    In before the "Berger is a hack and doesn't know what he's talking about" comments


    It only makes sense that the Blazers would be interested. He pretty much fits what Nate wants, which is a player in his prime that can contribute now.

    The joke is you my good friend. There was no tirade. And it's not my fault people do that when they disagree with someone in the national media.

    Monta is one of my favorite players to watch! He's the biggest gunner in the entire NBA, but oh well.

    I would do it. It would take Batum, Miller and Rudy. But I like what's left. Yes Ellis would hurt LMA's game a little, (as he is not a true PG) but I like the end of the game lineup of Roy, Eliis, Wallace, LMA and Oden.

    We need a PG who can score IMO opinion.

    I posted this idea in another thread without any response. What do you think? Seems like it would be beneficial for all teams...

    This option make Monta the PG and keep Miller as our veteran pg off the bench until his career is over.

    Here's how it could work:

    Portland sends Batum and Camby to Philly (Philly gets a good prospect who fits with their team and cap relief).

    Philly sends Iggy to Golden State and Speights to Portland (GS gets who they want and we get a young C).

    Golden State sends Monta Ellis to Portland (we get our scoring PGOTF).

    Ellis averaged 5.6 apg. That's not horrible, and was probably aided by GS's offense.....but still.

    As for Ellis being a chucker, his usage rate was just about where Brandon Roy's was 2 years ago......Within the offense

    the tirade was referring to how it seems 80% of your posts start with "in before a link is asked for" no need to get so upset about it or hurt.

    Not near enough to get Speights as well. Great trade for Portland though. I still think Augustin is someone to really go for. Aldridge and him are buddies, and I think it would only help LA's game

    I am not upset or hurt, but for shits and giggles, I will stop that. If for no other reason than to see how often it happens when some "hack" posts possitive things about Portland, and not so possitive things. Sort of an experiment

    Do what you want.. I can joke about it too then though right? :cheers:
    For the record I do like you, and I actually agree with probaby 65-70% of what you say, it just gets kinda old sifting through whats real and not when you have your agendas.

    He averaged 5.5 dimes in that fast paced up tempo offense. Most of them were to Curry leaking out on fast breaks. I love him, but I could only imagine what this place would be like if our PG was launching 20+ shots a game!!!

    I like to keep people on their toes here in this forum. As you know, I am much different in the Ducks forum. There are probably 2-3 people in this forum that know how I truly feel about the Blazers, management and Nate

    He's not a PG. I'd much rather Larry & Co. to pursue a real PG.

    LOL, Like our offensive Pace even has 20 shots a game to give

    He seems to me like Bayless on steroids, so I think that would be a good thing. I also wonder if he could be a product of the warriors system in a bad way? Maybe our coach, one of the best young coaches in the league, would have him playing within the system we have here? Maybe he ends up being a guy who's PPG lower, but is still able to get a shot off, and keep us from the horrible drouts we seem to have....Not because of the system of course
