There is only one team on that list that is worse than the Kings. Given the way things are going, Zion will show up for the game straight from his audition for "My 600LB Life" and drop 40 on us.
 
I don't see an option for 'never, the team will first move to Seattle and be renamed Sonics'.

Hell naw. Blazers are garbage this year. Ima ride or die though let’s see who the real fans are during the rebuild soon
 
I think we'll have our best shot against the Pels so that's who I voted for but we could put a great game together and upset either of our next two opponents or just play a decent game together against Memphis and get a W there. We just haven't seen our team put together a decent game on the road yet. So the Pels are the best bet but we could start playing even halfway in between what we've been doing at home and on the road and get a win sooner. At the same time we really could drop all six games between now and the new year.
 
I think the pelicans and lakers are the only winnable games but given how poorly we have been on the road we honestly could lose them all. I voted Pelicans.
 
How old are you guys? I'm still young so i might see a Blazers championship in my life, but if you are over 60 you are wasting your time with this team, Aldo is right, rebuild has to come

The sooner the better man. Hopefully we have one of those fast rebuilds

with where the ownership/management is at, im not sure anything will be quick. If we go into full rebuild you better hope the team is sold to a portland/ nba superfan.
Otherwise this could be another decade drought not sniffing the playoffs.
Rebuilds are crapshoots and there is no way to guarantee it would net better results over the next decade vs what we have had.
Im all for making moves to get better. New coach. Possible new gm soon, who is hopefully willing to make the moves.

Is there a generational talent coming up in the next couple years we could target if we did tank?
Im asking. I dont know. If so, I could possibly be sold, but if not? Not really interested in a bunch of borderline all star projected draft picks.

Why does the conversation always center around the team needs to be sold? Jody seems to really care about the team. She’s ALWAYS at the games, there’s owners in the league that don’t even go to games. All she has to do is hire a new GM and back off.

I’m excited for the future. This current era is super played out and boring. Think about it, our road record is up there with the rockets and pelicans damn near 20 games into the season. We’ve seen plenty. I hope we fire Neil soon, hire a new young up and coming Gm talked about around league circles, head into the trade deadline being sellers. The sooner the better

First of all, this is the first i have conversed about this, so not sure where this “ always has to center around” is coming from.

But to answer your question….
because I'm concerned about how much jodi knows. She may be a fan and care but unless she puts the right people in the right spots, the gm search and hire could take a while and them still fail. What is her basketball reach into the elite minds of the game? Or is she relying on others to qualify the next gm and who are they?

Its not as easy as hire another gm and get out of the way.
That's a gross oversimplification.

There is no guarantee a new gm makes better decisions or deals with the cap situation better.

There is no guarantee trading Dame for picks makes us better down the road. We could easily enter a decade long losing streak.

Absolutely, there are no guarantees in life....except we are guaranteed that this roster is not contending now, in the past, or anytime soon. The decade long mediocrity has run it's course. This roster needs a serious revamping. That doesn't mean I want to trade Dame, but at the same time, if we did, we wouldn't win any less Playoff series than we have for the majority of the past 10 years.

Failure is always an option, but too many Blazer fans have come to accept it as inevitable.

Also, I would suggest retiring the "generational talent" notion. Were Dame or Roy considered "generational talents" when they were drafted? You know who was - Oden and Zion. Is it that hard to find NBA professionals who understand the difference?

good points but injuries played a factor in Oden and i was never sold on Zion from the get go.

With that said, of course one can get lucky and nail a Klay Thompson or giannis, but no one knew they would be that good at draft time.

The draft is a gamble.

So is keeping Dame, trading cj for other pcs and running it for a few more years.

With a new coach id rather make the trade for cj than Dame.

Im fully on the rebuild team but also fine trying to compete. I just want us to be a contender again but that might be through a full rebuild.

You also said you thought we would win 30 games this season. Total. So.. of course you want a rebuild.
