    He’s shown he can hit jumpers, but I’m more intrigued by his low post game. We need to create easy shots without the shooters we’ve had in the past and Vonleh has always shown a patient back to the basket game to me with a nice hook. I don’t remember the last time we ran that, or any other play for him. I think it’s time.

    He can shoot with range...he just has been under rookie status as a young guy for too long...all he needs is swagger and burn...he's as strong as Karl Malone or Brian Grant...massive lower core strength...big guys don't push him off a screen or off the block easily if at all..he's got really long reach...so does Chief...

    I don’t see how we don’t. Trading him for a SF that can score/shoot would be a lateral move because he’s that good defensively .

    I missed the game. Why did Noah only play 24 mjnutes?
    The box score looked like Noah & Aminu swapped the PF, and never played at the same time.
    Against the Bucks length, I'd have both Aminu & Noah playing together at both forward spots.

    Because Stotts is stuck on having to play Aminu and Harkless together most of the time.

    It’s great they stand up for their team mates but after 5 years it’s inexcusable for Meyers to be this bad. He is worth nothing on the trade market, maybe a second round pick at best

    Harkless didn’t even play in the second half.

    Not sure about that. Seattle is a much bigger city with far more homeless people. And while I don't go to Portland regularly, I have to say that the infrastructure that I've seen is miles better than anything I saw in *Seattle.

    But I'll say this....God help both those cities when the Big One hits. Thousands dead. Old Town Seattle is gonna crumble like a cheap French hooker.

    This. You can blame it on the leadership and the increased population numbers this past decade.

    This. Sorry Nurk, you haven't seen what we have for the past 5 years.

    Blazer fans don’t like guys that don’t try, it’s historically accurate with this fan base when you have very loved past blazers like kersey or Wesley Matthews and then guys who are some of the most disliked as players such as Felton and Meyers. Harkless has basically joined that club.

    To be fair, I was booing the whole team after most blown offensive possessions.

    CJ can play. Whatever you may think of trading him, there's not even a comparison to their skill level.

    Lol right? It’s unbelievable how selfish CJs game is. Maybe that’s his role on the team and I’d get it because we lack shooters and scorers but man that guy has tunnel vision with the ball in his hands.
