    Blazer fans are getting restless with a team that losses. We have a a stick of bad luck this year with our team as far as roy retiring oden pretty  much retiring and the off court issues of our vets (Camby, Felton, Crwaford, Wallace) But now the management has to do something drastic to keep the fans coming back to buy season tickets. First is first, we need to get a GM a real GM, and not one paul allen will fire just because he doesn't like him. And I see two scenarios where the blazers come back into title contetion in one off-season. option 1, There has been a lot of talk about Dwill now our chances may be slim but Aldridge and Dwill are close friends and that might be enough to bring him here. Now if we get Dwill we have to use our draft to get Andre Drummond, he has raw abilities even though he is somewhat lazy. We dont need an all star at the center position just a solid young athletic guy and that is what Drummond brings to the table so in option 1 starting line up is PG- Dwill, SG- Wesley, SF- Batum, PF- Aldridge, C- Drummond. Now option 2 I personally like a little more. First on our list has to be a PG and I think that we can get Rondo for fairly cheap, like a sign and trade with Felton/crawford ad throw in wesley or a Kurt or young prospects like Nolan, and give up our later lottery pick. Now that we have gotten rid of wesley acquiring Rondo we need a SG, we should use the nets pick to get Bradley Beal out of Florida. I think he might be one of the best complete scorers in the draft and people are comparing him to a young Ray Allen. This still leaves our center problem unsolved. We have not used any money on free agency yet, this is where we can pick up a great center and this years all star in Roy Hibbert even if it might cost a max contract. Hibbert is about 7'2 big strong mobile great defender and rebounder, and can do enough offensively to take pressure off of Aldridge. So in option 2 starting lineup is PG- Rondo, SG- Bradley Beal, SF- Batum, PF- Aldridge, C- Roy Hibbert I really like this idea. But whatever it is the Management has to make a SPLASH

    Babbitt is saving the Blazers, fans go nuts over this guy. Sign and trade Batum, then start Babbitt. Who cares if we still stink next year? As long as Babbitt gives fans Chalupas, and we get another draft pick after failing to make the playoffs, who wouldn't want to see more stellar 32 point home losses eh? GO BLAZERS!

    HAHA , well I actually would like to trade Batum because his trade value is worth way more than is actual value right now. But I didn't say anything about him because there no way the Blazers are gonna trade him

    First off Damian- Jack will make a lot more than 4 million next year. At minimum he will get a couple MLE offers starting at 5.15 million. Tony Allen will also get many MLE offers so to sign either will take at least 6 million probably closer to 8...

    Unholy your failing to account for a few things. One Tony Allen has significantly outplayed his 3.3 million a year contract. He will get several MLE offers which starts at 5.15 million. So if you want him it will take at least that much probably m...

    Rookies are fine a team should be able to carry 5 of them easily. The problem with us last year was we had no depth in front of the rookies. Lillard and Leonard as lottery picks should have gotten lots of playing time, which they did. However, Bar...

    Thanks Ricky.   I''ll be watching @ 10.   Haven''t seen enough right hand from Shazamm.   Without the ability to take his defender either way off the bounce, let alone finish at the cup with either hand?   Second rounder at best.
