    You usually don't have to wait for rebounding and hustle. Lopez gave us 11/8 least...clearly his best with us, in 30ish minutes. I think Vonleh could easily get you close to that in less minutes

    Impossible to say, really. If they made this move to throw money at another star, then really high, but maybe his agent informed the team LA didn't believe they could win in Portland and they will add Monroe and someone else lose in the first round the next few years til Lillard gives up too, and the fans will be happy they made the playoffs each year. Hopefully by then Portland has an NHL team

    So: Monroe and DeAndre Jordan - starters on your 2015-2016 Blazers? Oh joy.

    I think Vonleh will be our starting center one day if we keep him. Freak athlete. Leonard will be the 4, LA... Who knows....

    In this scenario we are the worst team in the league, right?

    Assuming Vonleh and Meyers don't come near reaching their potentials, but for what logical reason would you cast out that assumption?

    Because practically nobody reaches their (mythical) potentials? I mean, Aldridge is a top 3 PF in the league and people bitch about him not reaching his potential.

    Well, in his case he was just waiting to be traded to a team with less whiny bitchy fans.

    Dude you are at an entirely new level of meltdown. Have you even read the other forums? The fan base around every team are just as, if not more, bitchier than our fan base.

    I know first hand that Laker fans are some of the worst

    With the Kristaps rumors popping up again I think Neil acquired Noah to package to move up for the 7'3" PF.

    McCollum, Vonleh and 23 can probably get you 3.

    That does make some sense. You can imagine it would be much easier to pry away Kristaps by offering another young promising PF. But, Neil was interested in Vonleh last year too so he might have been just trying to get one of the two players.

    I don't think I'd do that for Porzi. For Russell, sure! CJ showed me enough over the last few months to make me keep him.
