Doesn't matter who starts. It matters who gets the big minutes. I'd honestly rather have Blake start so that we don't have to suffer through a Blake/Rudy off the bench together situation. Blake's time is best spent with Roy. I think Miller will be effective no matter who is on the floor. I...

Assuming no injuries to anyone on our team I'd say we are likely to end the season anywhere between 7th and 4th. Dallas, San Antonio, and Boston are all possibly better than us next year. They are also all old and likely to have troubles with injuries. Depending on how well Dallas and San...

It doesn't matter who starts. It matters who gets more minutes and who plays with who. If Miller gets 28-32 mpg off the bench and Blake gets 16-20 mpg while starting I think we're fine Does anyone really think Blake + Rudy should share any minutes in the back court? That back court would be...

I love that Mass has nearly the same votes for rondo as roy.

Poll on ESPN, who would you draft in 06. Looks like the nation has noticed the northwest a little at least. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/fp/flashPollResultsState?sportIndex=nba&pollId=75666

Sabonis deserves honorable mention. We never saw him in his prime against the best centers in the world but his team was dominant in europe. Even in his 30's with two bad legs he gave prime time shaq as much as he could handle. Sabonis was possibly the best passing center all time, he had 3...

Not that Nate would likely consider this but if you start batum/roy/rudy you have 1 weak link on D. As long as the other team isn't stacked 1-3 you put rudy on the scrub, batum on the main threat and brandon on the secondary threat. I'm unsure though optimistic about extended minutes with this...

We're signing Shaq? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If he can play 30 mpg for us and give us the flexibility to move Pryz for another piece we need I think we're making the right move in signing him. If Utah matches and he stays we've hurt a rival and hopefully opened up other trading...

Keep the cap space, wait into the season for teams who are overpaying and not doing well to become ready to dump salary, make a lopsided trade.

Websters a more consistent defender and three point shooter. Sure he's not as good at creating his own shot but he doesn't force it up when he has nothing. Plus he had an excuse for not scoring in the playoffs :lol:

. . . Lebron James for Oden strait up? No, I wouldn't take that cause if Cleveland is looking to move James it's cause he's going to New York for sure and there's no way we'd be able to keep him if they can't. I think I'll stick with Oden. :drumroll:' Anyway as far as the real discussion goes...

To clarify I think he's going to make moves for cap space at the draft, then find the best deal possible during the season, likely at the trade deadline. -I think he'll do this because the reason that has been stated in the past for him not making mid season deals is it messes up chemistry...

Perhaps KP decided RLEC was more valuable to us so that we have cap space to play with this summer? It's not possible to evaluate the RLEC decision until after this coming years trade deadline and seeing what happens with the cap space. You think the strategy has failed? Would it be your...

Agreed. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if we head into next season with the minimum allowed players on our roster. I don't think it's a 'KP overvalues his players' problem. I think it's a 'many players on the blazers roster are more valuable to us than they are to other teams/what we'd be...
