    I'm just curious what people think.

    Would you try to trade Hendo/Kaman at some point this season? Would you leave things as they are and wait until next offseason to make moves?

    I'm actually torn on the subject because on the one hand I want to be able to get some value for Kaman and possibly Henderson, but on the other I don't really see very many opportunities for playing time for whoever you could get (unless it's someone obvious like DeRozan.)

    Need? No.

    Taking advantage of an opportunity if presented? Yes.

    I would like to receive someone's dump, interspersed with draft picks, like peanuts, if you will.

    I think once Hendo plays and we see what we've got, Neil will decide what he wants to do. I'm just not sure I'm buying that Kaman will be happy with zero playing time. The guy can still play. He's not a starter, obviously, but he can still contribute. I think he's saying all the right things, but I think he most likely has an arrangement with Neil.

    No, you got to see if Henderson going fit with the rest of the team. Kaman your not going get much for him by himself but in a package deal he will be worth more. Then you wait to see injuries from other teams might bring you better offer in a trade.

    Have we ever actually traded for Steve Blake a first time? I thought we'd signed him as a free agent three times, then traded him three times.

    Lillard & Derozan with C.J coming off the bench would be a nice rotation!

    We don't to make a trade at this point. We need to see exactly what eggs we have in our basket, then put them in different baskets.

    We need to know what we have so we know who to keep(who fits) and who to doesn't but has value...keep our ears open and phones connected, and work to make our team a contender.

    Let the rest (the unvaluable, untalented lot walk)

    Those guys are spare points at this point, and I doubt they are in Portland's plays beyond this season. Maybe a contender would want them for a draft pick or another young prospect + salary dump?

    We will be players in the next free agent market. In the meantime I want to see Gerald Henderson kick ass in a Blazer uniform.
