Quite a few trades have been tossed out there involving us sending out LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, and/or Wesley Matthews and rebuilding around Damian Lillard and other young players. While...

As you all know the NBA draft lotto is being held tonight, with Damian Lillard representing the Blazers. Of course, we have had great luck in draft lottos when we are represented by a Rookie of the...

Common opinion (which is probably correct) is that we are a few years from contention, and that is if things go well for us. Unless of course, we pull off a miracle off-season (Dwight!). But if we...

The idea that we could trade for Al Horford seems a bit too hopeful as he is one of the better big men in the L. But it might not be waaaaay far fetched. It is not all the unrealistic to think...

Everybody else is doing it.... I like to put up a well-thought (although not always realistic) off-season plan around this time anyway. I know there are never enough couch GMs so for your...

Hey Suns' fans! Portland Trail Blazer fan here. I am curious what you guys think about a Gortat trade. I think it is assumed that Phoenix will look to move him because he is towards the end of...

Now that the exciting 2013 NBA trade deadline, in which big names like JJ Redick, Beno Udrih, Sebastian Telfair ,and Charles Jenkins changed teams (pardon me while I have a big fat yawn) time to...

Well, it was fun imagining for awhile that the Blazers could be playoff contenders. This year was supposed to be the year in between, the year of rebuilding and asset acquisition. The play of our...

Every year, there are a couple decent players bought out because they are just not in the right situation. JJ Hickson and Boris Diaw are two examples from last year. If Portland is serious...

Don't get me wrong, I am very much engaged on the current iteration of the Blazer team. I think they young starting lineup is fun to watch, and I am looking forward to seeing what, if anything,...

The Western Conference is brutally tough as usual this year. There are a lot of potentially good teams, but obviously only eight spots. The top is pretty apparent, but who squeaks in to the last...

It's never the wrong time for a trade drawer, is it? Last season I was a strong advocate for the "trade the veterans and get more assets" route. This season, that is not really an option unless...

The off part of the off-season is dragging on, no player movement, no training camp. Slow for NBA news. But there is some breaking news... The NBA has granted you ownership of a new NBA franchise! O...

Lost in all the mourning over the loss of our beloved point guard Raymond Felton, Summer League, and the Batum hoopla, Portland cut ties with veteran center Dan Gadzuric. Thank you for having the...

Assuming we are going to match Batum, we have two more days left to use our cap-space. There are some decent role players left on the market, but probably nobody that will move the needle much. ...

Looks like Neil Olshey and the Blazers are about ready to kick their coaching search up a notch. NBA-types will be congregating in Las Vegas, so that is perfect timing for interviews. Phil Jackson,...

Bradley Beal is the consensus top 2 guard in this draft and should be off the board by the time the Portland Trail Blazers pick. After that though, there are several decent shooting guard prospects...

Draft, trade, free agency? Older vets, players in their prime, young guys with potential? How about a plan that would allow us to win now, while building for the future? Draft Night Draft Drummond...

The Blazers need to add as much young talent as possible. There are some nice players who could be remaining later in the draft. Portland should at least explore looking at acquiring a later first...

With the lottery rapidly approaching, the clock is running out on fantasizing about winning a high draft pick and fretting about the Nets getting in the top three. I thought it would be a good time...

Speculation about landing Deron Williams is usually tossed away by sensible Blazer fans as far-fetched. Considering our history, that is no surprise. But can we dare to hope that this is actually...

I still enjoy watching the Blazers, especially the young players, but it is harder to watch when I am not sure whether to cheer for a win or a loss. That said, like many of us I am now looking...

Besides draft night activities (which I look forward to immensely), re-signing Nicolas Batum will one of the biggest priorities for the Blazers. I took a look at the market for Batum to see which...

We are almost to the deadline finally! It has become increasingly clear to most of us here that we need to make some adjustments via trade. Whether it''s Rondo or Nash (which doesn't look likely),...

January, 2013 GQ Magazine ¡Finalmente, Victor! For years, we've been eagerly awaiting Victor Claver, a Spanish Kevin Durant with the unlimited shooting (and whiteness) of Larry Bird. At long...

Portland is bringing back fan favorite center Joel Przybilla. The merits can be discussed in that post. What I am wondering is, who do you think should be given the boot to make room? Here are some...

EngineerScotty did a nice post on rebuilding. I thought, why not do a trade drawer and get some ideas for all of the different scenarios laid out (with the addition of another category)? One Last...

While Jeremy Lin has been stealing the spotlight recently, there is no denying that Luke Babbitt is on a path to All-Stardom. Many of us always knew that he was going to develop in to a star, but...
