It will be fine because I see something coming after this deal. Obviously Felton will be traded, but until we get a PG we can't right now. I do believe this will set up other deals.
a great setup guy? Do we even have a great setup guy now? shit, anything is better than what we currently are dealing with. e.g camby's phantom alley-oop "setup"? lol
Probably means the Blazers have at least one offer that they consider "takeable", just waiting to see if a better one comes in, if not, they've got that backup...
I think Bledsoe has a much higher ceiling, but I'm not super optimistic about him ever hitting it. ... Honestly, I don't know which guy I would prefer ... Bledsoe I guess? -- With the logic of the team needing to gamble on a guy or two turning into something special instead of puttering away in mediocrity -- but really I could easily be talked out of him and I can see some usefulness to getting Augustin because of his Texas connection with Aldridge and the fact that he's at least a decent point guard who understands how to set guys up.
True, but players from schools like UT usually hook up for pickup games and have a special bond. I think that is what was meant.
Exactly. It was kind of weird. I won some promotional draft party thingy vitamin water did for that draft at Grand Central Bowl and Aldridge was the guest host for the event. I was within earshot of him when he was talking to somebody about Augustin and LMA really wanted the Blazers to draft him, he was definitely bummed when Charlotte got him two spots ahead of the Bayless pick/trade.
Latest Blazersedge update per Chris Haynes has Minny redoubling efforets for Crawford with Rubio injury, problem is what POR wants from Minny, maybe a 3-way?
Jennings available I don't know much about this kid, but I looked him up. 18.7 PPG, 40% FG (why do PGs shoot so fucking poorly?), 33% from three, 5.6 APG, 1.5 steals and 2.2 TO. Since I can only look "on paper", nothing about this kid jumps out at me.
Kevin Love. Actually, how about they take Felton (Yes, dreaming I know)? We'll take a flier on Beasley. Then we still have Crawford to deal for something a little bit better. Beasley will take Wallace's minutes if/when he is dealt.
