    I agree.
    My only problem with that statement is that it can quickly change.
    How about we let the season start at least first before we go all in on what should happen.

    I'm really hoping that Jones/RoCo can be our
    Greg Anthony/Augmon, or
    MJ/Pippen (it you want to be hyperbolic).

    A pair of defensive "dogs" out there to handle the opponents best players.

    Jesus. When was the last time we had such a high flyer? Outlaw? DMiles? After my initial disappointment with giving him full MLE, he might turn out to be my favorite player this yr.

    I agree completely but not just a defensive minded coach, a tough one that holds guys accountable and calls them out for boneheaded shit. I think Stotts' style can work but it needs something to counterbalance it. We need a bad cop to Stotts' good cop, obviously the coaching style will stay more encouragement than accountability because Stotts is the head coach but a little in game accountability would be so good for these guys.

    Judging from Nekias Duncan, of BasketballNews.com and all things Miami according to Dan Marang, Jones can't dribble at all and does not hit the corner '3' which is the one he needs to hit as a wing. He was very good in the zone system that Miami runs but they do a very good job of putting people in a position to where they play the best defense they can.

    Of the contract Jones got, Duncan said, 'good for him' but that didn't sound overly positive for what he could do for the Blazers. His comments also consisted of, "I don't want to be too negative", and overall, left you wondering what the positives were outside of dunking. Working off of Dame will be different than he's ever done before but he is better in the short roll than as a screen setter where Dame is pulling up from 30'.

    Interesting take from someone who has seen him a lot. Marang calls him the best athlete the Blazers have had in 20 years....but then refers to Dame as the worst lob passer for an elite PG in NBA history. (laughs) Says Nurk is the best lob passer.

    I think TRob was probably just as good an athlete. That didn't make him a good basketball player

    Mike Rice lives in Florida and has seen him play a LOT. He basically says that he will excel if used properly.
