Wish we kept Dre

Would be better than Mo right now. You could pencil in Dre for 6 assists a night with Aldridge Robinson or Leonard even.

 

Lillard makes all our past mistakes worth it though IMO

 

I really liked him but he is cursed when it comes to the playoffs. No matter how well he plays his teams lose the series.

 

I wonder if we could pick him up. I can't imagine Denver would want much.

 

Hasn't he accepted his role on the bench now?

 

At 37 years of age you'd think so

 

Well, he shouldn't be starting over Lawson and he wouldn't be starting over Lillard. I think Dre is still a damn fine point guard, but he's not a guy you can play 30+ minutes anymore. I'd love to see him come off our bench though. I wonder what Denver would want. We don't have much to give them.

 

How many times have the Blazers advanced in the playoffs in the last 10 years? So what is your point?

 

Not a lot of PT between him, lawson and Nate. Would be a nice fit offensively with Lillard but pretty horrific defensively. As far as him running the bench unit, Prof Miller would be a nice change of pace.

 

We all do. There's a bunch of ex-Blazers I'd like back: him, Jarrett Jack and Channing Frye to name three. But NOT JJ Hickson.

(Even Travis is getting some minutes these days.)

 

Loved it when Dre was here. Such an even-keeled player.
He was one of the guys to call McMillan on his crap early on, with that argumaent at practice.
McMillan rewarded him by ending his 'Ironman' streak.
So glad McMillan is history.

 

All true except the iron man streak part. I'm pretty sure that ended when Ginger Griffin got away with two hard pushes in Andre's back, no call of course, so Andre drilled him out of bounds to make his point, resulting in a league suspension. You're probably thinking about Nate starting Blankey over Andre in this early AM.

 

Just think about this... With dre, we have no Felton. With no Felton, our team wouldn't probably have the mutiny of Nate. Since Wallace was part of that mutiny, the trade between New Jersey wouldn't have happen and we lose dame.

So no I do not wish we still had miller

Oh man, I loved the 'Dre the human cannonball' play!
Dre don't suffer no fools.

For years people kept saying if we hadn't picked Martell Webster over Chris Paul we'd have never got Oden. Back when Oden was a good thing.

If Walton was healthy would we have got Drexler? At some point it needs to stop and we can judge each move in isolation. Getting rid of Miller for Felton was a terrible move.

Dre is quite a bit older now, if Denver keeps losing, which I definitely expect, they might look at trading him away to save a couple bucks. Part of his contract is guaranteed next season. If we could flip say Mo Williams to Miami or Houston or another contender and have Denver get salary relief they might give us Dre for almost nothing.

 

Nah I wouldn't want that still. I think mo will prove to be more valuable to us. The one thing miller doesn't have is a three point shot; which will create mismatch problems. Is rather have all our wings able to drain the three, so we can keep the defense honest

 

When Dre was here the main problem was his outside shooting. In the Dallas series we had Dre, Gerald, Camby all on the floor together and spacing was a nightmare. There was still thoughts of Roy returning and our PG needing to play off the ball. Those are distant times now. I've never seen shooting as good as we have on this years roster, Mo skillset is pretty redundent with Dam, Wes, Nic, Wright, LA, and a healthy CJ. You don't need 5 guys on the court at the 3 point line! That shooting could greatly complement Dre's skillset. I'd love to see him brought back. With a new GM and new coach I don't think he'd have any ill feelings about returning to our team. Aldridge praised Dre for his time here while he's been a Nugget.
