    In terms of winning, his skills have yet to fit with any team.

    Is it too much to ask for him to not completely brick open 15' shots? I agree that Miller has talent, but so far tonight, when he is in the game, his defender just collapses on Aldridge, and the entire offense grinds to a halt. Either that, or 'Dre hoists up some ugly shot that looks off when it leaves his hand.

    The spacing is so bad nobody can post up.

    Has that guy ever been right? He keeps throwing around rumor after rumor every week.

    Love Buck Williams but he looks like Uncle Ben wearing that bow tie.

    I'd trade Andre and Joel for Brand and Turner.

    So would I, but Turner has been underwhelming in the preseason. Collins is reluctant about giving him too much run because he's so prone to mistakes.

    Turner? SG is the least of the worries. The Blazers need a PG. I'd put in Johnson, since he at least tried to be a PG, unlike Miller.

    He's not making predictions. he apparently just hears things from somebody about what's being talked about behind the scenes ... if you believe him.

    Miller did have a slow start, but the offensive foul was bullshit. It turned out to be a 5 pt swing. I thought Rudy looked very good. He was very active.

    From the projections (take from them what you will), Turner could end up being a rich man's Matthews, able to play the 1/2/3. We could run Matthews/Roy/Batum and bring Turner in for any of them. I get what you're saying about Turner making mistakes, but I still would take a chance. Esp if it was just Andre and Joel going out.

    Rudy was at least active on the defensive end.

    He was horrible defensively on the ball. He was active off it though. His spacing was also really poor in some of the sets.....well in the two sets they ran anyway

    Adam Bjaadsf0gu is trying a bit too hard, but I didn't automatically turn it off like with Luftman or Akamian.
