He sure helps. That bolsters their bench which was one of their weaknesses(well, aside from their win in H-Town a couple weeks ago). Does that make Portland a contender to get out of the West? I'm not sold on that yet. But they'll be a tougher out for the Rockets now even if Dwight comes back healthy.
I hope that's the case. Just saying this isn't anything new. Everybody knew they were shopping Afflalo.
whatever happens...happens. if lawson is not available, i don't see us getting a starting caliber PG at the end of this.

afflalo was arron on the block. lawson is their their faux-franchise player like how kevin martin was for a while with the kings.
POR now has 3 guys they can put on Harden (AA, Matthews, Batum), we really need a secondary playmaker badly now.
Last year he had a career year, i'm sure he will be looking much better after the change of scenery to a playoff team.
Alex Kennedy(I know) tweeted that there is tension between Lawson and Nuggets and very possible that he gets dealt. I know its Kennedy but maybe something is there.
If we don't get Dragic, I hope PHX keeps him. It would be funny to see the pending doom in PHX. We will start to see the losses stockpile.
