Obviouslywe're far enough into the season to all agree to just blow the team up (common' already!). Here's a breakdown of the team thus far:

Gerald Wallaceputs up monster games and then disappears. TRADE HIM!

Jamal Crawfordshoots first and is only 90% of the player he was 2 years ago (when he was the 6th man of the year). TRADE HIM!

Nic Batum (who is leaving the team since a deal hasn't already been completed) is not the skinny French LeBron we were all promised. TRADE HIM!

我们付出了高额Wesley Matthews(he's making $6 million. Can you believe that?). TRADE HIM!

Marcus CambyandKurt Thomas, though considered crafty veterans, are old (hence the termveteran). TRADE THEM!

LaMarcus is soft. That's right-- Soft. TRADE HIM!

Chris Johnson是豆腐。交易他！

Luke BabbittandArmon Johnsonwent to UNR (that's in Nevada). TRADE THEM! (btw,Nolan Smithwent to Duke.... DUKE! That school barely even has a basketball program. TRADE HIM while you're at it)

Though he can jump out of the building, apparently Elliot Williams often (not all the time) smells bad. TRADE HIM!

Greg Odenonly当他参加游戏时，他会占主导地位，这并不经常。交易他！

Raymond Felton, well, don't get me started on Raymond Felton. That out-of-shape, cupcake-loving mother (shut yo' mouth!) isliterallyfast-breaking this team into the ground. Where is the young Steve Nash All Star MVPRaymond Felton of theNuggetsandKnicks, who was assisting more and hitting the 3 at a much higher clip? I mean, he's had, like, a full month to gaincompletefamiliarity with the team and Sarge. TRADE HIM?! Heck, let's chase him out of Portland, nay, theUnited States,FOREVER.

I bet you're wondering whereCraig Smithis in all of this. Well, I'll tell you. As a previous Ben or Dave post made mention, the Rhino is actually exceeding expectations (and boy!, did we havehugeexpectations for Craig coming into the season [it's hard to exceed zero expectations]). Sure, he's undersized, overpaid, has zero offense, can't rebound, and barely passes for an inside presence on the team,however, he's exceeding expectations. You, my friend, are not the weakest link (yup, I just dropped in that reference).

But the guy who will likely make the biggest difference in the league for the Blazers will be-- you guessed it-- DIEBLER. Jon Diebler. Or J(ay) Die as he's known to his friends. Basically,HE NEVER MISSES...

Okay, he did miss that second shot. And his 16th shot. Plus, his 49th shot, but that one was in-and-out.

In Conclusion...
