    I agree... I'm not a fan of mid season moves because I've seen it backfire more than help. We are playing with house money right now with next season our big push for a title. Right now, I think our boys can get to the WCF and possibly make it to the finals. Once you are there, then it's anyones ballgame.

    A legit contender. We're a contender, but not a title contender. I'd want to at least try (and not Morey 'hit it out of the park' try) to do something. If we don't, oh well, but I'd rather have "love than lost, then to have never loved at all" so-to-speak.

    If we get that slashing wing that's already ahead of what CJ can do now (and CJ IS improving, but is it enough to put us over the hump) then you have to look at it, IMO.

    I agree we're a contender, but I also think we're behind a couple teams as well. And it's true, it's more wide open this year, despite how tough the west is.

    I know you think Golden State is terrible, and not good, and all this, but I think they are coming out of the west if we don't make a move, IMO. If we just make a move for the bench with an Afflalo type, we can come out of the west. That's my opinion.

    Hey I know Javale is good, but I think we already have some good refreshment boys/girls behind the bench already ;P

    "Most execs believe Aldridge will stay with Portland but their brass are very, very scared that he could bolt."

    Not sure if I should've posted this here or the blood pressure thread.

    If my calculations are correct...
    Javale to Portland = More Shaqtin the fool
    More Shaqtin the fool = More media exposure for Portland
    More media exposure for Portland = More people interest
    More people interest = More Hotels for Portland due to the people visiting
    More Hotels for Portland due to the people visiting = Portland Allstar Game! Woo hoo!

    I might have forgotten to carry the 3 but i think you will find the formula works quite well

    Was wondering how long this one would take to make it here. First iv seen about it was reported by @thenbacentral on twitter and it was the same as above with the added "they might trade him" to it. Havent seen it really anywhere else and doubt it has any actual merit behind it or it would have been reported by credible sources and would be the biggest story on what has been a kind of quite lead up to the trade deadline compared to other years.

    Breaking news: Lamarcus Aldridge to weigh free agency options. Drinking out of toilet STILL bad idea!

    Ok IF (and I dont think so) this is true and brass wants to keep said Aldridge but Olshey wants to keep the starting 5 core, wouldnt the thought be that lets sacrifice one of the starting 5 to make a bigger move to make a push in the playoffs that helps retain Aldridge? Like isnt 4 or even 3 of the starting 5 WITH Aldridge better than 4 without or a total rebuild/retool? IF they really feel this way wouldnt you feel compelled to make a move that keeps Aldridge instead of one that moves Aldridge???

    I would be down for Kanter. I just don't know if we got the goods to make it happen and still have enough to get that wing

    "The Blazers “will not hesitate” to send a first-round pick, Thomas Robinson, and “another player” to the Nuggets in exchange for Wilson Chandler, reports Jabari Young of CSNNW.com. Portland prefers Chandler to Arron Afflalo, according to Young, but the team would be interested in adding Afflalo if Denver’s asking price on him is significantly lower than that of Chandler’s."

    So financially to make the trade work the options are:

    1. TRob, Claver and 1st

    2. TRob, Barton and 1st

    3. TRob, Wright and 1st (I think we would resist this one - at least at first)

    4. TRob, Crabbe and 1st (I don't think we would do this one)

    I didn't bother mentioning CJ as that is too much to give up.
