Food for thought (PG position)

[BBert]

I haven't dismissed Felton. I can't wait to see what that big bowling ball can do once he gets rolling down hill. (I know, how July 2011 of me. )

I really appreciated Andre Miller but his lack of an outside shot was a problem. On paper Felton should be a better 'fit' with Nate (and Brandon). Miller was the king of the lob, and was incredibly savvy. I hope Felton can work as well with LaMarcus and Crash. I'm pretty confident he will facilitate the offense better than Blankey, and he was gold, Jerry, Gold!

El Presidente made the point about not needing a good/great point guard to win a championship, then you chimed in about Roy in regards to our slight deviation away from the OP's original point ... which had absolutely nothing to do with what we were talking about.

Then clearly you missed the point, and/or you had no point to begin with.

Your lack of reading comprehension and ability to follow the "bread crumbs" in a conversation are not my problem.

With CP3 going to LA and Deron likely going to Dallas or staying in Brooklyn I think our only hope for an above-average PG is Rondo.

I like what they tried to do today with Wallace -- accumulate first round picks to put in a package for a (soon-to-be) rebuilding team.

To survive in the West you have only two options IMO: Blow it up and start from scratch or get LaMarcus his PG.

Rondo would be the best for Portland IMO. Defense, defense, defense.

How about moving heaven and earth to get Austin Rivers in this year's draft?

If we went that rout we'd totally waste LMA's prime years developing a rookie combo guard.

Looking at PG's around the league that would vault Portland back into respectability there aren't many left. It's looking like Rondo or bust. If not, we'll have to settle for the ÜBER mediocre Felton.

Actually it was a joke. I have almost no idea what kind of player Rivers is except some of the hype surrounding him coming out of high-school as the next "big thing." To your point though, I agree that they're going to have to settle the position sooner rather than later with a guy who can actually play the position at a somewhat high level. Maybe they don't need a super-star point guard (assuming they somehow acquire a star at another position) but they do need to figure it out before Aldridge gets too much farther into his contract.
