    I don't hate a player, because he's European. I've liked many European players over the years. But, I certainly don't like a player just because he's European.

    He's a great man-to-man defender.

    Against what types of players? Not doubting you, just wondering. Does he guard small forwards or power forwards better?

    Oh wow how do you explain his 3pt % being 30% in 2010-2011 and 45% last year? That's a ridiculous difference.

    Well, he improved his shot. He was 23, now he's 24. Players get better. Players also get smarter and understand they need to pick and choose their spots more wisely.

    I think the main reason I like Ilyasova so much is he's poor man's Kevin Love. Players that can produce without having to have their number called don't grow on tree's in the NBA.

    he can guard 4s like Batum can which is not for long periods of time. iv never thought he was a good defender. Anyone got his defense rating? on my phone can't look it up atm.

    Ilyasova's defensive rating is 103. For comparison, Batum's is 107.

    I doubt MIL lets Ilyasova go, and POR priority in FA should be to get a starting PG.....

    What about Jeff Green? Via RealGM:

    If the Blazers address PG and C via the draft, POR could build around a core future lineup of:

    Leonard(?)/Aldridge/Green/Batum/Lillard

    Green is only 25 and has been checked out and 100% after his heart condition. Could be a nice piece to add to our roster, probably commanding around $8-10M a year.

    green never impressed me in okc but I never liked him as a stretch 4. Him as a SF with moving Batum to 2 does peek my interest but we could end up with two vastly overpaid players (batum/green) on an avg team instead of two up and comers.

    Green's been very underwhelming in the NBA.
