Bring back Telfair?

[julius]

Lets do this we can trade Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge and Lopez for 7-8 first round picks. That way we can bring in:
Steve Blake
S. Telfair
Trade CJ and Robinson for Webster
Jarryd Bayless
Dante Cunningham
Luke Babbitt
Josh McRoberts
Channing Frye
We can trade Leonard and Barton for Jermaine O'neal too
While we are at it Greg Oden can be our Marquee signing.

It's funny that some people get seriously depressed over the whole Roy/LaMarcus/Oden trio dying before it's time..to me, I get depressed and almost like "aah fuck it. I'm done" when forced to look back on players that the team had that were absolute crap.

It might be that I just hate looking back on what 'could've been' or the team 'should've done'...but also just look at that list of shit-can players.

Portland fans are hilarious.

Ex-blazers that are in some instances fine players in the nba are scrubs or shit players.

But Thomas Robinson, Cj McCollum and will Barton are future all stars that will land us an upgrade

Its weird some peoples fondness for the past, what did those teams ever accomplish. Nothing not a single player available now was on the last Blazer team to have any playoff success.

Steve Blake sucked in his prime and now he is 34 and people are clamoring to bring him back. Man I tell you, I have no idea how we ever lived without the 8.9 points and 4.7 assists Steve contributed over 29 mins a game for 4 seasons.

Mo Williams averaged 9.7 and 4.3 in 24.8 mins a game last season.

I agree in that you would obviously rather bring back Mo than get Blake. That's not even a question.

However, Blake and Frye fit very well in stotts scheme and love Portland. They want to be here.

Completely agree, I couldn't stand Blake. Granted, Nate and Roy had their hand in that but I just don't think he's a real PG, just a triangle fit and stay out of the way guy. He wouldn't do anything in a Stotts offense IMO.

Frye, on the other hand, has had some success since he left and clearly improved his game in some ways. (mostly post defense and setting good picks)

What scheme is that play zero defense and take a lot of jumpers. Steve Blake shot a robust 37% from the field last season. While I would not hate Channing Frye I would much rather save the 5 million it will take to sign him and let Meyers shoot.

But but but Blake holds the Blazers record for assists in a quarter!!!!

 

[ripcityboy]

Didn't even know he was still an option. Although we need someone with a little more quality.

One good quarter in 4 years, we might as well see what Miles is doing he scored like 47 points in a single game

Thank god we have a clutch pg In Lillard, unlike that shitty guard from Memphis.

Totally agree that Bayless kid was a joke

 

[ripcityboy]

Ever noticed how the Blazers release players that fail to shine here, then go on and become major contributors somewhere else.
Wee are like the Mariners of the NBA. My father used to keep a list of all the "former Blazers" who played in the league. It was
really long. Of course, he's secretly a Jazz fan.

what are some realistic options for the Blazers this off season? who should they be looking at?

Kevin Pelton
They seem to be focused on using their MLE on a stretch big man, which is a little disappointing for Thomas Robinson given how well he played late in the season, but understandable nonetheless. In that scenario, they probably bring back Mo Williams using his non-Bird Rights. If they don’t use the full MLE on a big, I’d encourage them to look at Bo McCalebb as a Williams replacement.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Totally agree with Pelton.
