    I said it the last few years and I'm still saying it. I would package Batum and someone else for a defensive minded wing who is TOUGH and a solid backup big. Until the mindset changes away from this soft euro crap on defense the results will remain the same. In my opinion Batum is the most overrated Blazer of all time. Not saying he can't be good in stretches but I'm saying he is VERY overrated.

    Seeing as he got banned, I'm assuming it was a previously banned poster?

    He was probably banned for making a grammar mistake in his title.

    The Blazers never trade a player when their value is high. They wait until we get 50 cents on the dollar for any assets.

    That's not totally true Pryzbilla was a key part of the Gerald Wallace deal and that was more value than I thought he had.

    Joel was at the end of career at that point. I'm taking guys like Bayless and Bonzi. Dudes that had high value at one point but we held on way too long to get value back.
