    Probably not but Love is on the outs there so they don't have leverage.

    If in fact Milwaukee is getting the most value and Utah the least, would it be more balanced if Collins'/Swanigan's destinations were swapped?

    Paul Allen had to be very disappointed with that loss.

    • No Millsap
    • No Farid
    • Nokic shot 5-17
    • Nuggz shot 31% outside of Murray
    • 7 point lead with 5 minutes to go
    • Nuggs with 4 more TOs

    That practically screams 'win' and yet somehow the Blazers lost that and are now 1.5 games out of the #9 spot. He did not look like a happy owner leaving the court. The fact that he came after not having been at so many Blazer home games tells me he was supporting Dame after the meeting and wanting to see for himself up close and in person the issues with this team.

    Dude, stop bringing up Faried. He is getting DNPcd's all season.

    $3M under the LT? I thought we're about that OVER the LT.

    'Dude'....he's played in 30 of 46 games this year and seems to often give the Blazers fits. So "all season"....not so much.

    Last time he did anything of significance was December 8 in Orlando, so go on and keep beating that drum

    If beating a drum is pointing out that he had not "been getting DNPcd's all season"...okay. Was just pointing out a fact....which your response indicates you weren't interested in. No big deal. Some people like facts, some don't.

    Too bad Malone only played him 17 minutes against us in one of the three games this season. And too bad they lost the one game he did play. This is his gamelog, just FYI:

    I think I'd honestly have to re-think this whole "being a Blazer fan" thing if that kind of trade took place.

    What does 'Malone' have to do with anything?

    He's the one deciding whether Faried should play or not.

    I'm derailing convo. Apologies. I agree that we should have won- said multiple times we gave that game away. But Faried playing or not is of little significance. He's barely played all year, and him getting 5 or 10 mpg once every three games shows his coach doesn't believe in him either.

    Back on topic. We need trades.

    While reading this article without first looking to see who at ESPN wrote it.....it felt very familiar. Then I looked. Hard to know with this guy how much is totally fabricated to make the story more interesting.
