Can't see them being a threat this upcoming year, which I don't mind. Cus now we gotta watch for OKC returning back to the picture.
They're not very good now, and most of those guys have hit their potential as role players. They remind me a little of the Rockets before Harden and Howard.
i like what they've done, damn what else could they do (once LMA bailed), maybe Lillard is not a number 1, but he's at least a star, and then around them they have one cheapish talent, nearly all of which has upside (maybe none of them become even number 3s). the bucks and the jazz get praised and maybe they are ahead of the blazers by a few years but neither of them have a player of Lillards talent, they should most definitely tank this year (damn simmons would be nice on that team) and then pray they can land someone (overpay) next free agency, maybe they'll lose alot but it would appear they'll play hard and have a bunch of young talent that should get better with playing time (after it blows up like it did you can't ask for much more if you were a blazers fan)
