Re: Blazers trade for DJ, er, ah, Jerryd
Bayless just makes so much sense for this team, I liked Westbrook and Gordon, but you can see how Jerryd could fit this roster very very well.
Can bring the ball up, but not enough of a ball dominating PG to take it out of BRoy's hands. He's a very good shooter and can certainly play off the ball, plus he's got the handles to penetrate and he draws a TON of FTs. Defensively he was just a notch below Westbrook/Mayo IMHO, one of the best in this draft with the athletic ability to be a very good defender of PGs with Nate's coaching, only knock defensively is the T-Rex arms but he'll have big time shotblocking behind him to erase some penetration.
I'm so fricken excited!

Re: Blazers trade for DJ, er, ah, Jerryd
Bayless is a guy most of us wanted more than anyone other than Rose about 3 monhs ago. Funny how calm it is around here.

That's true...it'll be disappointing if it doesn't materialize.
But Rush is such a mediocre pick, it's hard to believe Pritchard targeting him.

Re: Blazers trade for DJ, er, ah, Jerryd
Bayless is bad defensivley, but is very talented still. He is much like a combo of Monta Ellis/Barbosa with a bit less true scoring instinct and a bit more overall playmaking skill.
He is going to fit excellently next to Roy.

I don't know, the thing about Bayless is he isn't a true PG and he's too small to be a 2. His ballhandling isn't near the best in this draft and his defense needs work. But I like him on our team more than Rush and I sure like the trade. GO KP!

This isn't fair, Bayless, Ross, Outlaw, Aldridge, and Oden. Your team will destroy for teams to come.

Re: Blazers trade for DJ, er, ah, Jerryd
Well, congratulations. Pritchard just showed again that he is one of the, if not the best GM in the league.

Thanks for the compliments guys. KP is honestly one of the nicest guys too. He's an amazing talent at his job.
