    Barkley just said Collins is going to be “a star for the next 10-15 years.” Said Nurk is All Star. Praised Trent too.

    And this is an example of why I can't take Barkley seriously.

    Trent is going to get a big contract. We should look to dump cj.

    Nice win tonight. I think the biggest thing i have noticed in the first few games is our inability to finish down low. If our big's could finish a little better down low these games would not be so close

    things are gonna get tight with hood and Ariza back. But we need those guys. CJ? Not so much, but I’m not sure who he’d bring back in a trade.

    What can he do when CJ has worst game in about 2 years? Zach has been trash tonight so many turnovers and missed layups. Nurk is a beast but he misses too many bunnies. Melo also had bad shooting night and whiteside was total crap also. Dame and trent jr ballin

    Denver is deep. One of those games where the bench brought some energy when the starters were needing rest for the Nuggets. Blazers didn't fold under pressure and answered the call.

    Nice win! One they needed.

    CJ has a bad game and there is a chorus of "Trade CJ!!!" posts.

    I am not opposed to trading him if we can get an incredible deal but I have my doubts we can get similar skill in return. Sure he had an off night tonight but he is still a great player.

    Is Gary Trent a shooter in college or just a defensive stopper?

    I think he was known for his shooting and not for his defense. I think he has focused on defense and it shows. He could always shoot but he is really coming in to his own.

    I want to see what the three of them can do with Nurk and Collins. Trent still has another year on his contract.
    Why not try to keep them both?
