RANTS ABOUT CARMELO, TRADES AND MORE!

Peeps in Plaid

The Trail Blazers added 10x All-Star and former scoring champion Carmelo Anthony, waived Pau Gasol due to injury recovery and lost 3 of 4 in the last week including a loss to the depleted New Orleans Pelicans without Dame in Carmelo's first game in over a year. Christian rants and Austin gets in a few words too, while avoiding discussion on the heartbreak of the last few weeks. Who/What are the most important trade assets for the Blazers? What is +/- and is it important? What is the outlook for the Blazers season? Is there still potential to win the Championship? Thanks for all the input so far!
