I do believe that we should not trade outlaw and blake because of the fact that this was the blazers first playoff round since 6 years ago. To think they could not get better is possible, but the idea of that they could get better also is another thing that we should take into consideration. In addition, these guys got us to 54 wins, and Travis Outlaw was a BIG part of that and same with Steve Blake well.. Steve Blake only saved us once in that buzzer beater with the Raptors with a 3 pointer but hey thats not the only thing he helps us on, its the distribution of the ball and also that 3 pointer he can make. Travis Outlaw can crate his own shot and man he has saved us so many times in the regular season with game winning shots. With the experience they dealt with in the playoffs they could get better or get worse, if it does get to worse then I think we can start talking realsitic trading options. This is what I think the line up should be for the next regular season:

2009 - 2010 line up

SG -

Start - Brandon Roy

Backup - Rudy Fernandez

PG -

Start - Steve Blake

Backup - Jerryd Bayless (not sergio beacuse we need to develop Bayless and do it NOW!)

PF -

Start - LA

Backup - Travis Outlaw

SF -

start - Nic Batum

backup - Martell Webster

Center - ( also we gotta develope Oden and it needs to be now)

Start - Greg Oden

Backup  - Joel Pryzbilla

After watching the finals with the magic and cavs going at it and cavs end up loosing gotta tell you thats a great example of team work agianst the best player in the nba. I hope our trailblazers are watching these games while on vacation and study how the magic play or any team for that matter that lefts in the playoffs. WE need a PF and PG but who can we get? I just cant wait any longer wish the blazer season started right now. Is there anyway to boost and help our team like as for our crowd is concerned? I wonder when the trailblazers will get a new jersey design because they have had that jersey forever but I like the design, original and awesome. I guess really not the PG's and PF's we need its greg oden to step up his game and elevate because he will for sure help us in the paint and with Dwight Howard leading the magic I hope oden is watching the game. I also hope KP can make some miracle trade happen.

What is the blazers Identity? Houstons is defense, PHX suns is offense,  Cleveland is also defense? what is the blazers known for? being an underdog no question always falling behind then winning at the end of the game but what is it? To me I think the blazers will find their identiy in the playoffs if they go far like the Orlando Magics are doing ( they are playing excellent basketball)

In addition, we are only one piece to adding that championship window and that is the PG position and possibly back up PF. Who can we get to fill those spots and also stay productive? Steve Nash, Andre Miller, David Lee, Gerald Wallace? its though thinking about who should be added and leaving or if anything needs to be changed at all, but all I know is that we do need a veteran at least one addition verteran and maybe if possible the thunder team does take Rubio and let go westbrook (if possible) I would take westbrook no question, this guy is in his first year and his stats look great for a rookie. Where do we go if we cant get him? go to bayless? he was always a shooting guard at Arizona so I dont know its a though call.. so though to think about these things is crazy. 

If Steve Nash came here to Portland what would be the great things he would bring and how long could he last before he is really too old? what could andre miller bring that nash cant? If we can get someone really good without giving up too much take the deal. So many people think that Travis Outlaw should go and honestly its kinda of getting annoying people keep telling him to go. This playoffs was Travis Outlaws first year in the playoffs as well as everybody else so its hard to know who to get rid of and who should stay because they can either become slow better, after the learning experience of the playoffs or worse and hopefully it doesnt go there. So many questions and things to think about what do you all think?

There are so many other options but we if are looking at the PG position to be the most important to get us there to the championship I think Davin Harris would work because he is a fast get to the pain guy. That guy can cross over man but then agian is it possible the NewJersey would give him up? What do you guys think? Could we give up.. Sergio, Channing, 24th pick, I dont want to add this but Maybe outlaw, or webster I would rather see webster go than outlaw because Outlaw has saved us plenty of times in the regular season.

Information on the draft

Well it looks like we have another pick but this guy is a PG but that 

Tyler Hansbrough

But we could get.. Paul Millsap possibly, or Carlos Boozer but I like Paul Millsap better HmMm hopefully KP can do some magic here. Our PG position could be covered already with bayless maybe.. but our  backup PF position is not takened by anybody.. except maybe outlaw. I think Paul Millsap would be great in the backup PF

If you guys wants to some videos to watch you guys should go here

http://maxamillion711.com/mixes.html

This guy knows how to make videos no doubt. Some of the videos are blazers which I think are the best anyway check them out. They include, Rip city Revival, A finish to remember with the Celtics, Suns, NY and Rocket games. They should put one of those videos as their starting video when introducing the starters that would be awesome.

All Props go to you maxamillion711

For the power forward position I thought of these people would be a good addition:

David Lee

Does anybody know the situation on Martell how he is healing and all? I thought of maybe if Travis Outlaw still stays here in Portland (  I hope) I was thinking if we cannot get a backup powerforward to backup LA then Travis Outlaw can be the backup and Martell can be the backup  for Batum. As far as the point guard position... Bayless needs to develop, sergio should be gone. Bayless can be the backup for blake.

As far as Rudy getting more minutes.. I am not sure what we can do except what he is doing right now backing up Brandon, I just have heard that he wants a more important rule and if he is gonna become a superstar he needs more minutes but where do you put him?? staring PG, backup PG, or SF???

What do you guys think about that
