    That kind of drivel is below a well respected media outlet like thenbacentral.

    I dont think Prince is an effective NBA player anymore. Not worth a roster spot IMO.

    Same here. Maybe if a spot opens up via trade, sure, but nothing to cut someone for, and nothing to get excited about.

    Prince is approximately as exciting as Blake (take that however you choose). He's definitely an upgrade over Wright.

    Chandler seems to be plan A. Prince is plan B.
    I wonder if there is anyway Neil is putting the word out about Prince so Denver thinks we have other options? Thus attempting to stop them from holding out for more. Maybe we are not interested in Prince at all.......

    Rosie O'Donnell would be an upgrade over Wright...

    Poor Wright. he played better as the all-star break got closer. Just like most vets do.

    Just so that everyone knows, Prince hails from SoCal. So, if it's us vs. the Clips....

    This makes as much sense in here as most of the posts in this thread do.

    We don't think you're an effective nba player anymore either, but we haven't said anything out of respect

    Prince is a great, Steve Blake type move..smart, savvy, doesn't need to score but a team first player. As a bench guy he'll be valuable come playoff time. I think he's a great Batum backup and will help Crabbe along with his development. No risk move seeing as how he'll be a really affordable role player and mentor. He has more playoff experience than any player on our bench. One ring and multilple eastern conference championships or appearances. Good character guy with length on defense which is always an issue for our bench squad. I think this would be a really solid pickup going into the postseason but like Kaman and Blake, a rental for a couple of years. Prince looked pretty good when they beat us at home this season. Pesky defender.

    He seems like a guy who would come to Portland and fit right in.

    Actually that video really made me focus on two baskteballs and contemplate the double dribble rule.
