    I'd rather see news on the main page than sift through that big thread of ideas and dreaming trying to find actual news.

    For sure. This was Blazer related. No sense in having it buried.

    Checks the cap space...

    Yeah there really wasn't anyone available and Whiteside wouldn't have made any difference.

    Especially since he, Whiteside, claimed the blazers had his #. He's desperate, and making shit up

    To look like people wanted his services, so it looks like he made the decision to forgo the extra $ for a ring m

    15.5/13.5/2.9 seems pretty good to me.

    Even his Kings numbers playing half the time aren't bad.

    This thread started with a link to a published article. I would prefer to see those on the front page rather than just mixed in with forum opinions. But it's fine for it to be both places, IMO.

    Seems like cheap insurance for injury-prone Nurk.

    I'd rather have Milsap or Ed Davis though...I don't remember a letter to the fans from Hassan when he left but he probably felt like we dumped him like a one night stand....he'll be a good fit behind Gobert

    "Wanted him to re-sign" doesn't necessarily mean "made him an offer."

    Just sayin'.

    I appreciate threads like this. I hate sifting through massive threads for news like this. Maybe we could have a thread that’s just news and no opinions?

    Some of Olshey's best moves were the ones where the player or another team saved us from Neil's offer. I'd rather give Zeller a shot.

    We're still running back a roster type that is almost never a contender, so these end of the bench moves aren't that meaningful either way.

    Have some faith. IMO health will be a huge deciding factor. From what i read Billups will be a huge upgrade at the coaching position though I'm not sure coaching will have as much effect as many have tried to assume. I'm watching summer league a bit. Seems like Faried plus Zeller can backup Nurk fairly well. They might need another backup 7 footer?
    If the team can keep Little healthy and Simons has progressed at all, the addition of McLemore and Snell with the continued mix of Rocco and Powell they could really gel and make a decent run. Maybe not Championship but they could contend?
    You gotta figure a 9 to 10 man max rotation. The Blazers have the pieces to score and play decent defense. All the rest of the guys on the team are going to be practice bodies or garbage time players with the exception of Jones jr whom I'm not sure what is going to happen with? DJJ is my one question mark? Can Chauncey Billups put this guy to good use or will they trade him before the deadline?

    I'm down with anyone having faith this is a contending team, but I'm not there.

    I think this is a 1st/2nd round roster, which is optimistic given the size/length of our best players.
