Vince Carter would be cool.

Re: FA starts in 11 hrs.

You guys are greatly underestimating how much you will hate carter because of all the stupid fans he will bring with him. They follow him from team to team and make slypokerdog look smart

WHOA! let's not jump to conclusions here buck-o!

Also, the shitty bandwagon fans are already here. They showed up last season. It happens whenever the team wins, and it's a very small price to pay for winning. If Vince ~~McMahon~~ Carter can bring us a championship, i'm all for it!

Re: FA starts in 11 hrs.

Also, it would be kind of hilarious if we signed Ariza after he ruined Rudy and we all hated him for five minutes.

Shit, imagine if we somehow got Melo or Lebron. Denny would love that though because this place would get a crapload of new members.

Re: FA starts in 11 hrs.

At this point in his career Vince is basically a designated three point shooter. Vince would want his shots and minutes and unless he can do more than just shoot the 3 then I would rather give Wes, CJ, or Crabbe more minutes with the 2nd unit and upgrade another position.

Not saying he would not help, just that it would take the whole MLE and 3pt shooting is not our biggest need.

Yeah, and if we're going with old former All-Star wings, at this point I'd rather see the Blazers make a run at Shawn Marion than Carter.

Re: FA starts in 24 hrs.

Didn't he single handedly destroy the Pacers last year?

What's the attraction in that?

if I told you we could sign someone who single handedly beat the best record team in basketball, would that be something you might be interested in?

Re: FA starts in 11 hrs.

Who will Neil contact first?

Hope: Isaiah Thomas

Likely: Josh McRoberts/PJ Tucker

I really want to go after Avery Bradley. Would be the perfect combo guard off the bench, can play great defense, and run the offense.

Re: FA starts in 11 hrs.

I'd like to pick up Avery Bradley and Shawn Marion. Would be nice to give the starters some guys who can defend so they don't have to focus so much on expending energy on offense to keep a lead.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Re: FA starts in 11 hrs.

That was a good video. Can he run the offense? 5 minute video and they only showed one pass....

 

[shamelessblazer]

Re: FA starts in 24 hrs.

I don't want our backup centers main talent being shooting. Otherwise we might as well save money and just roll Leonard out there. I want a defender, a rebounder. Someone like Okafor

Shooting AND setting great picks. That would be a thing of beauty with Lillard. I think if we pair him with Robinson most of the time out there the defense and rebounding issues are lessened. He boxes out well and his one on one defense in the post really isn't that bad.

It's called defensive phenomenon, not passing phenomenon. Still, he'd be a massive upgrade on the bench.

I understand the video was about his D. But they still found time to show him shooting.
I have always heard good things about him but to be honest I have never really focused on his ability to run an offense.
Just wondering how good he is at it.

Re: FA starts in 9 hrs.

If there is ever a chance, I would want lance Stevenson. He would be a great energy and defensive specialist off the bench

Chalmers or Livingston would be much better than Nelson. I look at Nelson the same way I look at Mo.

I think he's a much better decision maker, no?

Eh, I think they're pretty close. They're both short, score first, fringe All-Star point guards.

I would much rather have a defensive specialist like Chalmers, or a pure point guard like Livingston.

I would rather have both f those guys also. I would rather have Jameer then mo tho... It really comes down which guys will command the mle and which guys we can get for the bae. If you could get Jameer for the bae that could be our best route and leave the mle for another position.
I think Jameer is one of those guys that has been stuck on a bad team and once back with a contender could be a candidate for a resurrection year.

If we can get Nelson for cheaper than Mo, then yes, I would agree he is someone to look at.

Edited the thread title again.

We should have Dick Clark do the countdown when it gets under a hour.

I knew Sly was good for something.

Re: FA starts in 7 hrs.

Haynes just tweeted this :

On Mo Williams front, told the free agent guard has no meetings set with other teams: "His only goal is to get something done with #Blazers"

Looks like the ball is in the Blazers court and unless Mo's demands are not reasonable then i would count on him being a Blazer again. I know this would not please some fans but i think he is a good fit so after he re-signs this will leave the MLE (5.3m) and BAE (2m~)
