    Everyone on here thinks signing a big time free agent is the next step. No big time free agent will ever come to Portland. People around the league view Lillard as a 2nd tier star who plays no defense, and a chucker. The team that got to the WCSF is gone. Remember how the Blazers played last season when LMA was injured; this season will be worse. The only realistic thing is to tank hard. Tank with intentions to get top picks. Tank for multiple seasons. If the Blazers finish with the worst record they are guaranteed a top 4 pick.

    If you're a true Blazer fan then you love this franchise for what it is and don't long for what it is not. Just like Timbers or Beavers or Ducks fans are proud of any success they have. We don't need threads like this that tell everything that's wrong. We have scumbuckets like John Canzano for that!

    To me Lillard is a winner who does not deserve to be on this terrible team. The Blazers could get a godfather offer for him right now.

    Lamarcus Aldridge is not walking through that door. Wesley Matthews is not walking through that door. Nicolas Batum is not walking through that door. Robin Lopez is not walking through that door.

    Hi! Welcome to RipCityTwo!

    So what exactly do you think we can get for the 24th best player in the NBA?

    Do you think we could we could get more than the 6th pick in the draft that we used to select him?

    And since PG would become an immediate concern do you think we could draft a better point guard than the one we were trading away?

    I don't see Lillard getting us a 1st or 2nd pick in the draft.

    Seems like a lot of risk just to, at best, end up with what we have now.

    Barrack Obama is not walking through that door. George Lopez is not walking through that door. Maya Angelou is not walking through that door. Jeffrey Dalmer is not walking through that door.
