    25 is to high, 15 is better. If he's hot, sure then play him 25

    I'd take Rajon Rondo before Melo; which one has played on the most winners? And it's not close.

    Rondo is no longer a free agent and didn't sign for the minimum. Id take Gordon Hayward over Derrick Jones, also. Bummer. We suck.

    Yeah, and on a 2-year $15M contract. Gallinari got $61M over 3 years. Millsap got a 1-year $10M contract. I think we have a case of champagne taste on a beer budget around here.

    We own the NBA wine culture bro.....it's all about the grapes! How many NBA players have their own wine? It's why Popovich will eventually coach the Blazers but I quit drinking years ago so there's that......

    The Noah Vonleh honorary starter role. 7 mins to start every half. And if we need a matchup advantage in the post.

    And some quality time coaching on the bench teaching the young guys what's what..his knowledge of the game is vast. I think he was huge in Trent's development last season

    This is as good of a Blazers lineup as i can remember. Very good to Great starters, and Finally! Some depth with a lot of very good role players off the bench. Health is what this team needs to maintain for a serious chance at a run. Go Blazers!!

    Do you really think Stotts would do that to Melo? And do you think Melo would even be good in that role?

    Stotts should do it, and Melo would be great in it if he would accept it. IMO.

    He was great in bursts last year. The problem was letting him freestyle with his jab steps when Dame was on the floor.

    Yeah, I'm not saying should, I'm saying would. We've watched Stotts for 8 years.

    It's definitely one of my fears. The rotations are gonna be tricky. Guys will have to believe into sacrificing this year, and Terry has to hold guys accountable-- think it will be a great challenge for Dame/CJ/Nurk's leadership.
