    This season/series have made a lot of things clear:

    *This team NEEDS a healthy Nurkic to get out of this purgatory.
    *There NEEDS to be a talent upgrade at: PF|SF|Bench
    *Neil's big FA (Turner) was a complete dud. Neil makes me nervous the same way John Nash did.
    *Meyers is a third-string center at best. If that.

    2017 offseason plans? The first order of business to recreate this billboard with Meyers, Turner and Crabbe.

    Meyers is not a third string center sadly. He made a lot of money off of one good series against Memphis.

    Find a backup center

    Find a veteran, ideally a veteran that can shoot

    Trade one of Aminu and Harkless

    Trade Meyers (before you tell me he can't be moved, google miles plumlee)

    Draft: Ferguson, OG, Giles/Hartenstein

    I'm actually super excited about this offseason. We finally have a few assets to put into play for picks and/or moves. Wish we had some flexibility, but we have a ton of options.

    Neither. We are two seasons from a near complete rebuild without a top three draft pick and a healthy future next year with Nurkic.

    I keep seeing Blazers fans saying we can "trade ______ + a first round pick"

    Here's the deal, we can't and we won't. No team in their right minds is going give up anything useful for Crabbe, Harkless, Turner, or Leonard's contracts and a late first-round pick which historically will end up being an average at best player

    The team you watched tonight will likely be the same team you watch next season + Nurkic, unless the FO accepts the fact that Lillard and CJ will never be able to succeed together without a premiere perimeter 2 way player next to them, and decides to trade CJ

    If I had to make a prediction right now I'd say 44-48 wins next year, somewhere in that range, and another first round exit, just being honest. at least you guys don't have to deal with me now that the seasons over. But this roster is absolutely fucked, let's face it

    Worst part about it is that when it's all said and done we will have wasted Dame's prime. He's about to turn 27.

    I wonder what it would take to get PG from the Pacers? He is most definitely gone and it would be a huge risk because if we didn't have a good season he would probably leave for the Lakers. Maybe something like Harkless/our 3 1st and whoever else they want for PG and a bad contract like Thaddius Young or Al Jefferson.
    I don't want to move CJ but if we could use him to get Butler i'd do that as well.
