If I could have ONE former Blazer...

[BlayZa]

Damon, just to see the reaction... and for fun

 

[KingSpeed]

Randolph. Never should've traded him (unless we were going to get Marion, Prince, Jefferson, or Lewis).

 

[maxiep]

We need a backup PF and a starting quality SF. Unfortunately, there are no starting quality SFs that used to be Blazers. So, here's my ranking.

1. Randolph

2. Wallace

3. Frye

 

[BenDavis503]

Tyrus Thomas as a young backup PF?

This, if it would count. If not, Jermaine.

Blake\Miller
Roy\Rudy
Webster\Dante\Batum
LMA\O'Neal or Thomas
Oden\Joel

Sign me up.

Taureen Green. That little bastard still owes us 4 wins.

Ooooh! Me likey.

 

[WillG]

It's gotta be HA!

 

[oldmangrouch]

I would like to say Sheed - but he appears to be running on empty. That makes Zach the obvious choice.

 

[oldguy]

Mr. T would help the team more than Thomas?

Go Blazers

 

[Natebishop3]

Deron Williams....

IT WAS OUR PICK!

 

[Todd]

Rasheed!

He might not show up sometimes but dude totally has passion for the game.

Cut the check baby.....lol

[DaRizzle]

awww damn...i just saw this thread! Screw it, Im still posting my pic!

 

[bintim]

Pippen

 

[Natebishop3]

Pippen

See, I thought it had to be an active player...

If it could be ANY Blazer, past or present, it would be Pippen.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Sergei Alexandrovich Monia

I presume you're joking, but I probably genuinely would pick Viktor Khryapa. He's become something of a star in Europe, an entrenched starter on one of the top 5 Euro teams, CSKA Moskow. Nate loved him when we had him, and now he's better!

 

[magnifier661]

I was thinking of a player, now, today, from the NBA. Sorry for lack of clarity.

I'm actually a bit surprised that there aren't more decent former Blazers. Rasheed and Zach and... Jack? Frye? Telfair? Sergio?

Not a lot to choose from. Good job, John Nash!

Ed O.

I would go with Sheed. He is a knucklehead, but the dude is a "Team defense" type of guy. And surprisingly, his B-Ball IQ is really good. Also, he doesn't care about being in the spot light. Hell wouldn't even mind playing 10 minutes a game. I don't know if it's a good thing, but it would help get rid of some of the "I'm good and I need time and touches" bullshit.

 

[hasoos]

Scottie Pippen. The reason is that this team is screaming for toughness and leadership. I would give my left nut for that on this team right now. Right now if the Blazers lose its like "Oh thats ok. We will figure it out." We need a guy where when the game starts going south, they refuse to lose, turn into a total lunatic, getting into players faces and get them to start performing.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Current NBA players, I pick Tyrus Thomas or Randy Foye.

 

[hypnosmurf]

Rick Adelman

 

[hasoos]

Rick Adelman

Doh!

 

[mook]

Honestly, probably Khryapa.

Randolph is the most talented, but I don't think he'd co-exist happily on our team as the 4th option off the bench.

Sheed makes a lot of sense, but as much as I like the guy I'm tired of hearing on this board and in the Oregonian what a cancer he is, even though it's not true.

James Jones I could maybe see too, except he's had a lot of injury problems. I'd like to add somebody who you could rely on to suit up.

Khryapa gives you decent defense at SF and a three point shot, without any controversy. A poor man's Batum.
