    Something that the impatient fans do not seem to be getting is the Blazers do not have many assets at the disposal so it makes deals like getting a Aaron Gordan very hard but i guess some like to live in there own little fairy tale land where trades happen like they do in NBA 2k.

    However i would be surprised if they do nothing cause i thought bringing in a guy like a Jevale Mcgee type player was possible to shore up area's of need.

    But maybe he is a better fit? I don't know, because we need a big guard to make up for some deficiencies.

    Markkanen is a center right? That makes no sense to me.

    Lauri is averaging 18 and 6 on 40% shooting from 3 in just 30 minutes per game. Think of the wide-open looks he would get in this offense. He's also just 23 years old. I love GTJ but Lauri would start in Portland, GT would be a 6th man.

    I'm not sure a Trent for Markkanen swap significantly downgrades the Blazer defense

    Trent, Ant, Nas, DJ, a simple phone call and three first round picks available, Hood's expiring contract we have assets we just have a complacent GM.

    He's 7'0. Can he actually defend fours?

    He can’t defend anything, so who cares. Fits right in

    How do you know we don't have the assets to get Gordon? We don't know what the Magic are asking for.

    Don't you just love that Neil's response to having the worst defense in the league is to try to go out and get a guy that doesn't play defense?

    This organization is a joke when led by stotts and neil. Trade dame, gut the team start over. Why would anyone at his level see dame and cj as a path to real success?

    Jokic et al will destroy portland. Hello play in.

    Yikes, don't go crazy. We might be able to get rid of the other two guys that have been with the team for nine years instead of Dame.
