    Im gonna go get my Delly jersey.

    Adding good perimeter defenders will make Leonar_ look as good as you all think he is on defense

    He was more popular in that town than LeBron for a week of the finals. The whole team wants him back. He fits an actual need as a defensive small guard and is young. They'll match $5 million per year offer so I'd guess we'd have to pay more like $7 million per year. I don't think having Delly join our team on a larger contract than Ed Davis makes sense for us. But heck many thought the same of Wes Matthews rookie year and he proved less than Delly. Would any of you want Delly for 4 years $28 million?

    I think Neil wants to give CJ the opportunity to be our second best player and that will mean most of the backup PG minutes.

    I assume you're talking about this:



    Is this based on actual information or just total speculation?

    I am not so sure they would match 5 mil. In the other Dellavedova thread from last week I linked this article that said he was asking for 4 and Cleveland did not want to give it to him.

    Maybe the Blazers will get a wink wink deal done with Cleveland stipulating that if Cleveland does not match a 4 mil a year offer, we will take take Haywood off their hands for next to nothing.

    I'm assuming the Delly stuff is speculation until concrete evidence emerges. However, I wouldn't hate the move as some do, not because I think he's very good (the finals, or more specifically, two games of them were his mini-Linsanity, and that's not really who he is) but I like his attitude and it would be great if we were more chippy and less nice. Plus you could stick him out there next to CJ and he could guard whichever guard was more of a threat and allow CJ to be a SG once in a while (he's not the greatest defender, but he's bigger than CJ).

    Is he really bigger than CJ?
    True he measure in at 3/4 of an inch taller, but his wingspan is 2 inches shorter, and he weighs 10 lbs less.

    That being said if he can run the point I am all for it.

    Wonder how signing Mo Williams will fit into GM LeBron’s decision to re-sign Dell?

    Dellevadova is pretty much Bizzaro Mo.

    Hitler was a baller that knew how to run an offense. His defense was much to be desired though.

    He was fine until he took on the Russian team.

    Once again I'm having a vision of genius: Brown Blazer uniforms with black armbands with pinwheels. Maybe Nike or Adidas could make some kind of knee-high black leather basketball shoe. I have a jlprk-like mind. It's that good.

    The Nazi's were like the Blazers last year, they were rolling early but sputtered during the winter. Too much?
