    Pretty much every team has a history of bringing in some high profile vets on their last legs. The lakers use to be big on that as they brought in Malone and Payton only to have it fail and then they brought in Steve Nash for it to fail as well. The list can go on and on.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Between Jamaal Magloire and Dale Davis, Portland really cleaned up on Eastern Conference "All-Stars."

    But those are the ONLY kind of stars Portland gets in trades or free agent acquisitions. The Lakers also got Shaq in his prime and Anthony Davis in his prime. That never happens in Portland.

    I admit it, I thought the Dale Davis trade was a great one at the time. Man, did he fall off the cliff after he got to Portland. Horrible trade.

    My post was on topic of what your thread was about as it wasn't about signing superstar free agents.

    They really ought to be shot or put in a petting zoo, that would be the humane thing to do.
