    Roy over Drexler is a complete joke

    Drexler was way better than Roy ever was.

    Dame/Drexler/Pippen/Sheed/Walton is indisputable.

    Pippen didn't contribute as much to the organization as Kersey and Sheed isn't as important historically as Lucas (and I love Sheed). So I'd say yours just like the rest of ours is disputable.

    I wasn't really listing hierarchy within positions. That said...Porter made it to two finals and another WCF, and played 10 years here. Porter over Dame at the moment is not unreasonable.

    Yeah, and if Dame was in Porters spot we'd have more than one championship.

    Off-Topic, but I kinda like the squad we'd have with all NW-grown players.

    Isaiah Thomas / Aaron Brooks
    Avery Bradley / Joe Harris
    Klay Thompson / Jamal Crawford
    Kevin Love / Marvin Williams
    Terrence Jones / Spencer Hawes

    If only we had a solid C. Am I missing anyone?

    What's that old saying about ifs, buts, candy, and nuts? Yeah...that applies here.

    It's a tough call...one could almost put the 77 team on the list across the board....I loved Strickland and Sabas together...Strickland may have been the most talented point guard we've ever had...but in the end
    Dame
    Clyde
    Kersey
    Lucas
    Walton

    Here's my list of the top 25 all time Blazers.

    upload_2018-8-13_22-5-14.png

    I think Lillard passed Porter this year, especially with earning 1st team all-nba.

    Lucas I may have ranked a bit high, but damn, the memories I have as a kid with him and Walton winning the championship are tough to forget.

    Give Dame and CJ a few more years, and I think both will climb a bit higher. I certainly appreciate having a couple of guys on the team I consider franchise players that seem to be quality individuals. I like rooting for these guys.

    People, Mt Rushmore is 4 people. This isn't supposed to be a greatest starting lineup thread. You are supposed to list who would be your top 4 players at each position.

    No it doesn't because Roy only played 4 1/2 seasons for us, which is why he over Clyde is asinine
