I guess we added perimeter shooting at PG. But we gave up being the best lob team in the league. So that's (at best) a wash. We gave up all of Miller's offensive creativity for....uh, a guy who is 7 years younger? Hmmm. I'm kind of bummed.
Yep. Picking Pendergraph over Blair was genius. They never make mistakes, and we message board geeks are incapable of looking at the current roster to see which positions we've already invested resources in. Over the years people have continued to blindly defend decision-makers that keep getting fired. It amazes me. Ed O.
Felton is an average PG being paid as an above average PG. We didn't get any better. We still have our roster issues. We're now stuck with mediocre for the next 3 years. Fucking Larry Miller....
Blair barely got off the bench against Memphis in the playoffs and had a PER of 9.6 when he did get to play, and Leonard is going to cut his minutes next season. Maybe Blair is available?
DeJuan Blair in the playoffs against Memphis. 4 ppg/3 rpg/ 33% FG/ 12 mpg/ PER of 9.6/ Usage of 23.4. A fucking stud!!!
Andre Miller can't play forever. He's clearly a better player than Felton, but the Blazers couldn't let themselves get into a position where Patty Mills or Armon Johnson was the PG. If Felton can hit the 3 like he did in Denver at 40+% that will be cool, but historically, he's not a good shooter. I just hope we also swap Smith for Faried.
Your smart enough to know that its easy for us fans to look back at past drafts and judge. We pretend we have a crystal ball, GM's dont.
