Balanced, as well as full of guys who play multiple positions. 1 Blake 1/2 Lillard, CJ 2/3 Wes, Afflalo, Crabbe, Gee 3 Batum 3/4 Wright 4/5 Aldridge, Freeland, Leonard 5 Lopez, Kaman The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that a pure PG is the right move. Where's Eric Maynor these days...?
What does Alonzo Gee bring to the team? "Nobody's really talking about that, but I think anybody that watched our game at Denver (saw) the impact he can have on the defensive end of the court. We really felt like we wanted to make sure Alonzo was included in the deal. Because we were losing an athlete and an open-floor player like Will. Alonzo is unique. We have a lot of highly skilled guys that make shots on our team. But he guards three positions, he's an NBA-caliber athlete, he's a tough kid, he's excited about being here and having a chance to compete. He hasn't been to the playoffs before, so he's excited about that opportunity. We'll see. He's going to get a chance. Having a guy who's an elite defender when you get into a playoff series, it's just a nice luxury to have. And it adds even more depth on our perimeter." http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/i...zo.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
POR is going to wait until March 1st (when all buyouts have to be completed for someone to be available for playoffs) before deciding according to reports and those reports say they may not make a move at all. Now of course these are just reports and could change but...
I haven't seen those reports, just the reports that no more moves would be made today. That is a given as players have to clear waivers and whatnot and most players won't be waived our bought out for at least a couple days. I think though that if nothing else they will get involved in signing a pleyer just to keep them away from another contender.
The press is still criticizing our bench as one of league's worst. Really? I thought it had improved dramatically.
Afflalo was our missing piece, I firmly believe that. The Memphis game may just turn to our favor now.
Hopefully they criticize our starters too. And hopefully the rest of the association will believe them.
Afflalo will be great but let's not guarantee a win against Memphis. Afflalo will have a bumpy first couple weeks, we need to prepare for that.
I didn't Kingspeed it, I say it may just have turned in our favor. I had little confidence going into it.
no one has mentioned batum may be the 6th man soon? wes could start at the 3 np. batum better step up that game son
