    Totally underwhelmed by Felton.

    Felton and Amare looked dandy in the pick and roll.

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Another wasted pick.

    So....let me understand this correctly, we don't swap picks and so we have really done nothing to address any of the needs the Blazers have. I don't see the PG swap as making sense in-and-of-itself. And we draft another backup PG.

    Yup.

    Love it.

    I'm excited.

    Stoked.

    :(

    I disagree.

    Felton's had one half of one good season in the NBA after being in the NBA for six years. That's an indication of an aberration, not true capabilities.

    At least Nolan Smith should be 10x better than Mills

    Fuck....

    We've got such a glut now in the backcourt. If there aren't any further moves to get a big, I'm going to be pissed.

    Picks will be swapped, or there is no deal.

    I just wonder if Denver is going to pay Miller to come off of the bench.

    You didn't mention that Smith is a combo guard, and that he's 23 next month.

    NOW you're excited!

    Ed O.
    P.S. I still think we HAVE to be trading Smith. That pick makes no sense.

    If we do in fact keep Nolan Smith. I can only trust that our interim GM and scouts think he's going to be good. They know far more than us message board geeks do.

    I guess that's true ... but where do you think Williams fits in then (or does it matter)?

    Denver Post is reporting that Mavs are giving up No. 26 pick in Nuggets/Blazers deal that swaps Ray Felton and Andre Miller.

    Yeah, that would be my guess, too.

    Do we get Dallas's 26?
