General opinion of each Blazer

This is a thumbs up/thumbs down, good/bad, like 'em/don't like 'em, trade 'em/don't trade 'em thread involving each player. Who ever comes closest, as far as whether the players they like or don't like are on the team at the start of trainnig camp next year, wins a dollar. I don't want any explanations or rationalizations for why you think guys will or will not be on the team next year. Just give a here or gone. Time will give us all the explanations and rationalizations we need.

Sheed- Gone
Bonzi- Here
Damon- Here
Patterson- Gone
Anderson- Here
Pippen- Gone
Woods- Here
Davis- Here
Daniels- Gone
Randolph- Here
McInnis- Gone

Re: General opinion of each Blazer

My wishlist:

Sheed- Here
Bonzi- Here
Damon- Gone
Patterson- Here
Anderson- Here
Pippen- Here
Woods- Here
Davis- Here
Daniels- Here
Randolph- Here
McInnis- Gone

Add Gary Payton for the MLE, move Bonzi to shooting guard, Pippen to small forward, Wallace to center and Randolph starting at power forward, and bring Patterson, DA, Woods and Davis off the bench.

That would be fun to see.

Re: General opinion of each Blazer

Well, I think I'd have it this way.

Sheed- Gone
Bonzi- Here
Damon- Gone
Patterson- Gone
Anderson- Here
Pippen- Here
Woods- Here
Davis- Here
Daniels- Here
Randolph- Here
McInnis- Gone

Get someone decent plus a good draft pick for Sheed.

Package Damon and Patterson for Payton and whatever garbage Milwaukee wants to unload.

Get a draft pick for Jeff McInnis.

Because it's goes without saying that he's gonna stay. He's repeatedly stated that he won't play for another team. We don't have another center to take his place. He's a basketball god. There's many other reasons as well.

Well that depends. Do you want people to know what your real feelings are (should) or do you want a chance at winning the dollar (will)

Two questions - Ed O... do you have Sheed staying or going? Based on your past posts, I'm going to assume you've got him staying.

Also just wondering - I've got Daniels and McInnis reversed in terms of who stays and who goes. I see McInnis as part of what's wrong with the team in terms of attitude - plus his best friend on the team was Wallace who I believe will be leaving... Daniels I thought proved himself to be a very capable defender and a good offensive option when he got the chance - plus his dunk over Kirilenko was the stuff of legend.

However, I did like McInnis' ability to drive and pull up for those 8-10 foot jumpers and his going-glass bank shots. I'm not really committed either way, but Daniels struck me as the more athletic and more versatile of the two, and the more positive guy in the locker room.
