    HE READY

    Zach’s development is the most important thing for our franchise right now. When Nurk comes back he must continue to play.

    Trade Davis and/or Leonard.

    Yep, dude needs to be starting next to Nurk or at least the first big off the bench with at least 20 minutes a game.

    You can see his learning curve is pretty quick. Game still needs to slow down for him a bit, but at least he's too quick instead of too slow (like the teams other big white guy).

    I know it's hard to accept with a player like Lillard leading this team but the Blazers need realize that even at our best we are not going to come close to competing deep in the playoffs much less a title. But with that said it's time to get some serious run for Collins. He gets better each time and with more minutes. He need to start next to Nurk with Aminu at the 3. I actually liked that he had to deal with West tonight because that is exactly the experience he needs. And for that matter I'd like to see Swanigan get some consistent run too. Let's get the guys some legit experience to make good decisions at the end of the year.

    Agreed. This team is much worse than the overachieving squad of two years ago, and feels like treadmill mediocrity at best . I just want to see Nurk and Collins develop. I don't know how much losing will affect Nurk but I just don't care for this team, it has no mojo.

    Right now, sure. But, Ed Davis' ceiling is Ed Davis.

    I still think Collins will be the best big man out of the draft.

    I kinda wish we had Bell too. I love watching a really good defensive player. Draymond will help him get better. Ugh.

    I probably already said this, but Zach and Noah should be the only ones seeing regular minutes at PF. Spot minutes for Biggie.

    Stotts is so against Aminu playing SF anymore. I don't get it.

    Vonleh and Collins will be fine for the PF spot. We are actually starting to look good at that position. SF is a serious problem though.

    Makes his shooting more valuable and allows us to be switchier 2-4.

    Stop using this word out of context. Truly. No one hates you and people that say negative things aren't haters.

    If you suck as a poster and someone gives you their blunt honesty, It's not hating. It's giving an opinion.
