    RA is slightly better than Crabbe & has a similar contracts. He could be a better fit from a rotational viewpoint

    I don't need to be sold on your viewpoint. I'd take Crabbe over RA any day. This has already been debated.

    Was the plan all along to make it seem like we weren't out to land Melo in Houston when really we were?

    PR style stuff, for the fans and the players?

    "We wanted to get Melo to PDX, but couldn't talk him into waiving no trade clause so we made the best move possible in the situation."

    Oh fuck. Dammit fonz.

    People are gonna be like NO lucked into a good deal if it turns out well for us, and then you're gonna have the others saying "it was all a part of an elaborate scheme"

    When in reality it could be all of the above or one or the other.

    I hope they don't think we're that stupid. A shit trade is still a shit trade and any trade that involves us getting Ryan Anderson is a shit trade.

    If this turns out to be true, and that's a big if, then I would hope that the delay by the Blazers has been for the purposes of getting the Knicks and Rockets to sweeten the pot to where it's no longer a shit trade. A couple of firsts, along with dumping at least one of our bad contracts, would achieve that.

    I say we wait and see if we are involved what we actually get before we decide to have an opinion about the trade.

    I don't think it's unreasonable to analyze in advance and determine with which combinations we would and would not be satisfied.

    Nearly everyone and their mother has come out with the price for taking on Anderson being 2 first round picks. We better get that if we're taking him on.

    Well one of those picks probably gets cancelled out for unloading one of our bad contracts... so I would be happy with one 1st rd pick

    This guy from Clutchfans says 5:45.




    Apparently he called the CP trade.

    lol we're predicting times of trades now?

    @SlyPokerDog--you wanna make this a forum game? Surely you've been hoarding some more Blazer swag that you can offer up as a prize.

    Ryan Anderson may not be ideal piece for Blazers to trade for, but it's better than not making any moves... Dame is 27 and the window is now... Ryno at the very least will open the paint for Nurkic, Dame, and CJ
