First Sheed, then ZBo, now Aldridge...

It's amazing how Blazer fans keep turning on their top power forwards. Sheed got us to two WCFs and was run out of town, with everyone clamoring for ZBo who was "playing like a real PF." In Sheed's last year, everyone talked about how much they preferred ZBo. Then, only a few years later, everyone says they want Aldridge instead. Now, it's Hickson. Some of us are never happy.

 

I LOVED Z-Bo's play! Wish we had a clone of him.....strictly on-court.

 

NY and LAC, like us, were horrible organizations at the time, making horrible decisions. Saying that those fuckups made bad decisions doesn't excuse us. Knicks, Clippers, and Blazers didn't realize what they had.

 

Z-bo's off the court behavior was excusable. He also piled up stats but wasn't a good team mate. Now I liked Wallace.

 

What the fuck? Serial rapist? I guess I could call you a serial rapist too. It'd be about the same thing.

 

ZBo is not a convicted rapist.

 

He also has not run drugs. He'd be in jail for that.

 

I liked Sheed quite a bit, but he wanted out and they granted his wish. As for LaMarcus I hope we keep him. He looks like he's not all that healthy right now, but I suspect he'll get healthy in due course ... like next year after they add another lottery pick to this motley crew.

 

He never had a team

i cant wait to run cody zeller noel out of town

 

True. He had a posse. HAHAHAHA!!

 

I remember just a few years back a lot of fans wanted the Blazers to deal Aldridge to the Rapters for Chris Bosh.

 

Link please. As I remember it, Rasheed said he liked Porrland and wanted to say in every interview I ever watched or read. We were playing great basketball (we had won 8 of 10) when we traded him.

 

I think trading Aldridge for the right package could be beneficial to our future.... I don't see how that's "running him out of town". If we could deal him for a couple of pieces that fit our core, I say do it. Hickson is good enough to lessen the sting of losing Aldridge.

To be clear:

Aldridge > Hickson

But Aldridge also is older and has more trade value

We need more than just five players... and right now that's practically all we have.

 

THANK YOU for creating this thread. its so true....everybody shut up and let the guy play. none of you have any idea what goes on behind the scenes...except maybe HCP but ill bet you he agrees with me

 

address some real needs then.

Starting Center. Bench. That's all we need to do really....unless we're trading Aldridge for a great starting center in the league, don't bother trading him for some shitty "prospects" that will never ever ever make an allstar team.

I don't think Hickson is a starting PF in this league.

A lot of good will be done by getting Hickson to the bench to be a backup PF for Aldridge...get him some rest...and having a real Center in there.

Another good thing would be to get an upgrade at the 2 guard.....

as bad as the blazers have been playing, there isn't really the need to blow up the team as we need a few pieces...and we have the cap space and flexibility to make those moves to get to the next level. Freaking out and chasing out the 2nd best PF in the league for scraps and draft picks isn't the way to go here...it rarely is.
