    cool but it doesn't include the cost of replacing a coach that needs to be paid off and hiring a new one or replacing the disgruntled players that will want out once he gets in the locker room

    God this guy is such a cancer. Every team he touches rumors like this pop up. Clearly the problem is Dwight. Kobe was right about this idiot

    I hate this, why would you want to trade for an aging center with bad knees who has always relies on his athletic ability to e as good as he "WAS"? ridiculous

    I imagine he's pining for his being the man role in Orlando...might want a homecoming parade and shit now that Van Gundy is gone. If I were Houston I'd trade him for Vucevic in a heartbeat

    Open a window. We lose no real talent that we'll miss all that much. Yeah, Dwight's knees are a gamble and we have a bad history, but at a minimum he'll probably make us a Playoff team. Only takes 7 or 8 million off our cap room and with the cap goin

    Lineup doesn't change all that much, although it just moves Plumlee to backup Center which may be perfect. We'll definitely lose our draft pick though. Just depends if you want to crack open a window to contending.

    Dame, Frazier
    CJ, Harkless
    Aminu, Crabbe
    Vonleh, Davis
    Dwight, Plumlee

    just a real bad idea and he can opt out I believe this summer, he's an ahole and cancer, I can't think of a much worse idea

    Again, we lose nothing, except maybe a draft pick but i guess we can tank hard and try to luck into a guy we want.

    However, the risk/reward ratio is nice. Kaman? Hendo? Legend? all replaceable and likely gone anyway.

    so maybe we get to 8th seed and playoffs, lose our draft pick and then he opts out and leaves? Lets spend time and effort building a team, not take a partial year chance of making the playoffs and losing our pick

    So you're firmly in pure tank mode, right? That's the only real option, you want to see the Blazers get a top 3 pick or so, which I'm not really against either.

    I mean I am too, but I kind of also believe in Olshey's ability to put a contender together quickly.

    To me, it depends on Olshey's vision and what else he has planned. I have faith in Neil, and a move like this really wouldn't upset me.

    The term "Who cares" applies here.
