    This is our best trade available w/o giving up CJ. I understand everybody is trigger happy and irrational after our recent slide, but trading a superstar for a superstar is only going to give us a boost short term. Eventually we will find ourselves in the 5-7 slot, killing dames prime in mediocrity. Noel fits our curve and can be attained on the cheap, while unloading one of our two toxic contracts that we have log jamming our wing positions. I'm scared that Noel will continue to be injury prone and never live up to his potential, but this is a gamble that we have to take. He is young, athletic, and has all of the tools we lack in out interior defense. Harkless is s perfect example of giving playing time to a player with incredible potential can pay off. Harkless already is looking as though he may be our third leg and Noel could be the final piece that gives us balance and shores up our interior deficiencies. Make it happen Neal

    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    I'm liking the trade as speculated. Maybe Noel's defense can rub off on Leonard.

    I didn't want to say anything until after Christmas but @HCP has been traded to the Utah Jazz for a bag of stale donuts.

    Once the players hear this good news I'm sure the Blazers will go on a huge win streak.

    If we trade Crabbe I see us acquiring another wing, maybe in the same deal (Covington? Hendo?)

    Other options:

    Ben Mclemore
    Mario Hezonja (not a fan but he's prob available)
    Tony Allen

    He told them at half time that we're bringing back Kim Hughes. That's why they played so much better in the second half. Hughes then floated the erroneous Philly trade rumor which will later turn out to be correct, leading to his once again being fired.
