Chandler has lots of tattoo's. He must have a douchebag quality about him...

He does have one weird neck tattoo... Not as bad as Stevenson's though....

I'm going to be really pissed if the Rockets or one of our playoff competitors pick up Dragic on the cheap. The Rockets having him would give them two herky-jerky, hard to guard left-handers.

I would be PISSED

we could grab a Dragic and he would be exactly the scoring wing we need! And if we used T. Rob, Barton, our pick and maybe Claver; it wouldn't be much!

Get er done Olshey!

Dragic would be a rental and he isn't a wing. He is a 6'3 guard.

A wing is a player able to play the corners. Dragic can definitely play the perimeter and corners. He's also very good around the paint as well

And why would he only be a rental? If he pans out, we would hold his bird rights and able to go over cap to sign him
 
Somebody with a lot of cap space and a lot of picks is going to get Dragic, that's not us. We'd get outbid so fast for a pt guard that the Laker, Rockets, Knicks and Celtics need that I don't think if we were interested that we'd be where they'd send him. He'll probably end up in the east I'm thinking
 
How many 6'3 combo guards do we need? We need a wing with length if we need anything. CJ is 6'3

It's recency bias, but I wanna keep CJ and Leonard.

TRob/Willy/Wright/etc can all go

Leonard yes keep, if we get what we want than I have no problem letting CK go - lots of tweener/combo guards in this league

I would not overpay for Dragic, he can be a UFA this summer as he has a player option

Well as you know I am a CJ fan, but I still don't see him as a combo guard. He is a short SG. The league has lots of those guys now.

Dragic is a younger-better version of Steve Blake. Ideally next year I would be happy with Dame, Dragic, Blake at PG and Wes, CJ, and Crabbe at SG. (Or put Crabbe at SF and keep Will) But the bottom line is 3 deep at each position works for me.

3rd string won't be happy, but you have to have depth.
 
Dragic has played horribly next to Bledsoe. He played his best at point guard. He wouldn't fit here and he would leave.

Play him only at PG. Dame needs minutes at SG. This team lacks ball handling skills. I am all for two PGs on the floor when Wes is resting.
 
But I do agree that it will be tough to keep him. Too many teams will over pay to get him this summer.

Just because he's played it doesn't change the fact that he's a natural PG. It's like saying Marion is a PF because he played it in PHX.
Don't get me wrong - I like Dragic a lot. He'd be an instant improvement to our bench. But he doesn't fill the need for a wing.

I truly think our need is a player that can score and do so without other players setting them up. I would argue that Dragic fills that need.

Yes I would love a SG/SF that is great at getting to the line (think Old Corey Magette), but I don't see players like that available. Adding Dragic would take a lot of pressure off of Dame to set up most the plays. It also will help get our players shots in rhythm, which I think Dragic does extremely well.
 
Dragic is unhappy in Phoenix having to play off the ball, he wants the ball in his hands at the point. He'd be an improvement but I doubt he'd be happy coming off the bench. Unfortunately the best fit for him right now is in Houston, really hope we don't see that happen.

I think Dragic is unhappy being on a team that's going nowhere. Things change when you play on a winning team. Look at brewer, Gasol, josh smith and various other players that went to a winning organization..
 
I think Afflalo would be a great addition to the team. But the fact that he may be a half year rental is a concern.

Yes he has and he has been playing like shit this year. I know because I have him on my fantasy team. The guy isn't a shooting guard. He isn't built that way. He needs the ball in his hands.

I think the Blazers should focus on getting Arron Afflalo or Wilson Chandler or Keven Martin.

I think with Dragic you would be taking time away from Blake. I don't see them going that direction. I do see them going any direction. The players have let Neil off the hook so I am sure, he will stand pat.
