heh,the Blazers are "rebuilding" for 2 years now - but this is not really a rebuilding phase,John Nash don't have any idea what he is doing and Talfair was just left to get minutes after Nash failed this season too, Talfair got minutes and the starting role in order to say that this season "is dedicated to the young players".
According to now Marbury is better then Talfair and i want the Blazers to be good NOW!,the "rebuilding" is over! i don't have another 2 years to wait until Talfair will get better - especially if i can get someone like Rashed Mccants in that draft anyway.
There are enough teams in the league thats waiting for theyre young players to become "stars", The Blazers are even more pathetic because theyre also starting to give out too much money for old players who don't contribute much and get too much money - because the old guys are untradeble we dont need to be another team like that with Miles,Talfair,Khyrapa,Monya,Baker,Outlaw and Ha-saung yin - the team needs to have more established players.
always remmember that this is the NBA, "potentials" will come and go in large amounts but the oppiste of "players with potential" which is players who are using their potential and proving themself are harder to find.
But thats a stupid trade idea anyway cuz I.Thomas was brought in order to get the knicks better immediatly,it doesnt make any sence that he'll trade Marbury and an 8th pick for "future star".
