    See, Morey is smart. You have to keep trading players and turn over the roster or else you end up like the Blazers and lose games due to excessive chemistry.

    That ridiculousness aside, the Blazers are one snakebit team. Had to cut loose Brandon Roy and Oden hasn't played at all (and I wasn't the only one saying to skip Oden and go for Durant, a sure thing if there ever was one).

    The pre-draft that year basically said the opposite, lol, that Greg Oden was a franchise C and sure thing. And that KD was too thin for the NBA. I thought Durant too, but, I am also a huge Longhorns homer.

    Thats ridiculous. It should be easier to call them out if they get along.

    Sounds more like the players don't care enough or are lacking a leader or two.

    His hair is irrelevant. The problem is that he's pretty much stuck with that face for the rest of his life.

    Roy's absence leaves a giant leadership void on that team. For the last several years, he's been their undisputed alpha dog on the court and in the locker room and everyone answered to him. This could be a season-long problem they can't resolve. Their nice collection of talent won't live up to it's potential.

    They miss Roy's huge personality more than his talent on the floor.

    Yeah, pretty much...that's what they lost in Andre Miller also. Kurt Thmas needs to step up. Gwallace too.

    I don't know if Gerald Wallace is the type of guy to get in the face of other players behind the scenes. I doubt Kurt Thomas is either.

    Agree with you on Andre Miller.

    That's especially concerning, it's not like they're a young team. Crawford and Wallace have been around the NBA, and Camby's been in the league forever and was the sage for the Clippers.

    Sounds like a coaching probelm.
