Lillard wants to play alongside Brandon Roy.

This is why players should not have any hand in personnel decisions...

 

[SIeepwalker]

That's a weird answer...

DAME DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH CJ CONFIRMED !!!1!!1!!11!!1!

 

[Driew]

God damn we are really reaching for stories this summer.

God damn we are really reaching for stories this summer.

correction...Blazers Edge is really reaching for stories....you can sign on to their site and ask a question and it becomes a headline on Yahoo....don't be fooled by the Blazer's Edge mailbag...in the words of Tommy Chong....Dave's not here man...

 

[BBert]

Not exactly. He said when asked, if he could add one former Blazer in their prime to the current roster, who would it be. He said prime Brandon Roy. Not to be confused with broken Brandon Roy, which is who you'd get if you were to "bring back" Brandon Roy.

IOW: Fake News

 

[KingSpeed]

Did you guys read the tweet? He was asked what former Blazer IN HIS PRIME would he like to play with. So he chose prime Roy. Not a bad answer.

 

[Minstrel]

Still means he doesn't want to play with McCollum. That's the direct consequence of bringing on board a prime Brandon Roy.

That's still a weird answer. The question was about adding the player to the current Blazers roster, so why not chose a SF or a PF ?

 

[Blazers Roy]

He should have said LaMarcus, just for the fuck of it.

 

[Minstrel]

Bonzi Wells would have been the best troll answer, IMO.

 

[BonesJones]

Roy would probably play SF. We'd be undersized, but imagine:

Lillard
CJ
Roy
Anyone
Nurkic

That's be nasty!

 

[riverman]

Chris Kaman would have been a great answer

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Prime Pippen is the only answer.

or Walton.

 

[H.C.]

Prime Pippen is the only answer.

or Walton.

Ha IDK about that. I think the only answer would be prime Sabonis.

 

[Minstrel]

Roy would make a hell of a small ball power forward. Probably what Lillard was thinking.

Lillard
McCollum
Harkless
Roy
Nurkic

 

[RR7]

As over rated as I think he is, sheed would be an awesome addition to the current roster.

 

[handiman]

Prime Pippen is the only answer.

or Walton.

Pippen and Sabonis didn't play for the Blazers in their respective primes. Walton's was so short, but then so was Roy's, so I guess I'll give you that.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ha IDK about that. I think the only answer would be prime Sabonis.

Prime Sabas was GOAT, period, full stop.

 

[theprunetang]

Prime Rasheed would be amazing on this current team. Seriously.

 

[Sinobas]

Drexler, and play him at SF.

 

[Sinobas]

Roy would be too redundant IMO. We'd have 3 players that like to play ISO ball in the half court.

 

[SIeepwalker]

I would pick Sheed too

 

[Blazers Roy]

Prime Rasheed would be amazing on this current team. Seriously.

Yep, perfect for today's NBA in general.
Great defender at the paint, great shooter and he wouldn't have to be the leader.

 

[Reep]

Sheed or Lucas would be my picks a bit of nasty is what this team needs.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Prime Pippen is the only answer.

or Walton.

Way wrong. If Dame really does push his teammates then Clyde is the ONLY answer.

 

[blue9]

Prime Sabas was GOAT, period, full stop.

Total agreement. However, when talking about an addition to the current roster I think position has to come into play. Maybe I'm too afflicted with Nurk Fever, but it seems to me that - for today's game - we have C well enough covered. And I want to see the continued development of Nurk! I think the bigger upgrade would be Pippen or Sheed at the F spots. I'm a big fan of Harkless, and not really a fan of Vonleh, so I think Sheed over Vonleh might be more bang-for-your-buck than Pippen over Harkless. Buuuuut, Pippen was just such a masterful player that I'll play him at PF. He could easily guard today's "P"Fs - yes, that P is in quotations cos there ain't no POWER in the position these days!

 

[Minstrel]

Prime Sheed isn't the greatest talent to play for the Blazers, but I agree about what an outstanding fit he'd make. If it were legal within the rules to take a player who's prime wasn't with the Blazers, then I'd choose Pippen or Sabonis. The greatest talent as a Blazer was Bill Walton, but that "prime" was so short. Drexler was probably the best combination of talent as a Blazer and normal-length prime.

If it were for just one season, I'd take Walton. Yes, we have Nurkic, but I think Walton could excel as a high post player, allowing Nurkic to play in the low post. If it was for multiple seasons, I'd take Rasheed Wallace. Perfect fit for the era, fills the team's biggest hole in the starting lineup and a natural fit next to Nurkic.

 

[PDXFonz]

Bonzi Wells would have been the best troll answer, IMO.

Allen Crabbe would have been a great troll answer.

 

[Schilly]

Blazers edge is beyond ridiculous
