    If they were going to give up CJ, they should have gotten Jimmy Butler.

    I think it's lazy to suggest trading a player without offering some realistic ideas.

    Honest question. What should be the Blazers expectations?

    Our schedule says we'll get off to a great start. 10 of 11 at home after the short road trip?

    If you're having to ask, then the expectations are reasonable.

    We might be. It's too hard to tell. We have two All-Star caliber players and when Nurk is healthy, we're a pretty damn good team. It's just hard to predict because Nurk was hurt at the end. We also lost Crabbe and we have two rookies that might be a big part of our team this year. A lot of variables.

    Agreed. My thing is, I NEVER expect much from rookies. Just never have been able to. Seen too many just fade away. And i think we will miss what AC brought us. Biggest thing I've said before is not us, but the OTHER teams out west. I think there has been such an infusion of talent, that we can't help but lose a few more games than expected.

    It's so sweet how protective you all are of these millionaires, who have no idea who most of you are.
