    Do you know enough about Ed Davis to have a reason to LOL at his acquisition?

    I know enough that he's not gonna be a double/double guy and another role player to go along with Vonleh, Plumlee, and Aminu.

    He was a double-double guy last year in per 36. Probably doesn't get 36 mins a game here but I bet we see 9 points and 8 rebounds from him even in a crowded frontcourt.

    Accept it. We're in for a world of hurt.

    It's best long term for this team if we just embrace the fact the next year or two is about player development. Let's see if we get lucky.

    You're in for nothing but disappointment if you expect Olshey to pick up double-double guys for 6.7M/year.

    Assuming LA leaves (and most are), we're STILL over $25M under the cap. There is a lot to be said for filling the roster with several above-average players.

    Still curious as to who is going to be the outside threat.

    Might not be the worst route. Some have also suggested that Sacramento wants to ditch Rudy Gay. Seems like he would fit in to the current roster quite well. Also, I believe Gerald Green is still out there.

    I don't think we need any aside from Lillard and CJ; it didn't get us very far last year when it dried up... :-\

    Asset aquisition. Multiple players multiple positions.

    Probably a deal coming soon though
