    Yeah that is it Mr Grunfeld....IF only all your players were healthy...You'd be a championship contender for sure.....

    WAS is an organization that is delusional from management...on down to the players...they are going NOWHERE...

    Unfortuantely for POR that likely means no Caron Butler, who would be my #1 acquisition choice.....

    Well, they have their big 3 and a high lottery pick this off-season. I could see them making some noise if they got Griffin or Harden or Thabeet etc.

    They'd probably move Jamison for Amare, but unless you see Jamison playing the 3 here, that wouldn't help us, so who cares?

    And they won't mind paying $30M over the cap (including $15M luxury tax)? To a group that has never shown the ability to go deep into the playoffs (and are only getting older)? You may be right, but if they stay put then they can always trade the big three later when their contracts are less (and their pockets are $30M lighter).

    Paul Allen lives in Washington, not Washington DC.

    If they're willing to spend, no one is stopping them. At this point, I think they are, considering they were the ones to give Arenas that huge contract.
