    I'm glad the deal for hibbert fell thru..  I think it was tooo much $$ when we have the chance to get 2 great pieces for the same amount & as much or more potential...  ;
    I Really think we should go after Javelle Mcgee!!!  Great Length & Defense, athleticism, & huge upside... If we played Leonard, Javelle & L.A  together during stretches,  who could match that level of size, speed, & talent on both ends...?  That would be fun to watch, w/ elliot williams or Lillard at point...  : )

    Also Kaman would be a great pickup, who played very well in N. Orleans last year!!!  Prob. the most under rated & under the radar player of all the F. Agents i've heard are available...  ;
    We should Def. keep Hickson for that all around energy & do it all guy,  bcuz there r' very few like him in the Nba.... 

    Get & keep the best pieces you can & PLAY the talent we have now!!!!!!!!
    DON'T be the blazers of the past who draft, train, bench then trade away superstars, like Randolph, Jermaine Oneil, Webster (potentially) etc...  ;
    PLAY them & let them grow ON the court!!!  That's how all the superstars the last 3 yrs have made a name for themselves & made huge runs in the playoffs.......  Talent on the bench & wasting youth in the D-League is not what makes them champions......  ; )
    Surround them w/ good coaching & veterans, yes..  but give them minutes & watch what happens.....  Blaze in the playoffs - maybe deep - w/in 2 -3 years...  maybe even this 1       : )

    Webster as a potential superstar made me literally laugh out loud.

     Emanuel Lewis' character " Webster" from the t.v. show, has a better chance of being an All Star than Martel Webster.

    Tho' webster is a great shooter & has never been given enough minutes to really know what he can do,
    the point isn't about him.....  it's about portlands' horrible record of drafting, benching, then trading off some great players,  w/out ever giving them a fair chance here.......  ; )
    Just hoping the new Gm & team will change that & give the guys like Elliot,  Lillard,  &  Leonard a chance to play & help the team,  even as they're learning & getting better...  ;

    First need is a centre. And no one will take ten and 13 for 4th or 5th. After like the 10th pick the talent off is huge.

    @Meese, it is quite ironic. They also just so happen to have the planets best player in Lebron James who leads them in rebounding with just over 8 a game.

    Yes, let''s become completely sh*t, because the 2023 draft class in the best since 2003. This kid LeKobe Gasoldridge is the best ever. He is 8"9 with a 35" wingspan. He grew up in 5 century greece with the spartans so we know he''s tough. I heard ...

    @ RipCity14, u nailed it w/ OJ )  I wouldn''t say "Batum is definitely overrated by Blazer fans (maybe by some but I DO think quite highly of him) " I WOULD say that MOST Blazer fans (we) love him MUCH > other fans/pundits )  Hahaha...

    But I feel like worse teams than us would offer that so you never know he might want to come back where it all started... then again he could hate us with a passion and want to go absolutely anywhere else
