I don't think the Blazers wanted to pay anybody once they knew LA was gone. They would have paid more for some guys with LA.

I'm actually really excited. Meyers Leonard and CJ McCollum really showed up in the playoffs. I can't wait to see them get even better. McCollum looked like an all-star vs Memphis. Leonard played great defense.
We still need to get a couple more stars out of the next couple drafts but I'm a lot more hopeful than when we lost Brandon Roy and Greg Oden.

Re: Blazer fans, who else is looking forward to this monumental rebuild?!
Lakers in 2004 that were not there for 2005:
Shaquille O'Neai
Rick Fox
Derek Fisher
Karl Malone
Gary Payton
Horace Grant
Bryon Russell
Jannero Pargo
and other(s).
Oh, and that coach: Phil Jackson
That was a meltdown for the ages.
Still, the Blazers took a pretty good tumble this summer. They do seem to have a decent FO, so it will be interesting to see how they respond. The West is brutal for the 'have-nots' of the NBA, so it could be an ugly season for them as they re-tool as they are suddenly among them.

Lillard will have to take it to another level. He's got a lot to prove next season.

Re: Blazer fans, who else is looking forward to this monumental rebuild?!
I've always liked the Blazers. Lillard is one of my favorite players, so I hope he gets more help soon.

Myers Leonard is a beast in 2K. They list him at 7'2" and he drains 3's.

Lost Phil too and replaced him with Tim Floyd. Easily the worst dismantle ever.

The Jordan effect. When Mike left, the Bulls were like "**** it, we aren't gonna win a championship any time soon"

Re: Blazer fans, who else is looking forward to this monumental rebuild?!
Plumlee will put up big numbers in Portland but the reality is the Blazers lost a lot of expierence and defensive grunt withLopez, Matthews and Batum gone. Obviously losing of the best scoring bigs in the league dosent help.
