    He won't help them win any playoff series, and I whole heartidly disagree about Simons.

    But grass is always greener.

    Looking at Otto Porter's stats, I see that he's a shooter, but not a dribbler. He needs to be set up. The Stotts non-passing offense might be the worst place in the league for Porter. (See Derrick Jones, Jr.)

    Jason Quick articles are all either concoctions of praise for some player using Boy Scout morality (which is why he fit into the anti-Sheed era so well), or as a mouthpiece to please and parrot whoever the current GM is.

    I don't think there's anyone gettable that would (clearly) help them win any playoff series.

    We dumped LaRue Martin and Wally Walker onto the Sonics, and Georgios Printezis and Grant Jarrett onto the Thunder.

    I remember when the ruined Martin came to the Sonics. Coach Bill Russell said that if he hadn't been picked so high, he'd have gotten more time to develop in the NBA.

    Yup. Dude is toast. His agent might quit on him too.

    (Of course, a problem with this is that we lose one of the targets of the lobs. But Nas can take over.)

    How does Rubio fit if you don't move CJ/Trent/or Ant.

    Where did he say that?

    Ariza has technically been on Houston, Detroit, and OKC's team since leaving PDX. He should be able to return as a UFA if cut.

    meyers been getting loose with the mouth the last couple of years and it finally cost him. Should’ve been the shy nice guy he pretended to be while he was in Portland.

    Ariza stil likes Blazers posts on Instagram, and he posted something about Dame on his story some days ago. Maybe he wants to come back, who knows?

    of the realistic options, in terms of signings, I think Ariza would be the most helpful. Trades are another matter, and maybe there's a big surprise in the buyout market

    Michael Porter Jr might be on the block. He's young and has that thing called "Potential" and you know, the Blazers like that!

    Huh? He brought in Nurkic, Kanter, and Whiteside via trade the last handful of seasons.

    Kanter was waived by NYK and then signed with Portland.
