    I wouldn't have last year. He was coming off arguably his best season and didn't shit the bed in the playoffs (like he usually does). I didn't like that draft after the top 3 though so that is probably most of it.

    Nic may bounce back a bit, but he has been labeled inconsistent since before he was drafted. If it hasn't changed by this point I don't think it will. He will have a better year than last year, but they will be pulling their hair out when they play us and he won't post up Lillard, and doesn't shoot any threes because he's trying to hit 10 assists.

    Blue9 must be really upset. The player he loves is traded and the player he hates will most likely stay. I expect we won't be seeing him the same for a few weeks

    Since their is a limit to how many players you can actually play, 7-8 realistically, anytime you trade 1 better player for multiple lesser players you lose. Space, pics, blah blah... until Neil magically fills this hole he's created we're a far weaker team at the 2 and 3 than we were before the trade and are stuck with 2 guys nobody else wanted.

    Cho is the perfect GM there. He brings charts and graphs to the meetings showing 4 trade or draft options and lets Jordan make the decision.

    As Bill Walsh said, better to get rid of a player one year to early that one year too late.

    Too bad we don't always have the foresight. If we did then we would all have won the lottery by now and it would have shut down due to bankruptcy.

    Maybe; in my opinion, he's not ready for prime time for another couple of optimistic years yet. But you never know; he was very effective in the playoffs. Confused the hell out of Gasol, and held his own against him in the post (no worse than Rolo).

    Vonleh may become an All-Star or he may bust. I'm willing to move Batum to take that risk. We already know what Nic's capable of and the team, as currently constructed, just wasn't good enough to win it all so I like the move to shake things up.

    I'd argue he guarded gasol better than rolo. Rolo looked lost and almost useless in that series

    Q. Before becoming a Blazer, what did Gerald Henderson have in come with Dorell Wright, Robin Lopez and LaMarcus Aldridge?

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    A. All four players have the same agent, Wasserman Media Group.
    Hope the Wasserman Media Group and Olshey working together in the Henderson to Blazers trade is a good indicator that they are also working together to re-sign LMA, Rolo and maybe even Dorell with the Blazers.

    Crabbe played really well for 8 games as a starter when Nic was out with injury...he's going to get a shot at SF...DWright can play the 3 as well.

    I thought Tellem signed on with the front office of a team somewhere recently..wouldn't that be a conflict of interest juggling clients?

    I'm not a big Henderson fan, but I like Vonleh a lot and I bet he would have been a top 5 pick in this year's draft if he's stayed in another year. The Blazers met with Vonleh last May, before the draft, in spite of not having a first rounder and I'd imagine they're excited to get him.
