    Yeah, that's what I meant. If they have a salary they'd like to dump, assuming they are thinking of going young.

    56 really? Yeesh... I don't remember what I picked... We certainly lost enough close games that we could have gotten there if Harkless and Nurk had better starts.

    Well there are two players on their roster that would be considerations for our TPE. The most likely is Patti Mills who is still owed over $37 million over the next three years. The other is Danny Green at $10 million but he only has this season left.

    I'd take Mills back if that helped get the deal done. Heck, we could even cut him so he could go back to them.

    He can't go back to them. There is no way we'd cut someone with that much money left on his deal.

    We cut Steve Francis. But yeah I forgot about him not being able to go back to them. Either way, it's not a bad contract for Patty. It probably wouldn't be worth it for SA to cut. Better keep him around as a mentor for the kiddos.

    I think you are overvaluing Mills worth both as a player, his contract, and to the Spurs. He's okay but not I'm sure the Spurs would like to get rid of him if they are trading Kawhi.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Blazers miss the playoffs next season if no major changes are made.

    Roy had degenerative knees and we had plenty of evidence of it on the floor with his diminished abilities. Don't think we even know wtf is going on with Kawhi. It's why this minicamp will give some insight at least.

    It's probably taking Kawhi's numbers from this year...in that case it'd be right.

    Well there are some people who are saying Kawhi has a degenerative condition as well.

    It would shock the heck out of me, unless, God Forbid, an injury to a key player happens. Blazers are heading on a path to success. Doubters gonna doubt.

    What make you think I disagree with you? I just posted a pic saying it wouldn't surprise me if Hailblazers wasn't surprised that BigGameDamian wouldn't be surprised if the Blazers don't make the playoffs.

    Isn't that clear? :)

    You're right, I've never actually checked where he grew up, just hearing erroneous reports he's from LA to base it on. Still, why do you feel Portland would have a growing appeal on him, where it really hasn't on the last 2-3 generations of players that have come through here?

    I disagree. That's a squad.

    But I never want to see that turncoat in a Trailblazer uni ever again.
