I like Kyle Lowry actually. Solid offense. Solid defense. He's also got a jumpshot.

I don't think theres a realistic homerun at PG.
 
I'd rather not do Harris because he's already 29, which doesn't give him that much more of a window with us than Miller has. In fact, I think Miller is a better option simply because Miller's game isn't predicated on athleticism. Harris has always been an athletic guy, and I'm not sure how his game will adapt when that athleticism leaves him. Miller just keeps trucking.

I like adding someone like Lowrey, Sessions, or maybe even Flynn. I like the idea of taking a risk on someone like Sessions or Flynn, having them back up Miller for a couple years, and then handing over the reigns.
 
I'd rather keep Miller for the next 3 years (assuming there is no drop in his game which seems suited to play deep into his 30's and maybe early 40's) and hope Armon Johnson develops a jump shot and a little better court vision. The guy is a GREAT defender and has nice size and length for a PG but he makes Rondo look like Reggie Miller. I just don't see a PG that we can realistically get that is gonna be an upgrade over miller in the next few years. I'd like to take our chances and hope Oden is healthy next year and see what we can do with him and LMA in the front court. Roys contract is gonna screw us the next few years so we might as well keep taking a chance on Oden because who else can we get that has anywhere near the potential to be a star like Oden?

I like Nolan Smith. I'd like to see what he measures out at first though.

He's going to measure out big for point. He's a converted SG. I'm anxious to see his times, he seems a little slow.

He'll probably measure out at about 6'1" or 6'2". I think his NBA career will take the path of DeMarcus Nelson.
 
Keep Miller for 2 or 3 years (unless we can get a true allstar pg) and see what other opportunities come up or develop. Why is no one discussing Elliot Williams? I know he had knee surgery, I had not heard that it was career ending. I think people like Harris due to a grass is always greener type approach. People rip Batum due to his inconsistent play, go look at harris's game log, he obviously decides to take some games off.

I think Williams is generally thought of as more of an SG, not having developed "enough" PG skills. No doubt he has athleticism and seems very intelligent and well spoken, he "might" be a darkhorse candidate but it would take a few yrs.

He just reminds me of him. I just checked the stats though and I realize Smith averages over 5 assists while Nelson never got over 3. Nelson was a great defender of the 1 and 2 in college and so is Smith. Nelson doesn't have the chops to be an NBA PG and I don't think Smith does either.

Nelson was an undersized 2 guard, that got along with pure athletic ability. Smith is a heady PG with good size for that position, defends well and leads the ACC in assists and points.

If were talking about high school ball though, yes. Nelson was a much better player at that level.

As pro prospects, I see nothing similar.
 
I've got it--Bieber!!
 
Another guy we should take a look at in the draft is Jordan Taylor of Wisconsin. Crazy intangibles, heady player, strong and can defend.

Kinda reminds me of Andre Miller with a little bit more range.

The one thing about Harris I like is his ability to explode to the hole. He is quick. But because of the toll that driving to the basket takes on a small player's body, he doesn't seem to do it very often anymore. I could be wrong. I don't watch a lot of NJ games. Miller seems to do everything else as good if not better.

My gut tells me to stick with Miller through next year, and quickly find that PGOTF. Not sure if Harris is that long term guy either. So regardless of who we trade for, keep Andre.

his FTA rate this year is slightly above his career average.

you are right about the toll on the bodies that taking it hole takes from high flyers. Not only do those types tend to miss a lot of games to injury, speed typically starts tailing off for them by their early 30's... thats what scares me about DH. What I do like about him is that they'd have another long athletic player on the court which would seem to add that much more to their D.

Dwight Hardy of St. Johns is going to start climbing up the draft boards. He's lights out.
 
Dwight Hardy is averaging 2 assists and 2.3 turnovers per game this year ... PGotF really?

Not really a great playmaker. Not much of a stretch from Fredette's 4 assists to 3.5 TO's. Similar type player, sparks off the bench.
 
In addition to the TJ Ford rumor, Mike Bibby's camp has let it be known they'd like a buyout from the Wiz and the Blazers are a one of the teams he would consider.
 
No. More. Combo. Guards.

That's just a nice way of saying "he's a SG in a PG's body".

I completely agree, no more bayless situations. We need a guy who is going to create shots for others, not just drive to the basket hoping to get fouled.

Of the prospects that have been listed, which fits that criteria?

Hey man I'm not here to talk shit about what other people say and start arguments, I wasn't talking about any of the people listed, I was talking about bayless. You guys on these forums forget that we're on the same side, we all want the blazers to win. Instead it's all arguments and insults about other blazer fans opinions. Everyone chill, go blazers, RIP CITY.

My favorite point guard in the league is Russell Westbrook
But for realistic PG's to go after I like Raymond Felton, DJ Augustin, Mo Williams, and even Jose Calderone though I know he's not having a great year.
