    I'd kind of like to see him in a Blazer uni. Sure, he's an old fart, but I think he'd be a great (on-court) mentor for the likes of Bayless and/or Mills, while also being the type of distributor the team is looking for.

    He's done it all...short of winning an NBA title (right?). I think he's got 'it'. The kind of 'it' that Bayless could really admire and grow under. He's also got one or two decent seasons of b-ball left in the tank. Perfect window for this team in my estimation.

    My question, though, is...would he cost too much for KP's fiscal philosophy? As well, I couldn't see the Blazers paying more than $7mil or $8mil per (if that) for him. Is that realistic? Although, he might be able to garner more as a marquee-type player somewhere else, I suppose.

    Thoughts?

    Bucher mentioned that Dallas might offer him a one year, $15m contract.

    If, and only if, we were to use him to mentor our PG's, maybe two years at no more than $5 million per season. He has, literally, nothng left in the gas tank. I could drive by him and I'm 50.
