    If you pay half of his salary, sure.

    Sure, if you send up Lopez.

    Btw, just so it's crystal clear, that was totally tongue in cheek. The Nets would have to send a 1st round pick too. ;)

    It'd have to be the 2012 first rounder with Derrick Favors....

    Deal?

    Why is Outlaw such a bum this year?

    Role?

    His best position is PF and should only be a backup who you could bring in as a spark. Running ISO's for Outlaw is atrocious.

    He can't even hit an open jump shot this year. It's depressing.

    Jesus christ. Interesting to see the PER's now:

    Player/PER last year as a Blazer/PER now

    Travis Outlaw: 15.0 8.4
    Steve Blake: 11.2 7.4
    Zach Randolph: 22.8 21.6
    Webster: 12.5 13.1
    Jack: 13.0 11.3
    Frye: 10.0 11.5
    Bayless: 14.3 16.1

    Overall, there's not much of a trend of players getting significantly better statistically when they leave this team. Bayless showed the most marked improvement, but he is only a third year guy, and he showed even more improvement from his first to second year as a Blazer.

    The team is struggling right now, but I look at how players look once they are "unleashed" from McMillan's system and the results aren't that great. His system is slow, boring, risk averse, predictable, and it appears easy to plan for in the playoffs. But I think it's a little harder to look at the above list and say, "It doesn't really maximize player talent."

    Great post mook! Yes I kind of agree with your sentiments, sure I'd love for the team to have a better offense but I'm not sure its really costing us wins...

    I was shocked when NJ gave him that deal. He was an acceptable backup but a horrible starter and generally very streaky. A full MLE offer??? Made me so glad we had Camby and he was somebody elses problem.

    I'd love to have him in place of Babbit on a small salary, but Outlaw just really sucks as a $35 million dollar man.

    The camera adds 5 lbs. Or was it 10?

    Nope.

    I have no idea why the Nets chose to pay Trout anything.
    I guess it's just another case of no one actually seeing the Blazers play basketball.
