This is a really interesting take. I hadn't thought about how well each player would compliment Aldridge nor did I know there was a Hibbert/Shaw connection. I had been quitely hoping Shaw might get the nod as the head coach anyway. It will be fun to watch this develop. Summers (as far as...
I guess I'm puzzled. I like Hibbert but I like Lopez more. I realize he had an injury but I would still offer him a max contract before Hibbert. Maybe they don't think there's any chance of Brooklyn not matching?
I also would not match that offer to Batum and I probably would have drafted Lamb...
This seems to be a common belief for many people. What bothers me is that I also remember Kevin Johnson and Isaiah Thomas. If you're good at distrbuting the ball AND scoring then that's when it's okay. In fact it's devastating to a defense. I don't know if Lilliard is that kind of PG or not but...
He reminds me of Ralph Sampson. He's a better rebounder at center. Aldridge is actually a bit of a tweener and with a little more bulk would look very good at center. Unfortunately he doesn't think so. I think it's his best position.
I couldn't agree more. I'm always surprised by how little criticism Allen receives for the handling of this team. He's either disconnected enough to have some bozo at Vulcan make decisions for him or he's too hands on and should listen to his baskeball execs. I'm not sure which one it is but...
Tell me which player they gave up that has the makings of an NBA championship team? Just because they gave up their best player doesn't mean the Blazers would have to. It wasn't that high of a price to move up that far. Hopefully cutting Cho loose and the subsequent handling of the draft will...
What I found interesting about Charlotte's draft is that it appears that it could have been Portland's draft. One of my concerns about Cho was whether he could orchestrate a good trade. Quite bluntly I think we may all look back on this draft and realize that we could have chosen at 7 or 9...
I would be willing to trade Oden and Roy for John Wall and Brook Lopez in the off season. I know that's a shocking thought for some of you but the bottom line is we have plenty of guys who can play two guard. I would even do it knowing that Roy and Oden would always be the more talented players...
Wow, my impression of Nick Collison just went up exponentially. Talk about a stand up guy. I can't believe he didn't lose his temper. Most athletes just don't have that kind of self control. He defused the entire issue and really made the host sound ridiculous. He can come back to the NW in a...
