The combo of a healthy Lillard/Hart backcourt DOES do something for me.

It’s an unpopular stance but IMHO Simons is best suited as a 6th man, same as CJ always was.

Blazers need that next level SF/PF piece. They aren’t ever going to achieve in the Lillard era without it. Sadly, there just aren’t enough of those to be had.


Dort IMO could likely be flipped for something like a 16 pick to ATL, so if one does not like Dort we can probably add a decent pick and keep it or flip it for Grant, Grant is not my choice but it would give us that option

:( This trade makes no sense to me, someone tell me why we would trade Norman Powell just to get the same kind of player back in Lou Dort...
