Apparently, Felton may be about to lose his starting job. That's the good news. The bad news: to Crawford.

I actually approve of this (in fact, I believe I suggested it) because, when Felton was out with the bad foot and Crawford started, Aldridge got his season high, because they just pounded it in to him and didn't try anything fancy. And it also means that Batum gets to play more with a passing PG.

Could work (in the same way that strapping roller skates to your black lab might work)... Batum on the floor with Crawford was the worst; Crawford must hate Batum with how much he's freezing Nic out of the offense.

I've noticed that too, if you look at when Crawford has the ball and then hoists up a shot, Batum is usually open and looks pissed

Batum needs to grow some balls and man up! He needs to be vocal and tell his teammates to stop being assholes and pass him the damn ball.
 
Not so easy for a 'sub' to mount a coup and take over the team from the alpha's, so annointed by the coach. You'd really see an explosion of that happened.

RE ABM's thread, I'd rather this were Nico's team than Crawful's.
 
thank god.......as long as felton doesnt play i am happy. At least crawfull is somewhat productive. and hopefully this means more minutes for e-wil.
 
The last time Crawful started he looked to pass more. He's smart enough to understand his role as a starting PG. I like the move.
 
The Blazers need an Allan Houston type player. The offense has a tendency to grow stagnant in when the ball is in Crawfords hands. He can make something out of nothing, but it seems like everytime he gets the ball, it turns into a nothing situation.

That's because we run a stagnant offense.

So true!
 
When's the trade deadline? We have to deal felton. I'd be cool with sending felton and wes packing. As long as we get a point guard that can play with aldridge

You have to add Matthews to the mix, if you're going to add Crawford.

Felton, though. Wow. Words don't describe how bad he's playing right now.

To a degree yes. I think out of all the guards, Crawford is playing the "best" right now. "Best" being relative, since they're all playing pretty damn crappy.

Except for Failton. He fell through the floor with how bad he's playing.

Felton tonight was the NBA equivalent of this.

Although I do feel bad for the lady who was singing the anthem, considering the classless fans in Canada were booing the Star Spangled Banner before she even started singing. Felton I don't feel bad for at all, after his whining about Nate earlier this week.
 
Check this out.

ATL- Teague, Hinrich
BOS- Rondo
CHA- Kemba, Augustin
CHI- Rose
CLE- Irving
DAL- Kidd, Beaubois
DEN- Lawson, Dre
DET- Stuckey, Knight
GSW- Curry, Monta
HOU- Lowry, Dragic
IND- Collison, Hill
LAC- CP, Mo Williams, Billups
LAL- Fisher, Blake, Morris
MEM- Conley
MIA- Chalmers, Cole
MIL- Jennings
NJN- Deron, Farmar
NOH- Jack, Vasquez
NYK- Lin, Baron
OKC- Westbrook, Maynor
ORL- Nelson
PHL- Holiday, Lou Williams
PHX- Nash
SAC- Evans, Jimmer
SAS- TP
TOR- Calderon, Bayless
UTA- Harris, Watson
WAS- Wall

I'd take any of the guys listed over Felton.
 
A D-leaguer would be better than Felton right now.
 
Maybe we can convince Gilbert Arenas to sign here by guaranteeing him a starting role.
 
I think if you go by today's game (the Clippers) Crawford and Matthews proved to be our best combo at guard, mostly because Felton is simply not producing.
Right now our top 5 is set: Crawford, Matthews, Batum, Wallace and Camby.
When LA comes back another player needs to sit in key minutes and right now if I had my choice it would be Wallace but I can't see it happening.
 
Felton is a special player.

Rarely do you find a point guard that not only sucks himself, but makes everyone around him worse.
 
If the Blazers are trying to "showcase" Felton for a trade, it's backfiring.
 
Anybody up for trading for Ramon Sessions? How 'bout Bassy? Boobie Gibson perhaps? Anyone? ... Anyone?

None of them would be the PGOTF, either. Bert Kolde and Larry Miller should be thinking up ways to rebuild right now, though, and it should involve Gerald Wallace, Felton, and probably Matthews as well. You already have an All-Star in LMA, which expedites improving any roster and circumvents a "rebuild" in the classic sense.

Get a decent PG, get a SG that can dribble without hitting his feet, and move Batum into the starting line-up.

You're not thinking big enough, dumping only half the team. To fit McMillan's style we need to trade the rest of the garbage too. Every single member of the team. We need to change owners, hire a GM, and trade all the players. Then we'll see whether this pleases the McMillan system. If not, we need to do it again until we isolate the cause of the problem.
 
Until now I wasn't on the "clean house" bandwagon, but I am now. I like Nate, but the team needs a new voice. And aside from LA & Batum, every player is easily expendable. And some have just got to go- starting with Failton & Crawful.

It really does take a special person to suck himself.
 
I see a lot of bright minds on this board, and I figure that if we clear out all the veteran players who did fine on other teams, and get a new owner who will take orders from the new GM and hand over the reduced fortune he has left after ruining himself financing Pritchard's trades, that we on this board will combine our profound powers of analysis to narrow down the possible causes of why McMillan's system has been rudely not allowed to work by our owner. We need to isolate the hidden problem, that is, what is creating obstacles to McMillan's system.
