    If you don't make a move on Mrs. HCP, that's on you.

    Otherwise, we get the same ole', same ole', with a 47 minute Dame on the 2nd of a back-to-back.

    As for who to trade for, I would still want Siakam. But that move should have been made a long time ago, when he was struggling last year, when he and the coach were having problems, when he got injured. Now he is back as good as ever, and we don't have enough assets to get him.

    FAMS! Am I going to hit my 12-18 thru 30? I actually think I may hit it right on the head. Where’s that one guy at who killed me for that prediction? The self appointed forum basketball expert? He slammed me for that prediction. Oh well. #RipCity

    Too busy slamming other posters for their informed takes?

    Portland's hands are tied. No moves until trade deadline unless it's Dame. Nobody wants CJ's contract, unless it's for a worse one. Teams at the deadline may want the expirings of Nurk and Roco depending on their needs for a deep(er) playoff run. This horrible roster construction is 100% Neil Oshley's fault and also his final "fuck you" to us all.

    Unless they are able to pull off some incredible deals, I can't see how this team improves without a total tear down and rebuild.

    Thanks Neil, you incompetent fuck.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Since we get to pick who Portland gets in a trade, I'll go with "Someone else": Giannis.

    @Chris Craig it's not a big deal but you could change the date in the thread title to December 15.

    Only way Nurk is saving this team is by being a part of a trade for a star, let's be honest.
