    I have a dream that one day the Blazers will recall Moses Brown....

    I have a dream that one day the Blazers will change up their defensive scheme....

    I have a dream that one day the Blazers will win a game.....

    Finally the black and red jerseys. I’ve missed them.

    I also wouldn’t be surprised if Moses got called up and played in this one. Need the bodies, especially down low.

    I couldn't vote in the poll; not enough info yet. If trade was made to save enough money so that Jody ok's a deal for a very good player, then I give it an A If made just to save money, I give it an F

    They've needed size up front for quite a while now. Not sure what is taking so long. Maybe Stotts is afraid it will affect his winning percentage and asked Neil to leave him in the G-League.

    No, the trade can't be officially approved by the NBA until Tuesday, January 21st at the earliest because of Gabriel's contract situation.

    it may not be that particular either/or situation...it might be that the either was: this is the best they could do; and the or was: do nothing

    IMO, people have been overrating the value of Portland's 2 big expiring contracts, but there's still time to trade Whiteside and get two 2nd round picks back to replace the one they traded yesterday. That could be an 'either'. The 'or' could be that people have been over-estimating Jody Allen's willingness to pay gobs and gobs of salary and tax, this year and next. I mean, since it became clear what direction this season was headed, when was the last time she showed up for a game?

    It was cool watching Mark Cuban run out on the court and hug Luka in the fourth quarter after he made that dagger three to pretty much ice the game. I wish the Blazers had an owner that well connected to the team. Yes i know it's a curse as well as a blessing but i would like to see that.

    If Gary, Dame, and Mario are questionable, does that mean our line up could be Simons/Melo/Hoard/Little/Whiteside with Moses our only bench player?
