Who would you not be bothered seeing the front office cut to accommodate an unbalanced trade?

    No, if someone posted the return we'd have arguments about why it's not realistic or why a different trade should be made. Better to leave it up to each voter as Plad described.

    Let them all go.

    If you love something, set it free.

    If it comes back after it is old, overpaid, and worn out, it's yours.

    If we had to cut players, I would slice them either on their backs, or forearms. Those types of cuts should not affect their game near as much as having a laceration on a leg or bicep/tricep...if I were to cut any of the players, that is.

    I am glad to see we are not trying to convert players, against their will, to a new religion.

    The Blazers are a religion, but it is all voluntary.

    Removed Banton from my vote - I'd like to keep him for more of the season and see what we get. He should be starting over Scoot and Ant.

    Not sure when Scoot's team option is guaranteed but at some point we might even consider cutting him. He somehow is shooting worse than last year, can't finish inside, and routinely throws passes above the backboard. Clingan and Rupert are younger but both have had more impressive games than any of Scoot's.

    Just not an NBA level player. We bought the hype and were wrong. It's a sunk cost, time to move on.

    One of the dumbest posts in a long time. Congrats.
