    Neither is Dame. If the definition is winning a championship, that is. Or even a WCF.

    Clearly depends on what's going out. If we shed bad contracts, and improve the team, it's hard to say no. But I'd just prefer some defense, since that is currently, IMO, the team's biggest playoff weakness.

    Isn't it: "Cowboy hats are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later, every asshole's got one."

    No wait, that's not it. But I'm pretty sure it's something like that....

    Would you guys give up all three picks if it meant Isaac?

    This thread is supposed to be about the Blazers trading for a disgruntled star player in Carmelo Anthony.

    Same. I think Isaac is the target.

    I definitely hope the blazers trade up if there is a player they are targeting. Be bold.

    Everyone has their own preference... I have the same yuck reaction to Isaac... at the end of the day tho I trust whoever Neil drafts... he has a good eye for young talent.

    At the end of the day, I trust the Blazers statistical analytics nerd guy. Seen him in photos, don't know his name.

    Yes. As is the case with most rookies, he may not help us a lot next year, but he certainly would be a nice building block for 2-3 years down the road.

    But my guess is that he's going within the first 6 picks. I doubt anyone in the top 6 would go for that deal. We might have to sweeten the deal and toss in Leonard. :)

    It really is odd how quiet it is with Markkanen.

    Has he even had one pre-draft workout with anyone? I haven't heard anything.

    Markkanan is the real deal... he is the best shooter in the draft and his shot is unblockable. The problem is people here automatically discount him because of Meyers... but one has nothing to do with the other. This guy will be the next Dirk. Mark my words.

    I read really good things about him....most compared him to a young Dirk so I can see how Stotts would like a guy like him. I haven't seen him play though.

    He is perfect for Stotts system... will open up the paint for Nurkic to beast on people, and driving lanes for Dame and CJ...
