many guys out there aside from Durant who could be had or we would want. Maybe deal him for a draft pick who can be slotted into the three position.

    Or maybe give him one more year to see if maturity finally kicks in.

    Nah we can create offense in Stotts scheme so why trade for a player who would make us better on O but much much worse on D. Also his health scares the crap out of me.
