, true, but Nate likes players who play with heart, something that can't be said for his current team. Look at Pryzbilla's comments about leaving come free agency because players are giving up. Also, Blazers need a scorer and have Randolph play off him rather then carry the load(where he plays best). He's the best fit imo, just like Gay is with Cats. The question is who do Bulls draft. I think they trade their pick if Aldridge/Thomas stay out, and go for a big in free agency, ie. Nene.
I've always thought that Adam Morrison was just going to be a great fit in Portland, especially if/since they are going to trade Darius Miles.
Adam Morrison to the Blazers makes little sense because they have Darius Miles, Martell Webster, Travis Outlaw, Viktor Krhyapa and Sergei Monia under contract.
Monia got traded, Martell Webster is a 2, Darius will likely get traded and Morrison, Khyrapa and Outlaw can play the 3 and 4.

I really don't know why the Blazers would trade Miles, he was pretty consistant and is still a very young guy. Having Martell Webster and Adam Morrison in the same backcourt won't make things easy because they will have problems driving to the basket. Not to mention Adam Morrison is pathetic on defense.
Miles is gone, he's a issue on the Blazers because he's not consistent and has no passion. It's either him or Randolph, and Miles contract is easier to trade, so he's the one most likely.
With Webster and Morrison you don't have a guy who can get to the rim consistantly....that is troubling to me. I don't know if McMillan will want Morrison because of his defense issues.
Thing is, right now their a terrible 3 pt shooting team. I guess we'll see come June where Stache and Gay land.
Their are plently of decent threepoint shooting people they could nab in the second round, Steve Novak for example, I just don't like Morrison...because I like drafting a top 5 player that knows how to run normaly.

Steven Segal is such a terrible actor...I know asian boys who sound more manly then him. Reminds me, make a sig of Morrison with Michael Jackson's face.
