    How would we be better off? Henderson is out for the season and struggled last year as well.

    You really need to stop taking photos of yourself while using one of the airport urinals.

    Did anybody else hear Chuck just tell that story about flying to Portland to convince the GM to trade for him? Maybe I’m just too young but I’ve never heard that story before.

    Maybe not those exact details, but yeah it was common knowledge that Chuck pressed hard to get traded to Portland at that time.

    I assume the deal was Kersey/Buck for Chuck? I also remember there was a Kersey/Duck for Akeem deal out there and I was against it. Stupid me.

    I bet the trade was something like Kersey, Cliff, and Drazen.

    I mean if I was Philly at the time that’s the deal I’d make.

    Man, did they blow it. At the time I, like every other Blazer fan, didn't like Barkley and was convinced we'd win with what we had - but in retrospect, ugh.

    Lakers playing some great basketball. Without Lonzo. IT looks good, still struggling with his shot, but other parts are getting better.

    I loved Barkley style. Still do. He's still my favorite all-time player. Great sense of humor.
    Even read Chuck's autobiography. Never told my fellow Blazer fan/friends all this till years later.

    Could’ve been traded in a separate deal for a SF
