    Lillard or CJ plus two picks might get you top 5. No one else on the roster will get you that.

    Blazer fans. Always judging a whole season by the last game. We just hit a hot team, that's all. As a fan, you have to take the rare downs with the ups. And don't forget that at least one of our players has some body part that hurts. And if that doesn't convince you, remember that last night they rolled into town late, so they weren't fully rested. Last, if all else fails, remember that we're just building for the Golden Future. When Meyers Leonard develops his, we will be great.

    Do you think Philadelphia would accept CJ for theirs and LALs pick? Would you guys do it?

    If we keep going down the path we are, we might have a top 10 pick. Top 10 pick, plus the 27th pick and Aminu might get you the #5 pick and a shitty contract.

    No. Teams will keep the number 5 pick.

    Yes, you're right, and they have so many assets. We have 15 players on the team, that's 15 assets, we can pretty much get anything we want with FIFTEEN assets.

    If the trade were reversed would you really want to give up the #5 pick for anyone other than Dame or CJ and the #10 pick? Really?

    You're handpicking stats. What about the rest of the game? What about the D?

    Didn't we "roll in late" against Cleveland?

    And I'm judging off of 23 games (at the least) where we're 6-17 and have won back to back games just twice since Dec. 3rd

    I learned from you.

    The D was alright. We'll get clobbered by better teams.

    No. But there's Billy Kings out there somewhere. Or wannabe Billy Kings. Olsheys turn to fleece someone.

    The things these eyes have seen. Rock bottom?! Ha! I was there for Oden's knees, Miles retirement, Hedon't Turkeyglue spurning cosmopolitan Portland, Kevin Pritchard's burnt cake, Brandon's meniscus, Damon's foil, and Qyntel Woods' dogs. I've seen things man; things you people wouldn't believe.
