Hey, I'm all in favor. But remember, he'll be playing for Spain this Summer, along with Rudy Fernandez, Sergio Rodriguez and Victor Claver. You think they're likely to sing the praises of their time in Portland?
I'd bring back Sergio in a heartbeat. He looks like he's polished his game to not be so turnover-prone.
Turnovers were only 1/2 the problem with Sergio - his piss-poor shooting was a big deal as well. I would bring him back just for the biblical beard... however.
1/3 of the problem. He also played ridiculously piss poor defense. But, based on his recent play in the minors, he seems to addressed the first two of those problems - something he failed miserably at in his four seasons in the NBA. Maybe the demotion motivated him to actually work on his weaknesses. Maybe he's earned another shot at the big leagues... BNM
I would like to think that it was our previous coach (McMillan) that they didn't care for moreso than Portland itself as a town and basketball team.
