    After a bit of thought, I'm going with those 4. Petrie, Drexler, Walton and Lucas. Give Dame another few years, and he might nudge Lucas or Petrie off.

    No. NO... NONONONONONONO
    Bad dog.
    Leonard tops that list because I invested in his ass.
    We could go like this though...
    Loenard
    Oden
    Roy
    Bowie

    That would be in draft order starting with most recent....

    Lorb..

    I just Lorbed in my mouth...Ugh.

    the maintenance costs on this would be higher than the Cavs payroll.

    Agree. Dame may be there some day, but not yet over those four.

    Uncle Cliffy should maybe be on it.

    Which is kinda depressing.

    Clyde Porter LMA and Sheed are the all time leaders in win shares.

    Very good call. I liked Sheed a lot. But he does not belong there ahead of Lucas or Petrie.

    My first thought, probably since Sheed was a power forward, but also because he brought us a championship, was also Lucas. But considering the theme of a Mt Rushmore, I'd strongly argue for Petrie. Petrie was the young franchise's first ROY and first star. Hell if he'd had the benefit of the three point line his Blazers scoring records might be untouchable.

    I wonder if the artist who did that was even around during the Petrie / Wicks era. Or even the Walton / Lucas era, frankly.

    That doesn't make them bedrocks of the franchises history, IMO.

    So considering it's an historical monument, and I've thought about it for about 60 seconds, I guess I'd leave off Dame and go with: Petrie / Walton / Lucas / Drexler
