With all of the talk about trades and the draft and moving up or moving out and using assets to go get guys it got me to thinking about the Blazers I would least like to have to play against us in the next 5-10 years.
For the sake of argument exclude any of the big three since they're not going anywhere (super unlikely at any rate). But of the remaining Blazers currently under contract (no votes for free agents like Stud Ruffin, Frye or Shavlik) who would you fear the most in another uniform and the least; you can explain if you like.
top three Blazers I fear seeing in another uniform:
1. Bayless -- I still think he's going to be pretty good and I can only imagine how freaky scary he'd be if had a chip on his shoulder against the Blazers if they traded him away.
2. Rudy -- Dear God I can just envision threes raining in from the wing or a bounce pass between Oden's legs to a cutting forward for a dunk.
3. Batum -- I REALLY don't want to see a mature Batum faced off against Roy or any of our other guards or wings and you know he'd be trying to go all "in your face" and throw down on LaMarcus or Greg and flash that "peace sign" he likes to give Pau.
Top three Blazers I fear the least in another uniform:
1. Webster -- Low efficiency player and not all that lights out of a shooter as a perimeter specialist
2. Sergio -- I think if he gets in the right system he'll be able put up some nice assists numbers, but I don't fear his jumper at all nor his ability to break down a defense
3. Blake -- Sure he's got a pretty sweet stroke from the corner, but do I really "fear" it?
