"KP testing the market on Miller's worth?"

Indeed. The end of the Innocents.

 

This is what I posted it an earlier thread and I believe it is what is going to happen:

I think the best option is to ship him away. Roy doesn't want to play with him and the PG position is really not an issue on our team (Blake and Bayless are perfectly serviceable next to Roy). We need another scorer. Someone who is going to make up for the loss of Outlaw, either to start in Webster's place or come off the bench. After December 15th, we should trade Miller for this guy. Someone who won't need the ball in his hands constantly to be effective. Let Roy handpick the guy. So much gets solved this way:

1) Blake can relax and know that the PG position is his. He doesn't have to look over his shoulder. He'll play better.

2) Bayless finally gets real minutes at backup PG. With Sergio being sent out, Bayless was ready to take on that role and then suddenly, we bring in Miller like a slap in the face to all of Bayless' hard work.

3) Brandon Roy is finally happy, can take charge of the team, and control the pace of the game, something that was considered one of his strengths from coaches and players around the league earlier in his career (y'know, back when he was winning Player of the Week awards?)

4) New player takes some scoring pressure off Roy when needed. Essentially, this new player is the new Travis Outlaw.

5) Finally, it begins to feel like "last year" again. And we get out of the first round this time because LMA & Roy are more experienced and Oden has improved. Plus, New Player delivers that extra punch of scoring that Travis failed to last spring.

And there. Everything's back to normal in Blazer land. No worries. Blake has shown that he can get the ball to Oden. In fact, it is Blake who has set up Oden for more wide open dunks than any other player on the team including Miller.

This would make me happy. Thoughts?

 

It accomplishes a lot (see above), especially the gain we will get from finally giving Bayless real minutes. Bayless will deliver. Trust me.

 

Fuck. If we could get any of those for Miller, we would be a lock for the WCF. Like I said, this also results in better play from Roy, Blake, Bayless, and even Oden.

 

I love your hypocritical "decorum" in the telling others of what is respectful.


I too can laugh at your pretentious smugness. And no, I'm not trying to be respectful.

 

This is only his 4th year and he ended his 1st year in the doctor's office so basically you're only talking about two seasons.

 

We don't need a PG. We already have the two boys that Roy wants to play with.

 

It will never EVER happen. Ever.

 

Amen.

I don't know where you are getting the hypocritical part. I was trying to translate for another poster and provide my own input as I stated several times.

As for the line about Jaynes and Quick, I think it's funny, I'm not making fun of him. I think they ARE bad examples to use because they're paid (or in one case were paid) to stir the pot a little.

But really if it makes you feel that much better to make a personal insult in a post, go for it!

 

Leave it to barfo to look it up..thanks barfo!

 

great post

 

I'm going to find it when I have the time. You did mention Joel's intelligence.

Edit - Too much searching, and I don't really care. If you say you didn't post it, that's good enough for me, I believe you.

 

I think he's telling the forum what he considers respectful, not what "is" respectful.
