are you kidding? im so tired of losing and not having playoff success. i just want one damn ring. Look at how happy Cleveland and Toronto fans are after winning rings from mercenary players. Besides, KD coming here would be correcting a mistake as is.
Plus having Dame be on the team for over a decade, Nurk and Ant here, Grant born in Portland, etc I'm totally fine with it. Its not like LeBron and his super friends with 6 all stars all decided to have a party in Portland one year before they go elsewhere. It's adding one star to a group of Blazers, sort of what we did with Pippen and Smith but one player instead of two. Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, and Tyson Chandler all jumped on Dallas to help them win the title. They had Dirk as the franchise, then added key teammates, that's how this has to be done. There is no way to build a contender in Portland or really any city if all we are going to do is build from the draft and ignore trades/free agents.
