I was never a huge fan of Mo Williams, but, from a locker room perspective, he could come in handy right about now. It was he who told Batum he needed to step up and outplay Parsons during halftime of Game 1 vs. Houston. And if we got him, where would he play? Backup 2-Guard minutes? Also, I'm not down with dealing a 1st Round Pick to Minny for his services either.
Agreed. i havent seen anything to impress me and he has had starts. not extreme limited minutes He started center and got out hustled by a smaller guy from the outset. Didnt play terrible, but a center of his size should have dominated Milwaukies starting center. Stott's maybe listening to this board, started Meyers at center and it failed. Stotts spent the rest of the game trying to recover his rotation from that mistake. Meyer's isnt a center and shouldnt be playing center, no matter his size. He is a Kevin Love type player and needs an inside presence to be truly effective. I cant wait to see how his growth works out coming in and playing with Rolo at times.
which was he was more interested in shooting 3's than playing defense. Sounds like he might actually fit right in.
He got 3 touches and scored 4 points. Um, no. He's just a pretty awesome defensive rebounder, becoming a really good defender and is about as efficient as you can be (shooting only when wide-open, looking for cutters, not turning the ball over) on offense. But you're probably right, he's a baby Kevin Love with a really good attitude. Who the hell needs that on our team? Especially when we have 3 other players 6'11 and above who have an injury? And how does a first half "rotation mistake" translate to the 2nd half? IF you were right about him getting torched (and you aren't), why wasn't he back in the "first big off the bench" role in the 2nd half? Stotts thought that a small stretch 4 (Wright) was going to work better?
I really like Kaman Its always hard to trade fan favorites but I would probably do it. I would love to get Ross!
I never said Meyers GOT torched I said he WILL get torched by the rest of the league. I said he didn't dominate the smaller guy, which is what a 7'2 center should do. I am not saying he CANT play center at limited minutes, but I do not think training him, gearing him up to be a career center is a good idea. I will agree with you that the third quarter is where we lost the game, and Meyers wasn't in the paint. Don't get me wrong. We need Meyers to be a defensive impact in the paint as well as and offensive rebounder, but I don't think he should be playing Center, except in extreme situations. I do not think we are there yet.
Just because the Blazers name isnt active in trade rumors doesnt mean Olshey isnt living on the phone. Portland hasnt leaked much info before any moves have been made since Neil arrived. It was the same when he ran the Clippers.
Problem with that is Mo isn't on a multi year contract. That would mean it's a one year rental because we would be over cap and can't resign him
I know, just venting my frustration from not "hearing" anything yet, Jeff Green would be looking very nice in a Blazer uni the past 2-3 weeks
I don't think we need to trade anyone or for anyone. There is a championship team in this roster right now. The problem is only Aldridge is performing at that level. No one else on the team is performing up to the level they could if given the role. Some are doing even worse than adequate and I don't think they know what they have been asked to do. Neil needs to be busy but trading isn't it.
