If Lilliards summer league translates at all into the regular season then I think we have found that. I don't expect 26 points a game from him but he can be a great scorer after a year or two. Also, on nba.com so far 47 percent of fans voted that they believe Lilliard will have the best year. And B...

Do what Nate never did and let the young guy play. If we don't get a big time center then start Meyers.

The Blazers said they will match any offer Batum gets. He isn't moving anywhere. And all the "Batum wants out of Portland" rumors were started by Dwight Jaynes. I do not believe a word of it. When he came up with rumors that Allen had all but sold the team, Paul Allen looked dead at Jaynes during a...

You're right. We probably shouldn't sign an all star center. We don't need one or anything.

Word has it that Dragic will no longer be pursued by Portland. Also, some Blazers reps are meeting with Omer Asik. Rumor has it that our new GM has flown to an undisclosed location to meet with their "top free agent target." Interesting.. Wonder who they are going after.

Naa. We need a point guard and a center. While Tyreke was supposed to be a point guard, there are much better options in free agency. Pass on Evans.

1. I like this idea if and Sacramento is serious about not offering an extension to Evans then that trade should go through no problem.
2. Maybe we could entice JR Smith to not invoke his player option? That would solve our shooting guard issue after trading Wes. I think that would be ...

We did what we needed to do drafting Oden. We needed a center, we already had Roy and Aldridge. Didn't need to get Durant too. Obviously, you never know how good a player is going to be. Remember, two teams passed on Michael Jordan. You couldn't know that Durant was going to skyrocket to the level ...

I don't like the backups at all. Elliot Williams and Joel Freeland is one thing, but we need a point guard and a center. Kyle Lowry is nice, but we need somebody like Steve Nash or Jason Kidd if were going to keep Nolan Smith around so he has somebody with that kind of experience to learn from. As ...

He won't have a contract, we can pick him up if we want.
