    And just the same.... fat does NOT turn into muscle.

    Good luck burning off your Buddha belly, Ray-Ray. May it be somewhere far, far away from PDX.

    Why is the heck would POR want to keep Felton? I don't care how well he plays in these last few games....

    Just the fact that you tried to deal him (with an expiring contract) and NOBODY would even take his sorry ass ought to serve as a GIGANTIC red flag....and now you want to pay the guy and keep him?

    talk about asinine....

    He came in fat and out of shape
    He quit on his coach
    He bitched and sulked about his playing time to other teamates and was generally a bad influence on many of them
    and most importantly, he has sucked on the floor, bad shooting, piss poor decision making, dribbling the ball of his foot\leg to guiness book of world records proportions....

    cut bait with that loser...I don't EVER want to see him in a Blazer uniform again....Let alone him rubbing lotion on himself after a game while discussing his poor performance with a shrug and "I don't give a shit" attitude....

    Most hated Blazer player EVER and it is not even close to me...

    Than we win. Felton would make an great backup. It's the pressure situations that he's failed in, if we land a big time PG, Felton would be awesome for an uptempo second unit.

    Because this:

    Felton > Flynn > Smith

    I want him out of town. No need to have him anywhere close to the roster next season

    This must be some heretofore unknown use of the word "win" that I'm not familiar with?

    I figure a Nash/Felton tandem at PG would be your worst nightmare

    I would have a Feltdown. That's what would happen.

    Don't get me wrong, Nash would be a huge upgrade obviously. But at 39 and this team still nowhere near competing for a title, I think it woul dbe a bad signing

    Even MB tweeted the other day that he doesn't expect Felton to be back. And it's MB!

    Well, MB always says what he thinks fans want to hear, so I'm not surprised

    That is HIGHLY debateable this year and I agree both Flynn and Smith suck, just Felton sucks worse....with the amount of cap space POR has they are better off jettisoning all three and bringing in a PG....even if they swing for the fences (D-Will, trade for Rondo, Nash) and miss...a guy like Dragic or Brooks would be better than all three of those guys combined....

    and you would actually want POR to pay Ray Felton $4-5 mil or gulp! more a year to keep that pudgy piece of garbage? Are you insane? Think about it, not ONE NBA team wanted to trade for Felton, not one....and his contract is up at the end of the year so there was very little risk involvement....Yeah, he is valuable alright...

    If he is this crappy in a contract season, just imagine how bad he will be when he doesn't have to play for a contract and doesn't have incentive to come into town in shape or play smart\hard basketball...oh wait that's right, it apparently doesn't matter to him either way...greeeeeaat.

    The greater farce is that some people here actually think that Ray Ray would accept a b\u PG position with POR...lol....Not even close.....he would sulk, bitch and whine and be the cancerous piece of garbage that he is...

    He sucks as a starter...He is too arrogant to be a backup...He is fat and out of shape, shows bad decision making...apparently can't shoot anymore..plays ole defense...and worst of all doesn't seem to give a crap...just another day....

    Yeah, let's bring THAT guy back....

    What's a greater farce, thinking Felton would accept being back up or thinking Blazers actually have a chance at D-Will or Rondo.

    Felton is going to have to accept a back up role somewhere. No way D-Will comes to Ptd.
