After benching Vonleh Portland became a 53 win team.

Actually, after 15-24 start, we were 29-14. With and without Vonleh, we played like a 55 win team for more than half the season.

 

Let the "perfect scenario..." happen! Let's become... Hawks (the 1 that ACTUALLY wins!) West! I'd love that too; don't think it can happen either BUT... Neil is Neil...

 

I like/have liked Aminu, he's perfect to have around especially next season; whichever sf or pf we majorly upgrade, Aminu will simply shift to the other & can backup either when needed. I really want him to hone that 3pt shot to become a guy that you wouldn't even think about leaving open (IMO very doable ); other than this, he really doesn't have to improve/do anything more & I'm happy (improvements should/will come from others)

 

Ideal pipedream scenario: Durant
Still a pipedream, but a little less so: Horford and Milsap
High side of optimism: Horford or Milsap
Realistic get: Dwight Howard (if he promises to pick and roll)
Near certainty: Current roster improves with playoff experience and the natural progress that comes with having the 3rd youngest team
