    Slowly bring along CJ.

    Make a play for Teletovic.

    Bench Mo.

    Problem solved.

    Our starters are playing some amazing basketball right now. I like Freeland, but we really need that one bench guy who can fill it up. Someone like Stuckey, Ginobili, Crawford, or Tyreke Evans for the Pelicans. We really don't have that. I thought Mo was going to be the steady vet point guard, but he's been pretty much anything but. I would like to see Earl Watson get some burn. I'm hoping that CJ gets some minutes because I think he could be that scorer for us. I guess we'll have to see.

    I think all we need is a PG like Sergio. They don't technically need to hit the jay? But have those great passes.

    I wouldn't even mind bring both Rudy and Sergio; then allow Claver to come off the bench with them.

    Dude, Earl Watson.... the guy plays tough defense and he runs the offense. Plus, he's burned us plenty of times in the past. Give him a try. He can't possibly be worse than Mo.

    You do remember Sergio on defense ... right? He plays a zone defense in Spain right now. He may be the worst Blazer PG defensively that I remember in my life. Sure, he has some fancy passes, but he's a no defense PG who lacks the elite passing skills of a Ricky Rubio. I'd be more interested in seeing if Steve Blake is available in exchange for Mo Williams.

    He won't take a bunch of stupid shots a game, and will actually try to distribute the ball and play defense.

    I think Olshey is tied at the hip with Mo, though, so it's a moot point.

    I really missed your posting tonight. Clearly you posted this to get a reaction from posters, just like a troll does when a troll posts.

    Now it's time to play the victim again, right?

    I am busy tonight

    He played 5 minutes (check)
    He was shitty (check)
    I posted it in a thread about adding bench players (check)

    A post to get reactions would have been something like Wow, all you Leonar_ lovers must be __________ _________ after his second straight 5 minute shit stint

    Yeah, thought so.

    What's sad to me is that as much shit personally you've been through, you continue to spend so much negative energy on the 9th man in the Blazer rotation. I really don't get it, but I guess people live their lives the way they need to live them.

    When CJ get's back, take Mo, Meyers, picks and see if you can't bring in another decent player to come off the bench with CJ. It doen't have to be a big. I trust Joel Freeland.

    I'd like a shooting PF/C if possible. I like Joel as much as the next guy, but being three deep at PF/C would be nice.

    That they need bench help is almost beyond debate. It's what kind of bench help do they need? They get almost nothing from their big men off the bench offensively although they have been rebounding quite well in spurts. Nothing but an occasional 3-pointer from Wright and some point, a few assists, poor shooting and a ton of dribbling from Mo.

    Like others, I'm afraid NeO is attached to Mo-Willi at the hip and won't move him no matter how bad he is. I'm still on the Hawes bandwagon if they could make that happen because I think he is a nice balance to Freeland, Wright and Mo and would help make them better.
