    It's not about getting more talent. It's about defensive schemes and offensive sets. You know... things a head coach are supposed to implement. I think Melo will look even worse without legit coaching.

    It’s like other teams are begging for us to beat them and we’re just like “nah, no thanks, we’ll continue to suck”.

    the worst part is at some point we’re gonna get everyone healthy and go on a run to end .500 or something. Then go into next season fixing none of the inherent flaws in the team/org. I just want to see what we could do with a Brad Stevens or Nick Nurse or someone. Just a new voice in the locker room.

    The ironic part about this post is that CJ is so overpaid we couldn't afford to keep Aminu.

    No Nurk. No Collins. No chance.

    So we're comparing an incomplete team to one that had the benefit of trades and the buyout market?

    This team is loaded with talent. Clearly teams are blowing up the Blazers' phone lines to obtain Tolliver, Mario, Whiteside, Baze, and Gasol (all of Olshey's off-season additions). Melo is also clearly a huge asset as well given no team would touch him for a year.

    I really don't like Olshey; I really don't like CJ; Bazemore & Whiteside have been disappointing & irritating; Tolliver and Hezonja suck; and I'm not a fan of Stotts. But they could be 5-37 and I'd still tune-in....Blazer fan here

    I know you're being sarcastic but Tolliver, Mario, and Gasol aren't eligible to be traded for 4 more weeks still so even if there was interest in them there is no way to trade them until December 15th.

    Before you say "yeah right", Olshey traded Stauskas and Baldwin along with a couple 2nd round picks for Hood last season. Something similar can still happen this year.

    Question... do you play Dame against a non winnable game against the Bucks? We got blown out last year by 40+ with Nurk playing.

    If his back is fine, yes you play him.

    If he's sore at all you sit him out.

    The real thing that needs to happen though is that Dame shouldn't be playing more than 35 minutes a game and there should be games (See the Rockets game) where Stotts just doesn't bring him back in.

    Game 14 and we are at
    "Total Rebuild"
    Someone on this board actually gave me a hard time for predicting this.
    Que up the "It's not that they are losing...." "It's the WAY they are losing"

    Seriously i could not have called this any more exact.
