KP's like a window shopper. He makes calls but fails to get the big deals done.

That is what happens when you love all of your young guys. His relationship with his players really hurt trade talk, I imagine.
 
Dealing for mediocre vets is no answer. No more rookies? How about "no more scrubs!"

If the team can't pull a blockbuster, I hope they use the draft to rebuild the bench. Trading for journeymen is rarely cost effective.

Roy is a top 5 player at his possition, but Harris might be as well. Then you add Yi and the #3 pick and I think that's a good deal.

Harris isn't a top 5 PG.

You just seem to be contradicting yourself. You say it takes big star guys to get it done in the playoffs, and then you want to trade the Blazers big star player and not get one in return(I don't consider Harris one).

I don't know why you guys can't accept the Blazers have a lot of their pieces in place. They're just still young as a group. Other than a future PG and more perimeter shooting(they're not terribly bad here, but could definitely improve), everything is fine as long as the Blazers are healthy.

I think he sighs because Roy is the face of the franchise and the only all star on the team. I hope KP gets a hell of a lot more than Harris if throwing out Roy's name. You yourself said that you "think adding any rookie doesn't make sense" yet you throw out Roy's name for Harris and the #3? You contradict yourself in the very same thread. Sigh

Edit: RT beat me to it.

You are missing his master plan. For his next trick he will replace Batum with Peja - and a dynasty will be born!
 
You guys are talking as if every team is "wheeling and dealing." WTF. There has only been ONE deal that has involved a rotation player so far in the past week.

Chill.

I'd rather KP not do anything, than pull a deal that doesn't make sense, just because...
 
I can't wait to read all of your posts about how the Blazers flamed out in the playoffs next year. I wonder what the excuse will be? Youth? Injuries?

Some people despise him for it, but I think it's his biggest strength. He knows he has a good roster that can do some things and isn't going to change it just to change it.

What is known is he feels the same way we all do - this teams needs a PG. But acquiring a good one isn't easy.

You've forgotten the iron law on this forum: any deal is a good deal because it means you got a deal done. Only pussies don't get deals done.

In all seriousness.

Don't we have a top 10 PG on our roster now? I can't really think of many PG's that are a lot better than Miller.


We seem to have a good player at every possition. Miller is good, Roy is very good, Batum is good, Aldridge is good, Camby or Oden or Joel are good

If Miller were 25 years old, he'd be fine. Since he's only got maybe a couple of top-level years left in him, he misses this teams window.
 
I put more expectations on KP getting things done because he is playing with blank checks. Do something KP . . .

Miller most likely won't be here after next year. And I still don't buy him and Roy are necessarily a great match, but at least they're much better than before. A PG that is a good 3PT shooter is desirable imo.

That's fair, but are you saying this teams window is still 3 years away? That's scary for many reasons. Brandon's knees, Oden's body, PA's health. Most were all talking like last year was the begining of our window.

Then might it be better to just try and get the best shooter, and move Roy to the point?

Not three years away, IMO. But a longer window than 1-2 years, which is probably all Miller has left (at any high level, anyway).

No, I'm saying that the window extends beyond Miller's reasonable career longevity. It would be nice to get a PG who will be around and able to lead the team for the next six or seven years.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to see that most of the blame will fall on Nate (deserved or not).

Somehow, that reminds me of a Homer Simpson quote: "Oh my God, Marge. A penalty shot with only four seconds left. It's your child versus mine! The winner will be showered with praise; the loser will be taunted and booed until my throat is sore!"
