    At least the dude knows how to hit the outside jumper. Also he's a fan favorite and the teammates love him. Patty and Matthews developed a special bond last season. I wonder if Mills would help bring back Matthews from his funk?

    Why couldn't we bring Mills in? At least Nate would be able to bench Felton if Felton is turning the ball over.

    Um, yes please. Anything is better than Failton. And at this point, it's time to wash our hands of these shitty veterans (Failton and Crawfull) and get our two rookies in the mix. We need to evaluate our talent and move ON.

    I would gladly replace Armon with Patty, even if Patty never saw a minute of time on the floor (although why he shouldn't given how shitty Felton and Smith have been...) just because he's relentlessly up and this team has gotten seriously down (with good reason, but still).

    So cut Oden and sign him? I guess if the followup move is to trade Crawford, Felton and Wallace and play all of the young guys it probably doesn't threaten to hurt our chances at a good draft pick, so I'm OK it with it I guess.

    I'd rather have this kid as the next PG than Mills.

    I like the idea of Mills- at least with respect to Failton.

    I can't think of anything Mills can't do better.

    I asked if patty mills would ever be in a blazers uni again and the answer was an astounding "not likely at all"

    Not surprising. This current team cannot evaluate talent to save their lives.

    Why? Did they also select Failton & Crawful to play pivotal roles on their teams?

    Isnt he still under contract in China? Meaning he can't sign with anyone till their playoffs are done?

    No, but they haven't brought Patty in as their savior

    You may be right, but we won't know for sure until Mills is cleared for play here. I'll be surprised if he isn't picked up by someone looking for more backcourt depth.

    Who expects that? But he's an improvement over Failton.

    Mills was waived in China. He is a FA and can sign with anyone now
