    This implies that you believe that Carmelo would've made a difference in that. Those of us glad we didn't trade for him disagree with you about that.

    Shit, well tbere went any chance at winning the NW division. And still, the Blazers can't bring a star to Portland. Are the Blazers lepers or something. Oh well, at least its over.

    I think we've established that young, rich, short sighted, generally uneducated, club-life seeking pro athletes don't like portland. We are doing something right.

    Cool.... so...... role players? We can have role players. I don't think that's going to result in a championship anytime soon.

    It has to be said though that OKC front office have done tremendous job after Durant left. They basically turned an expiring Ibaka into Oladipo and Sabonis who they kept for a season before moving both of them for a season of George (or more if they do well and he likes it there). That's a great return for an expiring player who had his best season two years before the trade.

    They somehow managed to offload a bad deal they gave Kanter for a superstar. Not only they don't have Kanter anymore, they actually got a good player in return.

    There are ways to make their current lineup work. Either they play George at SF and Anthony at PF which means Roberson plays next to Westbrook. He can't shoot but surrounded by shooters you can make him get away with that and he plays great defense. You can also play George in the backcourt and Patterson at PF, Anthony at SF. Who knows. Adams is also a good player, well overpaid at $25M a year but good. They will probably trade him for Klay Thompson knowing their luck.

    We don't have the assets to get it done unless we offer CJ.

    My bet is on Boston with Jaylen Brown and two picks (including the one that 76ers owe them and probably Grizzlies 2019) heading the opposite direction or Suns for Jackson and one of Chriss and Bledsoe.
