    A shame?

    I'd call it deserved...that is what bad organizations get when they make poor decisions.....

    Tonight they make a sideways move and did nothing to address thier 2 biggest needs 1) bench scoring and 2) frontcourt depth. I would add 3) shooting, unless some of you think the great Jon Diebler is all that is needed to answer that...

    They DID address 4) get younger at PG (Felton) and maybe 5) a backup PG....We can only hope that Elliot Williams or Nolan Smith can provide more than Mills and Johnson did last year...........

    with a small portion of Wallace, we were close to a 50 win team with that core. Miller to Felton isn't costing us 1o games or so to drop into the lottery.

    Next year is going to be fun watching everybody pile on Felton.

    Of course, some of the same posters advocated acquiring him just a few years ago, but that's what make the interwebs so fun.

    2 guys from the noon-league could provide more than Mills and Armon did last year.

    If Oden doesn't step up, of course the team will be in trouble. He was the #1 pick in the draft and a "once in a generation" player. Meanwhile, you bash Durant in another thread.

    Ed O.bvious should be your new name, potentially.

    If Oden and Batum don't live up to their potential, or at least part of it for Oden, I think the Blazers will be in trouble.

    This is why we post at S2. Amazing insight.

    This trade feels just like when we got Steve Blake + Juan Dixon.

    Who advocated for him?

    I already have a nickname for him: Praymond Felton. Pray his bad shot selection goes in.

    One thing I loved about ESPN's coverage last night. Dick Vitale was not involved!

    Felton is better than either of those guys.
