    Check this out. ESPN is very high on the Blazers. One more piece, like Kevin Love, could be the only thing between them and a title, according to Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe.

    I do not believe that Terry Stotts is capable of leading us to a title. I might be wrong, but that's my opinion.

    We don’t have a package for Love.

    I don’t want Love if the price is Collins. We need his defense, if we attach him we better get something else on top of Love.

    If a rookie coach can lead Toronto to a title, then Stotts can lead Portland to one.

    It has nothing to do with being a rookie coach or a the longest tenured coach in the league.

    Some coaches are capable of leading a team to a title, and some are not.

    Yes, but puppy love, not Big Raging Fire Love.

    And you know that Stotts is one of the coaches who cannot?? Care to offer any evidence? The players love him, management loves him, and he is regarded highly by NBA analysts. The guy has coached a long time, and he has all the tools you need to win a title.

    I wouldn't trade for Love if it would weaken our defense.

    Since it would weaken our defense....

    Wouldn't we have had to include Turner to match salaries? Kinda late for that.

    Harkless, Leonard, Skal, I believe, gets the $$ to match after the new league $$ takes effect. If done before Sunday, we wouldn't need to include Skal.

    No Love please! We need to keep our FAs and see how another year of gelling plus Liitle and Baze infusion can get us to the top. Everyone should practice shooting from all angles and become a threat from everywhere.

    Hmmm....

    Rather not include Skal, but that package is already pretty thin.

    So, tomorrow?
