    Is that what DJJ and Covington do? Sit in the corners? Haven’t noticed that.

    Seriously? I feel like that's the only place DJJ is sans last night.

    IF they got Gordon, he'd probably be used in a role a bit like Batum, RoCo, and Rodney Hood. Some kind of Frankenstein monster combo of the roles those three guys play/played.

    I just don't see getting him a worthwhile move considering what the Blazers would have to give up. I don't think it makes the Blazers significantly better.

    I agree, but I also think that what it would take won't necessarily be what is being reported. Most trades never are.

    Are we going to see him go elsewhere, see the trade pieces, and think, the Blazers could have beat that offer?

    Blazer fans always think the team could "beat" a trade offer.

    Every.

    Single.

    Time.

    I just need a huge paradigm shift from Neil and then him to convince the Magic to change directions.

    Neil decides (very logically) that it's time to give up on the Dame/CJ experiment. He calls up John Hammond and says, "Hey, I know you guys are talking about young players and picks for Gordon but why not try and start to assemble a big time winning team right now. You can build it around CJ and Vucevic." So we offer them CJ for Gordon, MCW and a first rounder. They have to figure out how to make the cap stuff work by making another unbalanced trade. This is what happens.

    Alright everyone happy trade deadline. No one has to hear another wild trade idea from me until our season is over.
