    He is an upgrade on defense. He is not the ball handler, rebounder or fast break artist that Hart is. But, on the perimeter, he is an elite defender.

    If Hart and GPII both end up leaving, we are going to see a lot fewer Sharpe lobs.

    We might be at the start of seeing a lot more of Trendon - and he is a very good passer, especially for a big. Add Justise - and there are still good lob passers on the roster. I doubt both GP2 and Justise are going out, if either one is.

    Why are Lillard and Simons such poor lob passers? Seems like something you could practice and improve....seems like Grant is bad too.

    I think Hart/GPII are better at the fast break lobs though.

    Over Trendon, yes. Over Justise, not imho.

    Hey, we saw Dame throw a lob, sort of, yesterday.

    I have seen both throw nice lobs to SS. Dame had one last night. But I liked Watford's better.

    Other teams swing for the fences. Portland is just happy to get it out of the infield.

    Probably the ideal scenario actually. No swing was putting Portland over the top and many of these big swings are going to miss, leaving the Blazers in a better position.

    We're still ducking the tax after these moves, right?

    Jody "Duck the Tax" Allen.

    Hard to believe she's related to Paul "What's a tax?" Allen

    And you expected that with the assets we have?

    2 players better than grant? You just expected that? Just think about it for a second and then laugh that you ever thought about that.

    It's funny seeing the same people who really wanted thybulle the last couple of years hate the trade where we gave up nothing for him..

    Love the trade.

    Out: Hart @ $13M

    In: Thybulle ($4.4M), Reddish ($6.0M), Arcidiacono ($1.8M) = $12.2M

    So Blazers cut ~$800k in salary. I wouldn't call that a bunch.
