    LOL...So, this season the Blazers have sent out 2 players with nothing in return that will help the play on the court. The obvious observation is that we as fans should get used to this mediocre squad for the next 1-2 years, since saving money seems to be the goal. The Blazers have garbage for talent compared to the contracts and it seems that other teams don't want the Blazers trash...For the first time I am officially calling for Olshey's head...It has to roll for putting the Blazers in this despicable situation in having to endure several more years of mediocrity...Let's hope Dame & CJ have tons more patience!...I don't know how they do...because I have about lost mine!

    First of all, welcome rookie. <This space reserved for @HCP welcoming the rookie officially>

    Second - you are crazy man. Since Dame already got Nurk as his understudy - this move gives CJ his own eastern-European giant center to mentor and cherish. This is great. It's a move that adds to locker room cohesion and makes CJ a happy man.

    I for one am waiting for the reign of terror that Rakovic is going to bring on an unsuspecting NBA.

    What? Do each of our guards get their own giant now?

    I mean, those six extra balls could come in handy during a heated game of Bump.

    Some people on Reddit said he has all the tools just doesn't have a feel for the game. Heck. Can he be any worse than Meyers? What have we got to lose?

    Huh?!...What do you mean the NBA is "unsuspecting"?!...The whole NBA knows this guy is the next Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem, Shaq...or maybe just a combination of them all! The NBA is shaking in their boots knowing this guy is now a Blazer and will be a first Ballot Hall of Famer after only his first practice with the Blazers! Come on man...stay up to speed on the Unicorn NBA talent that is about to hit PDX! Neil for President...What a legacy that guy is creating!

    Apparently, you can't just dump a player for nothing in return according to league rules.
