    What should the Blazers do at the deadline (or before). Should they trade one of Hood, Collins, Simons, or Trent...or more than one of them? Wait for a buyout and sign Aldridge. Trade for Tucker? Trade for someone else. Sign Cousins? Sign someone else? Do nothing?

    I'm pretty sure Rodney Hood and Zach Collins would be on the block for contract reasons and Trent would be a sell high candidate on the market...I'd keep Simons around on the cheap and avoid paying big bucks to Trent...we need an Andre Miller type backup pt guard and a 3 and D wing more than anything with Nurk and Harry coming back. I read today that Carmelo is generating some interest around the league and in the running for the 6man award this season

    Id package Nurk & CJ for a scoring wing 3/4 and a younger more legit 5. Maybe DJ for a bonified legit PG.
    If we could get a Chris Middleton that would work.

    no trade Cj eh?
    I chose lma. Time heals and as long as long as he understands (i believe he will) that he is a role player ala mellow. No starting spot, no guaranteed anything. I think we will see a new lma mentality wise. Why? Dame.

    but hey i gotta ask. Why yous tryin to confuse me? Elicidide what? Could you please expand on what that means exactly please??

    Just trade Lillard. In another couple years his value might start to go down a bit.

    It’s so sad to watch Dame drag this sorry excuse for a team every night.

    9 years ago, just before the deadline, the Blazers didn't have a GM, they fired the coach, and they traded for the pick that netted Lillard. Blazers should do something like that again

    Fire the coach. That would be more beneficial to the team than any realistic trade scenario.

    Trade for a two way all-star who is above average height or add a legit wing on a good contract we can keep long term.

    No more giving up draft picks for average players. 1 all-star and 10 average players instead of 9 won't make a significant difference.
