It seems their entire starting lineup has left them. since they traded batum could they be looking to rebuild. We can add Brooklyn 2016 and Brooklyn 2018 along with evan turner.

Just going with what Woj says, and Woj is pretty reliable.

Not to mention Vonleh hasn't proved a thing.

Why?  To me it gives them a little protection in case Lopez leaves besides Leonard.  Also, I would rather have Henderson than Batum based on potential, production last year and salaries and when you add in Vonleh it's a very good deal for Portland.

Meh, Batum had become dead weight to them. I don't think this signifies one thing or another.

It could mean they think Batum won't rebound and want to get value for him while they still can.

Adrian Wojnarowski ?@WojYahooNBA 5h5 hours ago

Sources: Blazers didn't make deal as first step of rebuilding. Aldridge was aware of trade, and Blazers did deal independent of free agency."

Supposedly if the Blazers lose Aldridge they will go strong after Monroe...
