    Bullshit.

    Roy loafed on defense all the time and it hurt the team defensively and accountability. A true top ten player is somebody who plays both ways and does more than just focus on offense. Certainly the Blazers could use a defensive minded big to pair up with LA, but that doesn't excuse him from rebounding, playing defense and setting screens.

    Well No Shit. But don't you think it would benefit our leader in scoring and MPG to have some help on the glass? You don't think LMA has been overworked at all?

    I think he has, but as a PF you can't take possessions off on the backboards

    What did I say above? (hint: read the full text of my post).

    As for him being "overworked," no, I don't think so. he's not playing 40+ minutes a night like he had to so much of last year. 36-37 minutes is fine, he just needs some better players around him to step up and take some of the attention off of him, so teams get burned doubling him.

    I loved Wallace's game 2 or 3 years ago. I still like it today. But, I sense the wheels falling off shortly. I say we should get what we can for him.
