    I think half the reason Portland did so well last year was the chemistry, which was developed by getting together early, sticking together, and really clicking together. I think there's something to be said to keeping most of the guys, and improve in a few spots as the proper opportunity allows. A draft pick won't make or break this team. I think roster stability is way overlooked in the NBA. I think Portland is better today (even if they just retained their own FA's) than they were to start the season, and even as they were after Game 82.

    I'm not saying stay status quo, but and I'm antsy to see some moves, but I don't want moves for the sake of making moves. I trust NO has a plan.

    Not sure what picks have to do with anything. OKC got better without picking.

    What year are we talking about? Because Utah has done nothing, and Denver's picks are 3 years away from doing anything in the playoffs. And OKC was already better

    But draft express had him at #50; just means there will be more available in the 31-40 range.

    It's not what we are or aren't doing, it's that every team in our division is getting better and we are going to have to rely on free agency, that's kinda scary considering our best FA we've gotten in the last decade has been Andre Miller.

    Blazers trade send Cash to Charlotte for the #22 pick and Jeremy Lamb, and draft Skal Labissiere.

    How refreshing is it to not have to deal with the habitually stupid and annoying Stephen A. Smith tonight?

    for next yr - did they really? They still lack shooters and Oladipo is not a good shooter and Sabonis is a rook, I like the trade for OKC but I am not at all sure they are better next yr

    Utah got George Hill, which was an upgrade to their weakest link.

    Remember, we can still get Rubio if we take on Pek. I only do this after we find out if we get someone in free agency or not though.

    I'd love that. Lamb would basically replicate Hendo.

    It's close but I'd go Deyonta over Skal.

    Why is it hard to understand that we don't want to waste cap space right now? So unless you want to dump CJ/Aminu/Davis that's all our contracts that we can move.

    Deyonta Davis is top available guy on my board right now as well (if I had a board). Skal is 2nd or 3rd.

    MM, I don't think Olshey is pinning his hopes on tonight to get better. July 1st is much more important.
