Thanks to Olshey doing nothing to build around Lillard, I hope the Blazers trade him to either LA or GS or wherever he can go to win and win big. Portland is wasting the guys prime years of his career. What does Portland need? Blazers need a solid SF and or PF. What do they do this off-season? Draft an inexperienced guard and then signs two guards....really? And they still kept CJ.
Lillard, CJ, Nurk and a solid 3 or 4 man could give the Blazers the pieces they need to make progress to the 2nd round of the postseason. Now, they did what they did and GS/LA did what they did. OKC did what they did, Utah has what they have, Spurs will do what they do and with that, Portland is done for while these super teams form out West.
To show respect for Lillard and all he has done for Portland, I would trade him to one of these contenders. Guy deserves it, and it won't happen in Portland. Portland needs their own trust the process and maybe in 6 years when all these super nova teams dissolve they'll be ready to make a deep run in the playoffs.
That's whack.
So any good player on a team that isn't destined to win a title 'deserves' to be traded to one that very well might? Like it's an obligation?
Right.
