    We won't get a first round pick for Meyers, best case scenario we manage to offload him for a second round pick and an expiring. Harkless could actually fetch a future protected 1st round pick, as could Plumlee and maybe Vonleh. Aminu has been poor but his good contract means we could get a very late 1st for him. I don't think we have the assets to get enough picks to rebuild and on top of that, we will struggle to get half decent free agents and will have to tank for 2-3 years after this.

    yea and he made the AS team over ZR simply because the Jazz were the #1 team going into AS break in 05 or 06 I believe.

    This thread title sounds like something from Buzzfeed.

    It's no secret that the Trail Blazers are under-achieving this season, and from all appearances, GM Neil Olshey isn't doing anything about it. So the BuzzFeed staff has taken it upon themselves to identify 10 potential options for shaking things up which, although likely unpopular with the Blazer faithful, would at least give the franchise a chance to break out of the status quo of mediocrity.

    10. Trade Turner/Plumlee/pick for Brook Lopez
    9. Start Vonleh/Leonard for remainder of season
    8. Trade Leonard/Vonleh for Tyson Chandler
    7. Trade 2017 first for Serge Ibaka
    6. Embrace super-small-ball, trade for Brandon Knight
    5. Convince McCollum to switch to "Microwave" super-sub role
    4. Trade CJ for Noel
    3. Trade Lillard for Jimmy Butler
    2. Trade everyone with any trade value for draft picks
    1. Move the team to Seattle...

    @oldfisherman I was not meaning to knock or insult your original post or thread title. Just having some fun. No insult or slight intended.

    Nah, I knew going into this that I would take flack over it. My first line should have been a clue.
    The only regret I have over making this thread is I now feel worse about the state of the team, not better. It is going to take a very crazy idea and a miracle to fix this team.

    That is because SPD knows mine is loaded, and I know how to use it.

    It was brought to my attention that there might some hesitation or complete non interest in attending the skybox game due to some of my posts and opinions in the OT section.

    Like I care what a dog thinks. :ghoti:

    lol, that is funny, though - I have thoughts about that since I have met you several times... but this is not the OT section.

    Anyone who doesn't want to attend a Blazer game because they don't like your political bent can get bent.

    I really wanted to go to the game and meet everyone. BUT.
    For the past 2 weeks or so, I have been battling old age medical problems.

    The good news is, I am feeling better and starting to get out a little. But, I do not want to push it. All my travel plans have been postponed.

    As a side note, who knew pain killers could taste so good? I now understand how people get hooked on them. The hardest part of this ordeal was to stop taking the pain killer pills. Pot is starting to look like a fun option as well.

    Getting old sucks, and those are the good days.

    I would imagine it has less to do with my opinions and more about me being a snarky asshole.
