    All these trade rumors are making me a bit nervous.  I'm fairly confident the blazers wouldn't trade away any of our leaders but you never can tell.  I'd really like to see what this team can do AS A TEAM once we can get them all healthy and playing at the same time!  I think it would make for a fantastic finish to the season to get Roy and Camby back in the mix, and look forward to Oden returning as well !

    I swear. If they trade Brandon Roy or L.A. i would not be a blazer fan. Trading anyone else would push my buttons as well, we don't need anyone. The fact that we're at the seed we're at without roy, camby and oden is saying ALOT about our team.


    Brandon roy injury was a blessing in disguise (if he stay healthy) because L.A. had a breakout season.


    Now roy can safely score 20+ a night and aldridge can do the same. If roy is struggling he can make plays for L.A.


    Our team is amazing, we've been unfortunate but patience is the key. We need to go to the playoffs 100% healthy and with 100% chemistry before we know what needs to be added to our team.

    Mr. Cho has showed no reason to distrust his judgment so far and has showed excellent patience.  I have to believe that he will make a move if and when it benefits the team only. We are a team of average talent right now if you look at the big picture.  We have a tremendous asset in our coach who squeezes wins even when we are outmatched.  What is clear is that Nate deserves a chance to coach a team with equal or superior talent to the great teams of our era, and Blazers fans deserve to see the results!  Go Blazers!

    Since we are right now sitting at the 5th seed in the playoff race and over half of our starting lineup is the bench I would have to honestly say we have an above average talent on this team. With all the injuries who could have blamed us if we had of rolled over and died like Cleveland? As far as Cho goes he has not showed me anything so he still gets an A. Once he starts screwing up or making good deals ...and I am sure there will be both...Than I can have an opinion. Right now the waiting part I think is more management as a whole than just Cho. Carmello Also has a huge part in this. He has effectively locked up the entire trade machine. Everyone is waiting on him so no one is doing anything. February 24th at 11:59 will be real busy in upper management across the NBA I bet.

    Yes, I am aware that a great deal of our talent is still sitting on the bench and if/when they return they may push our talent level much higher.  I am following the bird-in-the-hand theory and addressing what we have to work with on a nightly basis right now. I would also agree with you that Carmello, as LBJ did earlier this season, has a stranglehold on the trade process.  This week should witness the domino effect. 

    It will be interesting to see Mr. Cho's strategy.  I remember an earlier interview where he talked about his player talent board and I can't imagine he would trade "down" talentwise even temporarily with his meticulous nature.

    I'm fine with anyone being traded besides mathews and aldridge, their contracts and skill level aren't inhibitors towards being a successful franchise, although we won't get out of the second round with roy as a blazer unless we were able to restructure his contract (which won't happen).
