    Re: Brian Wheeler is HORRIBLE

    Come on, you're taking his comment out of context. I was listening to him on SBRadio when he said that. He wasn't saying that was a move they should make but that is the kind of player that could be available if you're looking for an experienced vet at the SG position. They even noted that he's getting paid way too much. Unless he's said it again at a different time then when I was listening.

    change it to

    "Brian Wheeler has lost a TON of weight and looks incredibly awesome. But I disagree with his assessment RE: Picks for Joe Johnson"

    At least let me pick out the new title.

    'Brian Wheeler has a John Nash moment'

    Joe Johnson is going to be 31

    Joe Johnson had a PER of 18.4

    Joe Johnson avg win share for his career is .037 (.100 is the league average)


    Two lottery picks for that?

    lotto picks are historically likely to be worse than that.

    Re: Brian Wheeler is HORRIBLE

    His career playoff (advanced) stats speak loud and clear:

    13.9 PER | 111 DRtg | 1.9 WS

    I did not hear what wheels said, but if his point is some teams may be looking to rebuild and would be willing to dump one of their prime time player with a big contract to rebuild . . . well, I agree, that is a situation the Blazers can take advantage of.

    this would be a horrible trade, they would likely give him away for free, or give us their pick and teague to take him...

    Look, if Brian Wheeler does read this board then he should know that deals like this or the #6 for Lowry or for Millsap are beyond bad for POR....

    Millsap\Johnson\LA and Batum (and likely paying luxury tax) is not a championship team...it is one thing to be optimistic given nature of your work for the organization, however it is quite another to be a complete homer....

    Blazer fans are not stupid Wheels....

    This.

    If you think Milsap or Lowry are going to turn things around you're in denial.

    They (radio guys/bloggers) overlook the new CBA.
