Are you seriously putting David Lee on the same level as Roy, LMA and Oden?

Please seek immediate medical attention for the blunt force trauma you have received to the skull

And since most of the Portland fans have come here from there board, what do you guys think of Martell Webster? Is he the future 3 of the team? I felt that the Blazers selected him a bit early in that particular draft but actually liked the kids game. I've seen his game with Portland only on occasion since I'm out in PA. When I have seen him, they have been pretty long looks, so I think I have a feel of where his game is at. He looks very fluid with his movement on the court be still appears to be underachieving which I'm thinking is a loss in confidence. I've also noticed that outside of shooting the ball, the Blazers don't really have much use for him. With his body and length, I thought he'd have a couple plays run for him where he catches the ball on the block. He shows an excellent understanding of the game and I feel he'd be able to find quite a few cutters based off of his instinct alone.

you bring up an excellent point. That is pretty much it. The guy has a pretty high ceiling. Thing is, his confidence is lacking. He had 24 points in the 3rd QTR vs. Utah, which was insane. But then the next night he will shoot 2 shots, have 2 points and do nothing else. He just disapears. I remember him gettin like 13 mins in a first half and having no stat, no foul, no turnover, rebound, assist, shot, points, anything except for minutes.

One thing about him is that his defense is gettin much better. Its awesome. He is not the future 3 of this team, but i like him as a backup SG. As a role player.

We picked him over Paul... Oh god..

oh well. If we got paul, chances are we wouldn't have ended up with Roy, Aldridge and Oden in a 2 year span.

I'm really intesrested to see what NY does. They have some players that play hard, but ppl like Randolph, Curry, Marbury just do not work. I wanna see how they get rid of those contracts, and bring players with a good attitude that will play hard every night.

Maybe you guys end up with someone like Mayo...

Robinson
Mayo
?
Lee
?

Maybe play crawford at the 3? idk. But its a start. Ya'll will be ok.

Did you just call Curry a potential franchise big man..?

And lol at all the Blazer fans running in here (I don't blame you, I blame DaRizzle

)

Blazers got offered KG, Melo and reportedly Duncan for the rights to Oden. That is all I really have to say.

Confusing. From everything I can tell, he's been considered a msssive disappointment on the two teams he's been on...a hoped-for franchise player who was never motivated to actually produce like one.

Quote:

in addition to get some financial flexibility sooner since we'd take on Miles' and LaFrentz's contract.

This is also confusing. LaFrentz is an expiring contract. New York would be getting financial flexibility, not Portland, if he were dealt to New York. Similarly, Miles' contract is likely to come off the books due to a "forced retirement" process (the player still gets paid, but his salary doesn't count against the cap), so he too is flexibility for the team who has him. These are both trade assets, not deficits.

it makes sense they declined those, if that is true.

Melo = no defense, too many shots to fit in with Roy and Aldridge. Roy is our man with the ball in the clutch and our creater.

KG = We had Aldridge, who was a wonderful compliment to Oden. KG is a PF. With Aldridge, we would be better to have a Center, since Aldridge is a PF, than have a PF (garnett) next to another PF (Aldridge) who play very similar styles.

Duncan = Getting older. PF arguement works here except for Duncan and Aldridge play much differently. This would be pretty cool, but meh, i'd still take Oden, who would give you 10+ years of being a contender, while Duncan will give you 3 more.

Anyway. Later Knick board.
