The TRAILBLAZERS lost more than a few defending, stretch players from last year e.g. Harkless, Aminu, Leonard, Turner, Collins (injured), etc ............ what they got in return was Bazemore, Hezonja, Melo & Whiteside - inferior defensively compared to last season.
TRAILBLAZERS fans shouldn't be deceived by Hassan Whiteside's numbers - he's easily one of the most indifferent, laziest players in the NBA.
It's like watching the equivalent of Marlou Aquino.
