Utah and Houston still fighting for playoff positioning.
Blazers look like a first round out now. But, it’s their last home game of the season.
Lillard just might put on one of his patented nuclear performances.
He’s up for an extension and a Supermax.

Intention to stay with the Blazers.
How can you not love a player like that.

Only symbolic now.....even if not, it doesn't really matter as a game or 2 off .500 is still close enough. Its been a good season historically but hollowed out by their late slump to a fair degree. It brings about some skepticism with the trade. Unless Barnes has a renaissance in his play on offense, they aren't paying him all-star salary for slightly above average play the season after next. This is exactly the same question they will deal with this offseason with Stein. His play and team continuity warrants going after him, but if he has an inflated sense of his salary-worth, they may have to cut bait. Its difficult though because either way you look at it, Stein is still the Kings best front-court on the ball-defender - his lateral quickness is elite for his size - maybe the best in the league. FTs are a big bugaboo though.
I think on the dot but I do think it's time to shift the focus towards seeing what Frank and Swanigan can bring. Maybe some call ups as well. Lets see what Stockton has to offer. Lets see if Gabriel can show what he's got. If winning is the result great, but riding the backs of players like Kosta Koufos doesn't do anything for the future of the team if they aren't here to help in the long run.
