    Great move? Who is our backup PF/C when Camby, Oden and god forbid LA get hurt??? Chris Johnson? Pryz???

    At this point Carl Landry over Roy

    THIS... Couldn't have said it better myself. At least he isn't LJ that demands to win a ring. Roy loves Portland and this is why I love him!

    LYAO all you want. Felton, Matthews, Batum, Wallace, and Aldridge are all good, and are all healthy. As for the other guys, here's what I'd like to see for a decent season:
    • Oden: 50 games, 24 mpg--8 ppg, 8 rpg, 2 bpg
    • Camby: 50 games, 24 mpg--4 ppg, 8 rpg, 1.5 bpg
    • Roy: 40 games, 20 mpg in a backup role--10 ppg, 3 rpg, 3 apg
    None of those are unreasonable. If we got that, plus good health and decent production from the top 5, are we not a playoff team?

    No, not championship, but a good coach should be able to guide that team to win a playoff series or two if healthy.

    Phew, I feel much better now.

    Hopefully he chooses Bucks so the Blazers have to get a real player.

    I know you are smart enough to know we are not going to get a Howard or Paul to come here. (and stay) So if you are the GM, who do you go after that will get us to the WCF?

    I agree LA, Dallas, and OKC are better. But cutting Roy just so we can "make trades" is inaccurate IMO. We can make trades regardless. Who do you want to trade or develop. (ROY is not an option to trade because of his contract)

    Wallace, Oden, Felton, Wes and Batum are all on the table. Who does GM MM go after?

    Pryzbilla would be a great addition. Plus it would basically mean we got Wallace for nothing. All we need is a big body out there that can rebound, block shots and defend. All assets of Pryzbilla. I would gladly take him.

    Agree with Brock. There is simply way too many IFS on this roster. I am not comfortable with pryz as a 3rd backup no less a rotation player. They needed to cut Roy and bring in legit front court help. Not washed up players and projects.

    Old Man Joel's injury history scares me more than young man Greg's. Just retire, big fella! Go fishin' and spend time with the family on the riches you've earned.

    I think Pryzbilla can back up Aldridge; especially if we have Wallace on the floor. But, Pryz could come with just vet min and we can still get Chuck Hayes for Min MLE

    No. But Wallace can. Wallace may not like it, but for Batum to get minutes at the 3, then Wallace has to get minutes at the 4. (And no Batum is not a SG-on offense)

    That fact that Joel is contemplating retirement isn't a good sign. I don't think he's got a lot in the tank left.

    Magnifier if I told you today that the Blazers had signed Sabonis to play backup center Im pretty confident you would include words like championship and undefeated in your response.

    Why not? It's expected that Hayes would probably get the 3.3 mil per season. That's what would be left for Blazers to offer. If Pryz signs for vet min, then we can do it.

    If they signed Sabas as the big man assistant coach, I may agree with you. Stop being a dick with your "GREEN" style of response. I'm not talking about Drexler coming out of retirement to play for us.
