    I just wonder if thats enough impact from the bench bigs. But either way we would have flex. I like it.

    Your right, the Bulls are good on wings. They need a big which we can do, or a back-up PG which we can not do. I like your trade idea better than mine.

    My boss just sent me this....

    "
    Cleveland is entertaining offers for Timofey Mosgov and the Blazers still have 13 million in cap space.


    He could beef up our front court rotation !"

    I would like Mozgov. Young and fits the need!

    Love to POR
    Leonard and Henderson to BKN
    Thad Young to CLE

    Any interest?

    CLE gets its true small ball 4 while saving $, BK saves some $, and we get an undervalued star.

    I don't see it happening (surely the Nets can get more), but if it did, I don't see (outside an irrational hatred of Love) how any Blazer fan could be unhappy with a deal like that.

    Send BK Noah, Hark, or future picks from CLE to entice em? I dunno... I don't think that value is too far of.

    I hate Love, but the floor geometry on offense with Dame-CJ-Love can create some serious problems for defenses. And I trust Terry to maximize Love's skills way more than Blatt has been able to.

    That SF/C to fit along with the trio have to be lockdown defenders/rim protectors though.

    Yep. Find a way to get Whiteside sent up here from Miami along with getting Love, and we have a contender.

    Sounds good to me! And I'm one of the few who hasn't completely given up on Meyers. I'd probably include Ed Davis over Noah, if needed. And that's weird for me to type that - I like Ed and I'm not on the Vonleh train. But Vonleh could be a better defender than Ed within the next year or two, and he won't miss his free throws. I also like that he's finally shooting. He still has a poor touch around the basket, but is showing that he can shoot the J.

    Cleveland would look like idiots if they dumped Love. The owner has appeared this way too much in the press lately. They won't trade Love... which I'm totally OK with.

    Frankly, Bron would look like an idiot, too.

    If KLove played on the Blazers he would easily be a fan favorite.

    Toss Alexander and/or Montero in to make it happen.

    Get Whiteside at center and keep Aminu at SF and thats it!

    Dame/ Frazier
    CJ/Crabbe
    Aminu/Harkless
    Love/Vonleh
    Whiteside/Plumlee


    I think that's really really solid!

    Love has been that.

    I'm one of those guys who used to argue Love was fools gold, overrated, stat padder, etc. (Because he was.) At this point though, I think he'd be very useful on this Blazers team, and I'd welcome him. That is if we don't have to break up our back court to get him.

    Regardless of whether or not we get Love, we can, and should offer Whiteside a max contract this off-season. He is most certainly not going to be playing for the Heat, who are trying to make a run at Durant and don't even have Whiteside's bird rights.
