If we are able to land Hedo, he'll be the biggest FA signing the Blazers had since? The last big FA we signed from another team was Derek Anderson. Before he went down with his shoulder injury he was having an All-Star type of season. Joel proved to be a huge steal but he was looked at as a bit of a Journey man the summer we signed him.
How many notable free agents have we signed in the last 20 years? Buck Williams, Brian Grant, Kenny Anderson, Ruben Patterson, Derek Anderson? We'd have to see how he plays for us before judging. His shooting % aren't that great, but he is a smart player and a good passer. I'd actually be more excited about Andre Miller than Hedo, but at these guys' age, I"m worried about when they might "hit the wall" so to speak. Like remember Greg Anthony, we got him when he was 31, and he was a stud for us for maybe a year or 2, then he just became abysmal.
