    We don't need a non offensive player and Bazemore showed last night he is more than capable of playing defense very well as well as bringing good offense. I'll take Bazemore.

    In your deal, you added nearly 3 more million to our payroll which would cost a significant chunk of change to the luxury tax and then you factor in 2 more years of Pauls contract along with Lillard and McCollum's extension, it just doesn't make sense for a breaking down and aging superstar and a one dimensional player.

    High risk high reward kind of an idea, it’s an interesting idea. I would be willing to entertain this but it would only work if CP3 agreed to come off the bench.

    Our current SF's rebounds/48 last season: 3.2
    Chris Paul's rebounds/48 in the same timespan: 6.9

    I would also trust Paul to be a tougher defender against any wing than Rodney Hood.

    Not sure about the last line, Paul's slowed down a lot... I also think Rodney is a decent defender. I think your idea here is interesting, not sure I'd do it though, but it's thinking out of the box a bit.

    I say that the Blazers should sign Martell Webster to a contract first just so they can include his NBA-ready body in the package for CP3.

    The next time you invoke Martell's name, you may be asked to present your drivers license at the S2 door.

    Just thought of another analogy: we traded for Pippen after he'd "failed" in Houston...

    Pippen wasn't a massive douche.

    This sounds like a James Dolan trade.

    CP3 had negative value on that contract. He duplicates strengths Dame CJ have.

    Terrible idea.

    I'd rather have Iggy. Not sure why we didn't make a move on him.
