Waived or unemployed SFs

[Idog1976]

Probably because Dante isn't actually a small forward. He played power forward in college and he doesn't have enough lateral quickness to guard most threes. That's not to say I don't think he can soak up some of Travis' backup power forward minutes. I think the other issue here is how little Martell is providing at small forward -- so little in fact that he can't even get more than 11 or 12 minutes in an overtime game at the end of a long road trip.

Didn't know he was a 4 in college. In that case we might want to consider playing him over Howard unless he is abominable. Lord knows the guy is ripped, he could probably hold his own against second and lower tier PF's.

I'm guessing we will see a little Dante after the Blazers have time to make adjustments in a practice or 2.

View my public profile and click "ignore". On the user CP, there is an option on the left side that says "edit ignore list", type in my moniker.

Moniker? What's a moniker?

I don't want to type in no stink'n moniker!

I think you are right. There's going to be some serious adjustments made in upcoming practices...then "game time" will dictate which Blazer will "Rise with us" to new heights!

Whenever LMA has a strong game (meaning, when he does more than shoot long jumpers) and plays agressive - we win.

Someone needs to light the fire under LMA's arse on a regular basis. He plays a little too aloof on the whole. This is his time to emerge as a true star in this league - if only he could see this!

Roy is playing "tired" or perhaps he's playing like "there are still 68 games in the regular season ahead of me" - but whatever it is, he's in a funk. Watch his emotions (kinda lacking in the emotions part of his game!).


Webs sucks. Sorry Webster-lovers.


We need a Bayless + Webster + Picks trade for a small Forward. And I'm not saying Bayless + Webster + Picks is going to get us an All-star. But we need a dependable SF that can actually defend. LMA plays the PF from outside of the paint....Oden needs help down low when our guards get burned (happens too often against Blake and Roy!), so bring in a SF who can defend first, score second.

Bayless + Webster + Picks to Houston for Battier?
