Blazers are imploding. They traded Batum and didn't get much and now they will probably lose Aldridge. Lillard might be the only star left and he can't carry a team. This opens up a playoff spot in the West.

Most desired guys so far on the trade market have been Ridnour and Barnes. Lol

I am asking a serious question why should we want Cody Zeller?

I guess because you feel he will be an upgrade over what we have currently and can be a rotation player. I would probably go with Portis over him at this point.

But isn't Martin already a rotation player?

The guy scored 28 or more points in more than 1/4 of his games last season. And that contract actually seems better by the day. If the guy is willing to stay here without complaining as the younger crew slowly takes over... I don't know why he shouldn't remain.


[Note: Has LaVine shown that much consistency for that kind of move this soon?]

Zeller improved across the board last year and he's still only 22. I wouldn't trade Martin for him, but maybe Bud and Bennett get it done to give them more 3pt shooting around Al and they still get a young guy with potential back. Bennett's going to be a better floor spacer than Zeller. Or maybe now that they've secure wing shooting they might just take Kaminsky at their draft spot to be a floor spacing big. That would obviously cancel out the need for my proposed Bud/Bennett deal.

Did anyone else see this? Ouch. Lol

Oh my. They will be looking to trade for Tyus. I wonder how many future 1st's we will get for him.

Now that I've look at it a bit more, it's much to do about nothing. I don't think it was put down with disgust or anything. But it is easy to look at this brief snippet and assume it is all bad.

How do you get your players to buy into the trainwreck that is the 76ers? Talk about demoralizing.

Anybody else enjoying how his arrogance blew up in his face? He was very open about not being upset if the Wolves passed on him so he could play for the Lakers!! Somehow I can't believe the Wolves aren't looking like a tasty option right now!!

Ok so I guess there was a table there and I wasn't taking it a big deal even if there wasn't but it was kinda funny.
