    I wonder if they make MKG available. Man, Kemba is criminally underpaid. Sucks for him that he didn't get an option in his contract to get out to the market in this new cap.

    Interesting stuff about the Pellies, who we are now in the same boat with.

    Sidenote:
    Gotta keep an eye on this if Howard becomes available again.

    I really hated Mo when he was here. I couldn't wait for him to get the boot and open up minutes for CJ.

    Now that we suck, I could see bringing him back to displace Napier.

    Wasn't there a rumor a while back that Howard could be had for a second rounder?

    I thought he was pretty good for us. Especially this shot.

    Mo is physically damaged. He was going to retire this summer but wanted to get his last year of his deal paid so he figured he would ride the inactive list all year.

    With his production and contract, and his skills, why not?

    Ironically, at the time he signed the extension, he was considered overpaid. He signed a 4-year extension, with no annual increases, after a down year, then he exploded and so did the salary cap.

    Oh well, when his contract expires he will have made almost $60 million and will only be 28. If he keeps playing like he has been, he'll still be young enough for a big payday.

    Because I would rather watch a bad Blazers team than a better one with Howard on it.

    I get the premise. I would rather root for a bad Blazers team than a good one with Harden. But I think Harden is the only player I feel that way about. There are other players I hate, but Harden is the only one I hate enough to not even want on the team. Even if he brought us a championship, it would be tainted.

    I don't get that level of hate for Howard, though.

    What does a breaking down, aging Dwight Howard do for us? Maybe he gives us a chance to really lock up that 8th seed, and then what? He doesn't make this team a title contender. He doesn't make us much better for long. You're not going to be able to get him for nothing (probably picks and a player). Look at this potential trade from 2 or 3 years down the road, instead of just the next 2 or 3 months.

    I hate James harden as well, but I have no problem admitting he is an elite player, that makes any team better. I just wish he wouldn't be such a bitch flopper, because he would be good regardless.

    At this point it seems we need to find another team that is as messed up and desperate as us to trade with. I would suggest Orlando is one: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-magic/os-sp-magic-pelicans-0119-story.html

    Another one might be Sacramento, but if they aren't interested in trading Cousins, I don't know if they have much for us.

    I know they say you should never make a trade just to make a trade, but at this point it seems some kind of shakeup might help. At least it might help my mood. :)
