As fruitful as the upcoming draft is, I am not in any hurry to go into "full rebuild mode" and would rather see us go in the "reload" direction. Maybe if LA was a few years younger I would be more excited about pairing him with (INSERT KU PLAYER HERE).
The Trailblazer's draft picks, cap space, and select current personnel make it very likely that the "reload" option would bear immediate success. I have put together my latest dream roster which you can see after the jump. Interested in what others think. I would like to see Lin understudy Nash for two seasons and then have Nash support Lin off the bench for our first NBA Championship since 1977!
