    We'll have to wait until the roster is finalized for that to be determined!

    Bullshit. I'd rather have Winslow but I highly doubt Okafor will be a bust. His offensive game is WAY too good

    There is that. Given their longtime fandom, I am sure they will be devastated.

    RoLo if he comes back. I will hate that.

    In a vacuum, it sucks. But I'll reserve final judgement after I see how Olshey's plan unfolds.

    He's an NCAA champ that shot something like 65% on his field goals. Nice post up player. His only questions are on his motor. I'm not super high on him, but he's a dude that has low risk IMHO.

    When are we going to get trolled? Just waiting for whoever lands LMA (if he leaves) to start invading the board. Should be fun.

    Watch... He will be much like the Okafor we were blessed with 10 years ago.

    He plays shitty defense, can't hit free throws and doesn't have the mental capacity to be a legit star

    I don't know if I could ever hate Rolo. I don't want him back, but I really enjoy him - he's about as Portland as an NBA player can be.

    Don't care. He got destroyed by any halfway decent big man down the stretch.

    Who was the last center that had his passing, vision, footwork, post moves and BBIQ? He would be a top 3 center from day one on his post moves alone. From an offensive standpoint. Yeah he doesn't play D and gets in foul trouble but not a bust

    Not becoming a star doesn't mean bust IMO.

    Yeah, like I said - I don't want to re-sign him.

    I disagree. A #2 pick should be an all star at least

    I can tell you the real reason why LA might leave:

    He's superstitious.

    Sure, all of you are bitching about LMA leaving but none of you went to the rally to have him stay.

    I love Rolo. And I want him back. Backing up Hibbert, or Cousins, or someone better than him.

    :cheers:

    I held my own rally on my deck with a bottle of brandy and a flock of hummingbirds...they were really supportive
