    Late to the party, but he is doing this against the opposition's bench. I know he had the stint when dame was out, but when he runs point, its mostly against the bench. There's a big difference.

    Both LeBron James and Blake Griffin drive Kia Optima K900 sedans.

    I'm officially off the trade CJ debate...I think he's a keeper

    I think a legit question is "do you want to trade Hendo?"

    I think Henderson is starting to feel comfortable with the new team and has gotten into incredible shape..the dude is strong and explosive..we could do a lot worse for a bench reserve

    Was it my imagination or did CJ finish just fine at the rim tonight? I saw him hit at least 4 out of the 5 he attempted.

    Hendo is is becoming very intriguing. Why not re-sign him? Both he and Crabbe can play both SG and SF. There is enough minutes for Dame, CJ, Crabbe and Hendo.

    The Los Angeles Clippers are determined to play out the season with Blake Griffin despite receiving trade calls on his availability.

    The Clippers are expected to pursue Kevin Durant in free agency and wouldn't hesitate to trade away Griffin for him.

    The Thunder would resist a sign-and-trade deal involving Durant until they're sure he would leave anyway.

    Griffin is an Oklahoma native and he would give the Thunder the opportunity to acquire another perennial All-Star.

    In Oklahoma they will let him beat people up anytime he wants to...a big selling point

    CJ was 5-7 inside 5Ft tonight - his 2nd best efficiency inside (had a game of 5-6 on Jan 3)

    As to why you don't resign Hendo is b/c you're trying to open up salary space to bring in one more legitimate top line player.

    I agree a top line player is more important. Plus as I mentioned in another thread, Crabbe is also a bigger priority than Hendo. But assuming that the Blazers find out pretty quick in July about landing the "big" FA, Henderson could still be out there for cheap. But I admit it is not looking good for that scenario.

    I like the three guard line up of Dame, CJ and Crabbe and I hope that the Blazers stick with that going forward. If CJ couldn't play the point effectively, I'd be more in the camp of trading him, but with him being able to effectively play that spot along side Crabbe, I think it's working great.

    if by some miracle Hendo was available on the cheap- yeah there's literally no reason you don't take him. But I have a feeling he'll be one of those guys who you look back on in 3 years and ask how he got paid so much. Exploding salary cap is going to spawn some really bad deals, hopefully the Blazers don't partake.

    I agree, he is a $6M expiring contract. He's cap space, and a brilliant trade by NO.

    But at $6M as a 4th guard, maybe he's worth it.

    The guy is a starter in this league (for Charlotte). If any one of CJ, Dame, or Crabbe goes down for a bunch of games, Hendo is not a bad guy to give those minutes to.

    Danilo Gallinari name has been mentioned in trade talks as well. Blazers could use a SF. Any interest there?
