    Roy would be too redundant IMO. We'd have 3 players that like to play ISO ball in the half court.

    Yep, perfect for today's NBA in general.
    Great defender at the paint, great shooter and he wouldn't have to be the leader.

    Way wrong. If Dame really does push his teammates then Clyde is the ONLY answer.

    Total agreement. However, when talking about an addition to the current roster I think position has to come into play. Maybe I'm too afflicted with Nurk Fever, but it seems to me that - for today's game - we have C well enough covered. And I want to see the continued development of Nurk! I think the bigger upgrade would be Pippen or Sheed at the F spots. I'm a big fan of Harkless, and not really a fan of Vonleh, so I think Sheed over Vonleh might be more bang-for-your-buck than Pippen over Harkless. Buuuuut, Pippen was just such a masterful player that I'll play him at PF. He could easily guard today's "P"Fs - yes, that P is in quotations cos there ain't no POWER in the position these days!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Prime Sheed isn't the greatest talent to play for the Blazers, but I agree about what an outstanding fit he'd make. If it were legal within the rules to take a player who's prime wasn't with the Blazers, then I'd choose Pippen or Sabonis. The greatest talent as a Blazer was Bill Walton, but that "prime" was so short. Drexler was probably the best combination of talent as a Blazer and normal-length prime.

    If it were for just one season, I'd take Walton. Yes, we have Nurkic, but I think Walton could excel as a high post player, allowing Nurkic to play in the low post. If it was for multiple seasons, I'd take Rasheed Wallace. Perfect fit for the era, fills the team's biggest hole in the starting lineup and a natural fit next to Nurkic.

    Allen Crabbe would have been a great troll answer.

    Dame has no first hand knowledge of players like Walton and prime Sabonis. Roy was a logical choice for him.

    Would give us that bad boy back but not a roster full of them. We would be instant contenders.

    would Taurean Green's time with the Blazers be considered his prime? Asking for a friend

    I'd say Rod Strickland...who was one of the most underrated Blazers ever

    How do stories like this become allowed. Really. Blazers edge has the word Blazers in it. Wouldnt the Blazers staff not care for this type of potential locker room drama bs this fake shit could ignite?
    why wouldn't the Blazers put a stop to this with a quickness considering how they have been fairly controlling of the media and their message in the past?
