    A 4-game homestand for Portland starts right now, but what's peculiar is that it will last for 2 whole weeks, and during the middle of this homestand, there will be nearly one week of no games for the Blazers to play. I guess this will give this team plenty of rest and time to heal up.

    First up during the homestand is the Atlanta Hawks, another weak Eastern team for the Blazers to beat up on. If the Blazers stay focused and don't slack off, they should get this win.

    Attention will paid to the Collins vs. Collins matchup. Both players are the same age, were taken in the 2017 draft, and play the same position, but Zach was taken 9 picks before John. Did Portland pick the correct Collins?

    Also, we will get our first look at Trae Young (who was the 5th pick in the 2018 NBA draft). He was the player that was traded for future R.O.Y, Luka Doncic. Pre draft, Young was getting comparisons to Steph Curry. Right now, his play level is not even close to Doncic, much less Steph, but you can say this of most rookies.

    And is Vince Carter trying to play for all 30 teams? Why is he on a rebuilding team like the Hawks? I am guessing that they were one of the few teams that offered him money.

    Jake just scored 20 points last game, the 2nd time he's done so in the past 4 games. I want to see how he follows up that kind of performance.

    This would be a good time to pull a trade with the Hawks if we’re going after Prince. Just have him switch jerseys right before tip-off .

    Huh? John Collins, Trae Young, Jeremy Lin, Kent Bazemore, ect. are bigger names than anyone who played against us for the Suns outside of Booker.

    Meh, I disagree. Its not as bad as Pheonix IMO. Bembry has been ballin this year and was a star at St. John's. Spellman was a starter on a national championship winning team at Villanova last year. Adams (and maybe Hamilton) are a two-way guys, so I wouldnt count them.

    What would you do if we got all three Carmelo Anthony, Jeremy Lin and Taurean Prince by trade deadline?
