    Exactly my point. Very different. It's changed almost as much as the sport itself has.

    Just think if the Blazers were in the Finals starting this week. The weather will be awesome. Rose Festival is going strong. The rivers will be bumpin. The city would be Jumpin! Every look that the country would have of Portland would be fantastic.

    Ha! Growing up in the 70s, I'd spend hours reading/memorizing baseball stats because they once came once a week in the Sunday Oregonian.

    Nice! But you only got the numbers from your team and the league leaders. You didn't have access to every player in the league at the touch of a button. You had a column 2 inches wide and maybe the length of the page at best. Sometimes a page and a half in length. To be fair they did print it really really small.

    Morey is just like a typical board member around here. Trade anybody! Trade everyone! Keep shuffling until we draw a royal straight.

    I could see Orlando getting involved, just because they are weird like that.

    Lakers would probably give all their young players for CP3/Lebron tandem

    If Morey is our GM and we just lost the WCF, what would he do to improve our team?

    Rockets have also fired all of their assistant coaches under D'Antoni. They pursued Tyron Lue to be an assistant. Woj just reported that D'Antoni's extension talks have stalled.

    Writing is on the wall.

    The rockets are a bunch of idiots. From the owner, down to the hot dog salesman.

    Seems like Houston is gonna have a fire sale this offseason. If they get to the point they want to trade Harden should we go for him? I am on the fence and think the Dame/Harden combo only works in the all star game.

    Seriously? You are on the fence about having a guy like Harden on the Blazers with Dame?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I can't see them trading Harden. They're not going to get a player as good as him within Morey's tenure--if there is a fire sale, it'll be an attempt to retool a new team around him, IMO.

    Also, I don't think Portland has the assets to trade for Harden without including Lillard. And why would Lillard be attractive to them if they're dealing Harden? Presumably, they only deal Harden to get younger and cheaper.

    CP3 for 38, 41, and 44 mil a year! good fucking luck with that, maybe the worst contract in the league, albatross around your neck Houston. Cant stop laughing. He will be injured for half of his remaining games anyways. So basically he's making double that, or ~ about a million a game! what a fucking waste of money.
