    A trade? I've got no idea. It does't really matter. I guess Ezeli Is as good as anybody out there. Probably have to overpay him though.

    So you want to be in the upper right hand corner, and lower left sucks. Look at where Leonard is.

    I'm not high on Plumlee...as your article said, the only thing he really brings to the table is passing, which is not high on the priority list for what you want in your center. He's simply a decent backup. And Ed Davis is a good small ball center but we could probably use a bigger presence inside.

    I think Portland may regret trading RHJ for Plumlee.

    Whelp... he is unrestricted... AND he's ~32:blink: IF he came to Portland... we could call him "Zsa Zsa Patchouli!":dunno:

    I guess... when u can't get all the good looking dudes together (i.e. your Parsons, Dames, etc.)... you've got to immediately start scooping the sludge from the bottom.:smiley-muha:

    what?? I hope someone is feeding Quick BS. Why would we go after Paculia? Hes' not really a force on offense or defense. Just a fill in off the bench.

    OK, somebody has to do it; let's look at the centers we have been interested in and missed so far:
    1. Whiteside
    2. Horford (apparently not interested in us)
    3. Mahimni (might have got him if we had shown immediate interest instead of chasing a Whiteside who was apparently using us)
    4. Pau Gasol
    5. Ezeli
    6. might have been interested in Cole Aldrich but lost him while dillying around with Gasol.
    7. And here are with someone we were never really interested in but the only one we can now afford, Mr. ZaZa Pachulia!
    With ZaZa we have a guy who is not only too old to be a future asset but not really even good enough to make much difference now.

    Aren't there a couple young guys that we could sign cheap and hope they develop into something? Is Olshey making the same mistake he made when he acquired Affalo; thinking we just need a small boost to be a contender?
