    You mean a perfect fit and he would be interested in us? Don't see that everyday. To bad we can't do anything about it right now. :(

    Landry is maybe the most ideal backup 4 in the NBA. Knows his role, can put the ball through the hoop, a great teammate and can mix it up on defense.

    I know teams (etc) can't talk about players during the work stoppage, players can talk about teams?

    Yes, the players union has not placed any limits on what the players can or can not talk about.

    The Mikes can't discuss anything with the players, right? I wonder, though, if, say, 1080 has invited any of the Blazer players to come in and chat on-air?

    Yes he would be a huge asset for the Blazers. I guess every team will have a problem offering him a big contract espeically if he comes off the bench. Under most CBA rumors it will be tough for everyone, they all will be hurting. So I guess we have just a good of a chance as most teams. But I doubt it will happen.

    He'd be the third Trailblazer coming back from a knee injury?

    When I've decried this team's lack of continuity and consistency, I'm not so sure this is what I had in mind?

    He had knee surgery again?

    I would love to have him on the team. Not counting on anything from Oden at this point. Not crazy about Crash playing the 4 and staying healthy. Landry also gets to the free throw line alot in the fourth quarter.

    The CBA could prohibit us if we get a hard cap. Would think NO would want to keep West over Landry. Could possibly get CL here via a three way sign and trade with Camby going to the third team, assets going back to NO, and Landry here.

    Yes Landry would be a very nice addition, I wouldn't want to pay him more than the MLE though.

    I would consider a deal with Camby if we don't have the ability to sign Landry in the next CBA. Depending on the next CBA we may be able to sign Landry outright if there is a similar soft cap or not be in a position to offer him anything if an eventual hard cap will be implemented. With a hard cap we may need all the money for Crash/Oden/Batum or a starter level free agent.

    o

    Interesting question. Batum is due an extension soon. Are we better off signing him or using those resources for Landry? I would have loved to have Landry over Nic for the Dallas series.

    Nice that a decent player like him considers the Blazers to be a favorable destination. Especially considering he knows he'd never get starters minutes at his natural position.

    This is a guy who started throughout the playoffs and over 1/3 of games played last year. It's not really typical that a guy so young (28) talks so eagerly about coming to a team where he'd clearly be a bench player.

    He could have a similar role on a team like Miami, Dallas, OKC, Boston.... Better weather (except Boston), chance at a championship, bigger superstars....and he's bringing up Portland?

    Nice to hear.

    Oops, for some reason I had him and David West mixed up.

    I noticed that he didn't say he'd also be willing to be paid like a bench player. :)
