    Why don't we go after Ray Allen? A two time champion Hall of Famer who can shoot and give us real scoring off the bench. That would be an amazing get.

    I'd imagine we'd cut someone in a second if there was a whiff of RayRay coming here. I think he's going to evaluate his options in January or so.

    I think Allen could be the missing piece to a Blazers championship this year.

    I just get the feeling that like mo Williams, he is very well liked amongst the players.

    I would love Allen! He is the perfect fit... Too bad we are only pulling players we have no chance getting

    I'm one of the few that actually like what Wright brings on defense and hustle.

    Robinson for Teletovic(!) works money wise.

    A move that would bring depth to our PF/C rotation and send Robinson into a situation where he could get the PT and it's in his hometown:

    To Portland: Kevin Seraphin

    To Washington: Thomas Robinson

    Doug McDermott will take his starting job sooner or later.

    Nico would love it. Seraphin has played with him for France and they know each other's game pretty well.

    If it happens it happens but I would prefer a player with a little more experience. The Blazers aren't a rebuilding team anymore. They are a team on the hunt for a championship, A veteran team. You don't see teams like San Antonio or the Cavs burning up to get young players just because they have potential.

    What hustle? I've never seen him drive on the floor for the ball.

    I've seen him lead fast breaks and hit the trailer for a dunk when he could've gone for his own shot. He has quick hands and gets to loose balls. He's a great defender. When his shot starts falling, you'll look at him in a different light. Like I said, I'm one of the few folks here that like him. Budinger is not a stellar defender. Wright is a vocal leader coming off the bench. Even in a loss at Sac, his +/- was higher than Wes, Batum, Nico, LA, Dame's or Rolo's. I give him credit for what he brings.

    to be fair, the board had a better +/- than them.
