    Absolutely, resign him next year. His value is low, and his potential his high now that Nate is gone.

    Watch the post game interview from Tonight with MH and you just might agree.

    Yeah.... I agree..... we need quitters on our team who sand bag when they don't like how things are going.

    Doubt either of you watched the interview? Get back at me when you do.

    BS, the surge is directly correlated to Nate being gone.

    Fuck no. The guy is toxic. Stay the fuck away.

    This recent surge is just some contract year BS. If we re-sign him (even for the minimum), I'm picketing against the Blazer FO.

    FUCK no. He's improved to adequate. Except that he was outplayed by CHARLES JENKINS tonight.

    That said, if it was a choice between keeping Felton and keeping Crawford, I'd go for Felton.

    I wish he could be persuaded that the Heat need him if only he would agree to a buyout RIGHT NOW. (Or is it too late to make playoff rosters if you sign with a team now?)

    Talk is cheap. No words dribbling out of his mouth can over-ride what we have all seen with our own eyes.

    Something tells me Hailblazers that you are easily distracted by bright shiny objects and have lost thousands playing three card Monty with street hustlers ... am I right or am I right?

    The only way I can POSSIBLY IMAGINE re-signing Felton is if some poor sap team wanted him in a sign-and-trade for someone actually good.

    The guy tanked it until the coach got fired, and suddenly, he's playing hard again? This is the kind of guy we want to stay away from. I absolutely hate that we didn't buy him out yet. I don't want his attitude rubbing off on guys like Nic/Wes/Nolan.

    The best part is that he was a primary reason why we sucked bad enough to blow it up, and now he's playing well enough to fuck up our tanking.... this guy is a real prize.

    Yeah... don't be fooled by how garbage he was for the first 35 games of the season. I do not want him being our PGofF.

    The entire team is responsible for Nate being fired

    One player doesn't make you lose by 42

    Aldridge/Nic/Wes played their part in it.

    Don't miss Talking Ball tonight, they just said it's Raymond Felton Appreciation night. You guys don't wanna miss it!

    I'll take LMA's opinion thank you.

    I don't care how bad a coach is, if a player misses wide open shots game after game, its his fault and no one elses. Now all of a sudden he can shoot?

    Felton was horrible this season, and even as well as he played tonight, I still don't like his game.
    He is a back up point guard who thinks he is a starter. I don't think he is a leader.

    I'd rather try to keep Felton at $5-6 million a year then to overpay for some of the "potential" point guards this summer.

    If you can't sign Deron, or trade for someone like Rondo, resigning Felton to a modest deal isnt a bad idea. Then you can focus on the other positions
