    Barton fits better alongside Bradley, IMO

    Is Bradley a good defender?

    Bradley and Patrick Beverley are both allowed to use their hands on the perimeter to defend.

    I wonder if the refs would allow Bradley to continue mugging opposing PGs on the perimeter if he became a Blazer. It's a moot point, anyhow, because it's doubtful he would want to come off the bench for 25 mpg at this point of his career.

    Where's he going to get a starting job though? People say this a lot about free agents, they won't be willing to come off the bench, will want more minutes... But where is that really going to happen? Chances are if he can get good money and a defined role, he's likely to take it.

    Especially if it's on a good team near his home.

    Good catch. Didn't realize he was from Tacoma.

    Yeah agreed. Its all about waiting for the first few waves of free agents to sign. That humbles guys hoping for a job. Take Mo Williams last summer, he initially wanted a multi year contract as a starter for a winner. He settled for a backup role at $2.5 million. Once all the good starting jobs are taken the remaining free agents are just looking to get money, some sort of a role, and hopefully stay away from the terrible teams.

    Trevor Ariza, Shaun Livingston that's it. The rest is a bunch of nonsense.

    Well, I dunno about YOUR Blazers, but here are the ones that (a) I think we might actually have a prayer of landing (i.e., not Lebron) and (b) I would like on the Portland Trailblazers (in no particular order):

    Shaun Livingston
    Luol Deng
    Channing Frye
    Trevor Ariza
    Pau Gasol
    Boris Diaw
    PJ Tucker

    Okay, that's about it. Isaiah Thomas is another short gunner, doesn't interest me. Vince Carter and Shawn Marion are just too damn old. Hawes is pretty meh - I liked him enough when Philly were offloading him to tank more but don't like the idea of actually paying money for him. Monroe would be too expensive and doesn't really fit.

    Actually, it's a timely, interesting thread. Good thing PapaG's not around to tell Bigger to bug off.

    Grasshopper, my jokes are profound. Discern the hidden trickery within each, like pulling out the smaller Russian doll from each larger one.

    So there is hidden trickery involved in becoming a Slavic midwife?

    No, there may be hidden trickery in who Bigger is!
