    Here's one way; draft lottery. Make the playoffs and goodbye pick.

    As long as it's not both twins, and since we don't have any other 'badasses' I think it would be fine. Also, the charge is pretty slight as far as felonys go. Markieff is one of 5 guys who broke a mans nose and bruised him. Nothing super serious, no rape, no murder, no multiple fist fights, no dog fighting (in PDX that's much worse than braking a nose). I think the Blazers could swing the 2nd chance excuse with a promise that they'll cut him if there is another incident.

    Oh yeah...THE DRAFT. What are the chances of getting an all-star from the draft? not a future starter, AN ALL STAR?? pretty low right?

    I'll say this - I would rather invest $8Mil a year on Morris than $15Mil a year on Kanter.

    Not the worst we could do, not the best either.

    As much as I would hate to trade Meyers, if we could package Meyers with someone else (such as CJ) for a young all star caliber wing, I'd be all over trying to acquire Markieff Morris. At this point, would Kaman and Crabbe/Connaughton or Henderson alone get Morris?

    Just an FYI, 99.9% of NBA all stars come from the draft....Just sayin. The better your pick, and the more picks you have, the better chance you have of finding one

    Wow! that is way too much man!!!

    Everyone thinks there ia going to be a big trade or a bunch more acquisitions, but the writing is on the wall now. We might pick up one or two more FA's or RFA, but we aren't going to trade away the bulk of our potential in Leonard & McCullum. I am pretty sure they will be evaluated throughout the year to see if they are truly pieces to the puzzle moving forward, but their value now is still really unknown. IF we trade them now and they truly bust out next year, there is no way we would get good value out of the trade And all we would be doing is trying to find them. Too much potential upside for both of them. Lets see where their ceilings are first and I am sure PA and NO think the same. Kaman is also not going anywhere because with Hughes gone, he is our only big mentor/coach type guy.

    We are in a rebuild and we have most of the right lineup to do so. We need one more solid vet ball handling 2/3 to come off the bench and be the mentor for the smalls. Maybe a PG and one more SF, but that's about it. Let the team run and evaluate. I am confident about half the way through the season we are going to see this rebuild shift into more of a retool and then when trade deadline comes, we get rid of the guys not fitting the system and build off of who is. At the trade deadline we will still have plenty of cap space and we will know better which players we need to trade.

    100% of NBA champions come from baby humans. If you want to be guaranteed future champions just collect all the worlds babies.

    Not true, Sam Cassell won 3 championship and he's clearly an alien.
