    Olshey freezing the roster for years is boring me out of my skull. Here is my non-boring team. All other Blazers are bores to watch, because they play faster than they are capable of playing, and thus make many errors. Keep these 6 and dump the rest.

    Davis
    Napier

    He'd be more effective if he'd slow down. Speed = errors.
    Nurkic

    He runs the pace, and thus has the power to slow it when he wants to look good.
    Lillard

    He's nothing currently, but it may be fun to watch him grow into his potential.
    Collins
    Swanigan

    John Wooden said, "Be quick, but don't hurry," so his teams played with poise. As long as Stotts is here, Blazer games will be comedies of errors, Charlie Chaplin's kamikaze Keystone Kops.

    Good thread idea. But you went conservative. Here are the only players you didn't list. Nothing controversial.

    Meyers Leonard
    Moe Harkless
    Evan Turner
    Jake Layman
    Pat Connaughton

    Keep
    Dame
    Nurk
    Collins
    Aminu
    Ed
    Baldwin IV (cheap contract to see if he can develop into something)

    Don't care
    CJ (trade to upgrade the team)
    Napier (try to trade for value)
    Harkless (decent, but not great)
    Noah
    Swanigan
    Pat

    Remove
    Turner
    Meyers
    Layman

    I'm leaning towards Davis and Collins rendering Nurk uneeded. This is what Nurk needs to do to survive. He needs to feed on it every day. That his job is ready to be taken away at a moments notice. Play like you have a bloody nose !!

    Lillard
    Napier
    Davis
    Collins
    Aminu
    Pat C.
    Vonleh

    and only if the team, city and players can get the Thing 1 and Thing 2 being interchangeable thing figured out......
    CJ McCollum. (dang it I love this guys game, but the chemistry mix needs adjusting and/or growth)

    The rest..... trade away if they can

    I'd like to see a new GM and have Tony Bennett (Virginia's coach) come in as Stotts' replacement. Then transform this team to fit the philosophy of the new regime with defense as the core strength. So, I have no idea which players they would keep, but I would trust their judgment. I am ready for change.
