    Between now and February will be the most interesting time this season.

    Until the draft.

    We are rebuilding. Embrace it.

    I believe everyone on this roster is available outside Lillard.

    Neil will cash in on the expiring deals of Henderson/Kaman. A playoff team will certainly look at Henderson.

    I posed a similar question to HolyBackboard to bring up on his podcast. "Who on this team has staying power?" I think we learn a bit more each week, and right now I'm not sure Dame is the only one we plan on keeping around long term. Plumlee might not be the vision for our starting Center on a championship contender, but I think he's definitely worth keeping around. Likewise I'm not too sure the team is going to trade CJ unless there is an offer we can't refuse. I think our core players whom we will probably see on the roster next season are Dame, Meyers, CJ, Plumlee, Aminu (essentially our starting 5). I think the management likes these guys going forward, maybe not always as starters, but I definitely think those 5 will hang around for the rebuild.

    I think we need scoring off the bench and ESPECIALLY in the frontcourt.

    Kelly Olynyk has fallen out of favor it seems - inconsistent role. Minutes (17mpg) are being eaten by Sullinger and Zeller.

    Capable scorer, 24 years old and a career 35% from three.

    In Portland he'd get the minutes backing up Plumlee and Leonard.

    Our backup PF and C scored 43 points tonight. What more could you want?

    We need draft picks.

    If a top 20 player in his 20s becomes available, then consolidate some of our young guys in a trade while absorbing salary, but I don't see the point in making lateral moves for mediocre players (Olynyk, etc) when we're gonna win 30 games.

    Our bench scored 73 pts last night...I don't think bench scoring is a glaring deficiency

    We want
    Exactly - we want picks and/or possibly the rights to drafts-and-stashes. The only players that MIGHT excite teams a little (excluding Lillard, of course) are CJ and Leonard. But Henderson might be of interest to a contender, especially one that's just had an injury to a wing player. If we can do a trade like the one Denver did with us with Afflalo (but in reverse) that's the best we can hope for.

    No to Olynyk. He's an interesting offensive player who will destroy your team defense. Y'know, like most of the players we already have.

    Olshey will be looking for value at the trade deadline. I can see a easily see a bunch of teams trying to lowball him. But unless he gets premium talent in return then he won't pull the trigger.

    It's been a glaring deficiency for almost a decade.

    Lets sweeten the deal by trading away SlyPokerDog to any Henderson/Kaman trade. Maybe it'll net us a future 1st and cash considerations.
