    True, Paul George is one of the few Southern Californians that I would actually want to move to Portland.

    In hindsight, another move that really fucked us was trading Batum. He'd look soooo good on the current roster.

    But yeah, Paul George would look even better.

    If you have no bench,no MVP caliber players and you don't have a top defensive team then you are looking at a 0.500 or below record.

    I still feel like they traded Batum in a doomed attempt to placate LaMarshmallow. Stupid.

    I had to double check that--you are totally right. Yeah, I hate to admit it but I agree with you. He was never going to get paid anywhere near that on our team, and would likely have bailed in free agency.
