    They served durian at the training table. I'd throw that too.

    That's it! We're trading you to the...........Kings! You can root for them from now on. We can't condone such behavior. :angry:

    You're welcome to my portion of durian. Just can't get passed the smell.

    It's a lottery pick in terms of talent, more talented than someone like Simons BUT he has way too many personal issues it seems like

    We don't really need another guard. Not unless it's a point guard.

    We're already complaining (rightfully so) that Gary Trent, Jr. isn't getting enough run, I just don't see how there would be any PT for KPJ with the way the roster is currently constructed.

    Doesn’t mean much but Porter Jr grew up with Elleby.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If you can get him for pennies on the dollar, sure. Unless you think Portland is championship-caliber now or you see a clear path to Portland getting to championship-caliber, the Blazers need to take some risks. It's not like they're risking the chemistry of a championship team--if it doesn't work out, cut him. If it does work out, maybe you end up with another talented player on the roster.

    Seattle boy.

    It could be just what he needs - to be back near home.

    No..... We don't need him. I thought with the loss of Nurk, the focus of the team is moving towards big men.
    Besides, so many threads had been created to dump CJ, he is still here. Gary Trent Jr. is the real deal. Give him substantial playing minutes.

    I don't think he's ready to coach an NBA team yet.
