Re: The PG spot is the biggest need for the Blazers...

Not much love for Mo Williams in this Milwaukee article:

"So let's get to it with a little unsolicited off-season personnel advice for the new guy.

One of the things that got overlooked in this lost season was Bogut's improvement. You might be able to name one, maybe two big men in the East you'd rather have. Bogut is a piece to build around.

The results from Yi's injury-marred rookie season were mixed at best. He has to get stronger and you'd rather see him play small forward. If the Bucks get lucky in the lottery with Michael Beasley, a position switch could be accommodated. Yi's potential and international marketability make him a definite keeper.

Sessions, who has developed into a nice backup point guard, will become an important piece as the backcourt is sorted out.

Should be traded: Mo Williams or Michael Redd.

The Bucks can't go on with this backcourt. Too much money and too little payoff for a team that must change its perimeter-based character.

Williams, who is not a point guard, should be gone if the Bucks can jump up to draft Derrick Rose or Jerryd Bayless as the starter. But good luck in moving Williams, though, as the Bucks gave him a six-year, $51 million contract last year to keep him around.

And as a maximum-contract player, Redd cannot carry a team as a one-dimensional shooter. The Bucks owe him $51 million over the next three years, so they need to extract his value while they can, especially if O.J. Mayo is there in the draft. This is where Hammond not being afraid to make an unpopular trade might pay off."
