    This was a good start but the Blazers still have more moves and in my opinion MUST use the Bledsoe contract for something but if i was to give this a grade RIGHT now ---

    B plus

    No doubt it’s a albatross lol. But when he plays, he’s still very productive, 16ppg and almost 20ppg the year before that.

    I guess it all depends on if you feel like Nas can start next to Grant. Personally, I would want to see him starting over trading #7 for OG.

    If your bench was, say,
    Hart/Hayward/Watford + #7 and #13 off the bench, then I’m happy to overpay him for a year while Nas is still on the last his rookie contract, then trade him next year if need be when he only has one year $30m on his deal. I feel like it would be a win now move that doesn’t hurt the future.

    I’ll ask you, do you think Nas could start for us next year if we are a contending team?

    Yeah, but we have to remember, he's a free agent and he can't be traded.

    good question. I’d say if Nas were to stay healthy, yes. Pretty big if though. But yeah I still believe in him.

    Anyone catch Woj on sportscenter? Said they’ll look to extend Grant and re-sign Nurk.

    If we can extend him from 6'8" to 7' we won't need to re-sign Nurk.

    He's just as injury prone if not more than OG

    If he can put together a decent year, year after could be his impact year for the playoffs?

    Seeing the team get torn down is tough. People overreact in the moment.
