Now that the Paul trade looks like it is finally going down, there could be a domino effect. Are Chris Kaman or Emeka Okafor in the Hornets rebuilding plan? Maybe one, but not both. Portland could...

Portland is likely to add one more free agent before we are all done. There are still some serviceable power forwards and shooting guards left. Let's take a look at some of the shooting guards we...

While it isn't quite the same as a few years ago, when we had a myriad of young talent, and the youngest team in the league, we do have some potentially good pieces. For better-or-worse, they...

Finally, the NBA lockout has an end in sight. We might actually be able to talk about player movement without the inevitable "there's a lockout and no CBA so we shouldn't discuss player movement"...

If the NBA season is canceled, which appears more and more likely every day, they will have to figure out how to do the draft lottery for 2012. Many have proposed a system similar to that employed...

Yes, I know the Blazers are well over the cap. I know that Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, and Deron Williams will almost certainly never play a home game at the Rose Garden. But what if?... Rumors that...

Unless Greg Oden can stay healthy, Camby maintains a decent level of play, and Chris Johnson is better than thought, the Blazers clearly need another big man.  We already took a look at free agent...

Besides the one-and-a-half good players we snagged in 2006, how many good draft days have we had? How many opportunities have we missed to be a great team? Despite his popularity, Kevin Pritchard...

Besides annoying the crap out of every good fan, the lockout affects more than just rich people's pocketbooks. There are the Shawn Kemps of the world, coming to camp hugely overweight and out of...

Ever since the lockout started looming, players, owners, management, and fans everywhere have been asking me to write up a solution for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.... Well OK maybe not...

It has become obvious to anyone who follows the Blazers closely that we must look to add a big man or two this off-season (whenever that is). We don't have the money to get a big-time player, but...

Talking about the 21st pick, Chad Buchanan said: "I think we're down to about three guards and we've got about two bigs that we like that are still in the mix for us, about five guys total." T...

The Blazers right now are kind of stuck in between contending for a championship and building for the future. I think they still have a shot at contending with some good moves though. It is also...

While much has been made about how bad this draft class is, I think that there will end up being a lot of nice role players coming out of it. The 2009 draft was supposed to be weak while the 2010...

The other day I had a random thought: what if the Blazers were LOTR characters? Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and the Blazers are two of my favorite things, so that helps to explain my nerddom. W...

For years we have been looking for the elusive PGOTF. Andre has done a good job, but won't last forever (and we could use some shooting). We may simply look for a backup in free agency, but these...

Who do you guys think we may take in the draft? I don't follow college basketball very closely, though I have been reading a little about the draft, so am interested in reading everyone's thoughts. ...

Here is a quick run down of how our off-season should go down, provided we don't do any major trades: 1. Draft a big-man prospect: Never know who will turn in to the next Serge Ibaka or DeAndre...

Seriously, Kevin McHale is driving me insane with his gushing about J.J. Barea. It's gotten to be a joke now, I listen everytime to see what he has to say about him. Seems like every time Barea is...

One reason why we may have a chance in the playoffs is that several of our guys up their numbers in the playoffs. Andre Miller scores 2.4 more points per-game postseason (14.4 to 16.8) including...

If you extrapolate his stats for a 48 minutes a game, Barron's Blazer averages are about 150 PPG and 75 RPG (not to mention 100% FG). Also, how can you beat having the only guy with two noble...

Jeff Adrien, Dwayne Jones, or Earl Barron. I don't know get the point of having Marks. All of these guys might actually be able to log a lot of minutes. Adrien is undersized but produces pretty...

New Jersey may finally be getting a deal that lands them Carmelo Anthony, one that includes Detroit as well and a large number of players. Denver doesn't seem too excited about taking Devin Harris,...
